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!

I'm shocked Gawn is not streets ahead, interesting voting system to say the least.

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.

Doesn't matter whether he was on his Pat Malone or not in context of the B&F.

Even if Jones doesn't win, well done to the just 2 people out of 170 who picked him in the poll. True believers ?

I've closed the poll now so you cheating buggers can't add/change your votes when the result is pretty close to over.  Enjoy! :D

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits. I apologize for skipping our annual season review show at the end of last season. After a disapponting season filled with off-field antics and a heated trade week, I needed a break.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
