    • 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

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
