Keith “Bluey” Truscott Trophy 2019

[Ethan Tremblay 30,962]

IMO Harmes was easily ahead of Viney.

[Moonshadow 17,677]

Many empty seats on the coaches table?

[Cheap Seats 3,310]

Maxy oozes leadership.

So was May & he only played a few games...

[Dame Gaga 2,453]

Max speaks well. No ums and hesitations, unlike some others. 

[Demonland 73,137]

[Older demon 2,779]

Frosty in the top 10 surely they will offer him a contract!!!

 

[At Least I Saw a Flag 5,272]

Viney finishing 3rd was unbelievable. Bring in the auditors.

I was surprised that Salem didn't finish higher than seventh.

And surprised that Hunt finished top 10. 

[Older demon 2,779]

Gee Max & Clarry way in front of everyone. Pleased Fritta finished of so well (when he went forward)

[YesitwasaWin4theAges 6,708]

Give the big fella the Captaincy.

The issue is how much he and his manager are asking. It’s not that we haven’t or don’t want to offer him one.

The club did offer him a contract. But not for an amount that he deemed sufficient. 

[McQueen 17,867]

What a fantastic speech by Max. A real leaders speech.

If he isn’t made Co Captain next year it will be the greatest farce ever.

[Longsufferingnomore 1,637]

And there I believe and hope is our next Captain. Even I'm feeling excited about next year. Who would have thought.

[goodwindees 2,537]

Shows you how bad we were when Jayden Hunt finishes top 10 with that rubbish he served up.

I hope they sack the whole FD...

Obviously haven't got a clue.

We're screwed...

An internal award and wouldn't be the first anomaly Rjay.  Oh well.  Thought Clarry was very close all year but wasn't expecting a tie as such.  Just a very close contest.  Something different anyways and well done to both.

Frosty should have finished TOP 5 IMO. 

However l could not see how Viney  did finish so high.  By far  not one of his best seasons.

Terrible, honestly [censored] terrible. Buckley and Hardwick were the same until they learned to loosen up and actually speak like an actual human. Goodwin won’t connect with the young players talking like that. 

He needs to connect with the younger generation like I do, throw in some ‘radicals’ and ‘groovy’s’ and refer to things as being ‘hip’. Then they’ll think he’s cool and he’ll get their attention. 

I was briefly just back in Oz for the first time in 5 years. I reckon he'll need way more Fs and Cs to get the attention of the younger generation.

[waynewussell 6,237]

The Viney haters just don't get it! They never will! Viney is rated so highly by those closest to him because of his LEADERSHIP!!!!!!

That's what worries me 'Rusty'...what games are they watching?

It can't have been this years.

Do they really have a clue?

He's rated by the coach, I'm not so sure by the players & he showed very little if any leadership on the ground this season...

[Sir Why You Little 37,120]

What a weird night. I thought Max would lap the whole field. 

I get the feeling the Club just wanted to get it over. Good thing to. 

Max must be Captain, I hope on his own..

 

2020....

[Demon Jack 6,930]

Fun fact.

This year's B&F is the first time since 2010 that Nathan Jones has finished outside of the top 5.

 

[waynewussell 6,237]

Puts it all on the line every time, never shirks an issue! Attack on the ball is second to none. Toughness in the clinches is as good as it gets. Never a sniper... always there for team mates! What blindness is this that has descended on Demonland? 

[nosoupforme 3,085]

O Captain ! my captain ! rise up and hear the bells

For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces  turning

Here Captain our true Captain   

Rise up Captain Max

To lead us into battle

Rise up for the Flag.

( With apologies to Walt Whitman )
