It is next Monday night.  Will be telecast live on website and app.

The club/AFL scribe has listed a number of players in contention the-best-and-fairest-contenders

  • Gawn
  • Brayshaw
  • Fritsch
  • Frost
  • Harmes
  • Hunt
  • Oliver
  • Petracca
  • Salem
  • Viney.

As votes are given per game, those that played the most games have the best chance of polling well which may explain some surprise names in the list and some notable omissions.

My tips for top 3:

  • Gawn by a country mile
  • Oliver
  • Petracca

Could easily have picked Viney or Salem for 3rd.

    Harmes won't win it as of course Gawny is hot as and Oliver is his bridesmaid ha ha. However i can honestly say that the last couple of years  Harmes has been the most  ultra consistent  and a  valuable player and deserves to finish in the top 3 best players.

    He is a dark horse  but  Gawny has been extraordinary.

    It says a lot about our year when one of the nominated players in contention for the b&f was dropped at the end of the season despite a massive injury list.

    Said player also did his best work in the forward line, got moved to the backline and got dropped 2 games later.

    i’m over 2019 let Toby Green scratch the eyes out of Richmond. Mumford to go out swinging, not worried about drug testing in his last game and bring on 2020.

    I thought it was quite a poor group of players overall but they are the few that played nearly every game.

    Its a bit of an indictment on the voting system that rewards number of games played.  No game, no votes.  So some of our better players aren't 'eligible'.

    If anyone is going the occasional update would be handy, or a bit of gos would be welcome!

    News of new club base location/progress.?

    Jaguar signing up for next year(s).?

    Outcomes from the presentation to the AFL Commission a few weeks ago.

    News of replacements for T. Viney, Jennings, Rawlings etc.  We wouldn't want to fall behind other clubs looking for similar staff.

    A friend of a friend (so don’t shoot me) says the count will be close, as close as you can get! Original source was a journalist so who can you trust
    for me it is Gawn and Oliver.

    The Chief, 99 and the 2 junior agents are all attending tonight’s B&F.  Last year was a great celebration, on reflection maybe a bit too much self congratulation. Expect that attending tonight’s will be a bit like shooting myself in the shoephone.

    There wasn't that much daylight between Big M & Clarry but agree on the second part DD.

    A touch of ruthlessness was behind it. It must be adhered 

    It is a brutal competition and we have to start punching when threatened...

    Nice work 'Lenny" or should I say "Barry"  

    You are still by far the 'hardest man' on here.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
