The 2017 Keith "Bluey" Truscott Memorial Trophy is being held tonight at the Palladium Ballroom at Crown Casino.

It will be streamed live on Monday night.  http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/2017-10-05/best-and-fairest-live-stream

In past years I keenly watch this thread for updates from people that are there or watch the club twitter feed.

Will enjoy seeing it live.

Great initiative by the club.  

Who do you think will take out the Bluey?

Oliver or Hibberd. No one else even comes close imo.

Should it be 2017 or have a missed something? Thanks for posting the link, it will be interesting to see how plastered Hibberd gets.

WOW!  You slept thru the 2018 season and missed the Dees 13th Premiership??

Thanks ET...getting ahead of myself! 

The option to edit the title isn't available so need to wait till the mods can fix.

Cheers

But Lucifer, will Jack be there ?

We should invite Jake Lever since the crows banned him from theirs..

Might be a bit embarrassing when he gets more votes than Oscar.

Not a good idea. We haven't done the deal with Adelaide yet we don't want to get them even more angry.

If they get too angry he just walks....i think?

The Crows can fire truck off

I heard Lever, Gaff and Tippett will be there with their + ones: BBO,  Special Robert and Enyaw. 

Hibberd, Oliver and Jetta and then daylight  for the rest.

I was going to take issue at that, then remembered that all of Jones, Hogan, Watts, Viney and Gawn copped injuries.

Garlett deserves a mention as not quite the other side of fresh air. Did well for a small forward in a depleted forward line. His terrific start (20 goals and 35 tackles in the first 8 rounds) was undercut a bit by his inconsistency later in the season.

Would be great to see Nev finally get some recognition for his amazing work.

Agree with the order, but am hoping for an Oliver win.

Watts to win the Bluey in an upset! 

Winner -    Clayton Oliver

Runner up -  Michael Hibberd

3rd -     Neville Jetta

4th -    Tom McDonald

5th -    Jordan Lewis

Hey Petrac 

Do you think that Clayton looks like or bit like the Great Norm Smith ? He might be our future coach.    Don't shoot me down just saying.

Tmac had a really solid year. Gave his all in some somewhat unfamiliar roles. Deserves whatever he gets. 

Im gonna be there, anyone else going?

Would love a report from people inside the room on a few matters. 

What the vibe is like in the room in particular with all this business around Watts

How Watts is tonight 

also are the players still hurting after stuffing up r23

How Hogan is after everything he's been through this year

Amazingly, the MFC website has finally got with the times and is streaming the count live.

Well done to whoever is behind this.
