  • Demonland changed the title to 2020 Keith "Bluey" Truscott Trophy

Think you got the top 6 right. The order of the top 3 could change: ie. while petracca may be the media favourite, either Oliver or May could win. 

 

Probably just me but I find B and F awards in a failure year of little interest. It is probably a big deal for the players but as a supporter it is like celebrating mediocrity for me. Whoever wins it is no doubt a good player in the scheme of things, just does not work for me. 

I’m not calling it a failure year at all. 2019 was a complete failure.  2020 showed what we can deliver but it should be remembered as an inconsistent and crazy year. Hard to gauge and I still believe we got shafted by the fixture. 
 

Nonetheless the top 6 are daylight our best for the year. I’d love to see Trac win it and agree Langdon is a smoky.  Steven May could surprise as his efforts and strength in every game should be rewarded by the coaches.  


May, Langdon or Petracca  they have played every game and performed outstandingly. Second to none Professional - like.  

No disrespect to Oliver he has had a consistent year.  Imo Christian Petracca has had a standout year and gave us what we  expect of him.    I think he will receive the Bluey Truscott ....... S MAY and Langdon  will be close behind.

If Christian claims the B&F it will be interesting to hear his speech.

 

Best first year player will be interesting.  Jackson started strong, Pickett had a good Middle and Rivers finished strong.  Think Rivers should get this, his last 4-6 games have been outstanding

BNF

Petracca

May

Langdon

Gawn

Oliver

 

 

New players to clubs often do well as the heirarchy likes to congratulate themselves on their astute recruiting

May and Langdon to do very well.

Petraccas score involvements will rate highly as will his flexibility around the ground.

Gawn, Oliver and Viney should also rate highly

Salem late was good but wasn't consistent.

Be very surprised if the top 5 came from outside this lot.

 

I'll go 

Petracca

May

Langdon

Gawn

Oliver

Viney

 

Here's my predicted top 10. Gawn would have been higher but missing games really costs you in Melbourne's B+F system

1.           Petracca

2.           May

3.           Oliver

4.           Gawn

5.           Langdon

6.           Viney

7.           Salem

8.           Lever

9.           Hibberd

10.         Fritsch


Ive got utube on tv waiting to go. I ussually go every year so this is different. My top 5 in order are.

Petracca. May. Oliver. Gawn. Langdon

I assume he is in Melbourne. Not all teams get Eddie special treatment.

Yes He is in Melbourne, Looked like the MCG Gents room


Congratulations to May for winning the JMac Award.  Very much deserved.

But the applause was almost non-existent...is there anyone in the room?

You can tell Bartlett’s livid about missing finals. Probably mentioned it about 6 times in his speech.

Good. I am also [censored] off

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
