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.

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

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

    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

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo.
