The club B&F is always interesting given it's based on what the coaches want from the players which is often quite different from what the outside public wants/ thinks is a quality game,

I personally think any  of the top 5 would have been a deserving winner this year.

Yep, and people on here were calling for his head saying he should be stripped of his captaincy and dropped to the VFL! Just the sort of culture we want to be known for...

 

Well done Jonesy!!

Same with Tyson ("we mucked another draft/trade up etc."), but he had a phenomenal second half of the year!

Gee I thought Gawn would bolt in, he carried us all year.

He had a few games he was beaten, fair enough, true of all players. He certainly has as many big games as any others. 

I think he's been marked harshly for games where he beat up on bad rucks without huge influence around the ground. Seems stiff.

Dom Tyson will storm home and either win it or come 2nd.

On the maths, suggesting that Tyson will win is a bit like when you've gotta kick 6 goals to none in the last quarter to win, when you've only kicked 4 in the whole game up to that point.  It might happen, but it probably won't.

He was clearly our most valuable player all year and the best Ruck in the AFL. Can't understand why he didn't poll more votes.

Tyson's disposal was abysmal in the Cat's game.

Sharing the love around. All Australian. Same as Hunt winning best young player ahead of rising star listed players.

Viney was hardly seen against Carlton and Jones was injured against Geelong. That's where I see Dom catching them. However it is a big gap.

Viney was even more garbage against Geelong.

His last 2 games were putrid by his standards and may cost him the Bluey. Actually he was also average against Port as well. 

Hoping Tyson somehow gets it. He seems to be tonight's sentimental favourite.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
