    • 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

    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

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
