So I was thinking the other day who would be in our top 5 at the moment for the Best & Fairest. We've had quite a few even performances but I would say that Viney would have to be a lock at the top currently. His form has been outstanding and I believe he's had two perfect scores in the coaches award. That certainly would indicate he'd be leading as that award is judged by those who see more than just disposal stats but genuine influence. 

Beyond that though I would struggle to work it. 

Max Gawn, Jack Watts, Nate Jones, Bernie Vince, and Ben Ken would probably be my first names that would come to mind as top 5 contenders.

Viney.

Gawn, Vince, Jones, Watts up there.

I like Kennedy, but he doesn't belong in the same group as the others you mentioned. 

I feel that Kennedy could be the "what the hell" top 5 placer. He probably won't have the stamina to maintain it for the entire year but I think he's one that does stuff that coaches love. 

I'm surprised many are placing Hogan in the top 5 at this stage, he may well get there by the end of the year but I think he's had a couple of outstanding games pocketed with solid-good games and a couple of mules. Really took until round 3 before we started seeing the real Jesse.

[Edit] Just realised the top 5s that included Hogan for years end.

Unsurprisingly I think Viney would be leading pretty comfortably at the moment. Gawn would probably be runner up at this stage.

There's a large group of players who are in contention for the remainder of the top five. I'm backing Jetta as a smokey for a top five finish this year.

I know the Melbourne B+F voting system rewards elite games as much as anything - so Viney and Gawn would be top 2. Hogan would be up there as well.

But it's also a reward for consistency of playing your role. So Bugg would be right up there. His work rate and defensive efforts from a wing would have him well placed.

Harmes would be another getting a fair bit of love for his good games as well as Kennedy.

Can you explain this system again DeeSpencer? Everyone gets votes out of ten for each game or some such?

I can't remember exactly but I thought it was each player gets a score out of 10 from 4 coaches, doing your role might only get 2 or 3, with a good game getting a pretty low score ie. 4 or 5 and a special game getting a 7,8 or 9. So a really excellent game can score 30+ (or 40) points, where just a standard good game might only get 15 or so. Clearly it's important to put together consistent games scoring 10-15 votes but a few big games can out weigh that.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
