    • 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

    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

    • 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.
