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

Bluey just like the Brownlow Redleg, a midfielders award

    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.

    And now to the real serious stuff:  Is the Johnnie Walker Blue stand there again tonight?

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

    Is that a pat on the back Crystal?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
