Who do you think is going to win the Keith "Bluey" Truscott Trophy tonight and be declared the winner of the 2021 Melbourne Demons Best & Fairest in a Premiership year?

I reckon it would have to be Clayton Oliver. That's my very confident tip. He was the most consistent player the whole year.

My top 5 is as follows...

1) Clayton Oliver

2) Christian Petracca

3) Max Gawn

4) Jake Lever

5) Christian Salem

Anyway, it should be an enjoyable evening as I think the Melbourne Football Club is live-streaming the event?

I reckon Max will take it out. He was used tactically each week and had the biggest influence on us winning games imo. Should be a cracking night!

1. Gawn

2. Oliver

3. Petracca

4. Lever

5. Salem

Fritsch a close 6th

Other tips

Best clubman/bravest (whatever it is called) - Gus Brayshaw

best first year - Bowey

I imagine that Oliver, Petracca, Lever, Gawn and May will be our top 5. Oliver should finish first based on consistency. 

I'm expecting Viney to finish in the top 10. He may have missed some games due to injury but he's rated very highly by the club.

Hard to see anybody take this away from Oliver.

1. Oliver

2. Trac

3. May

4. Salem

5. Gawn

Norm Smith Memorial Trophy (most consistent): Its a hard one, but probably Oliver takes this as well?

Ron Barassi Jnr Trophy (best leadership): Lever (assuming Gawn is not applicable as Captain?)

Harold Ball Memorial Trophy (best young talent): Hard to go past Bowey

Ian Ridley Memorial Trophy (community work) : Hard to know this one - presume Jetts still doing the good stuff.

James McDonald Trophy (Melbourne spirt): Going out on a limb here to say ANB as the ultimate role player who was able to turn back from the 'abyss of delistment' and forge himself as premier small forward.

Viney unlucky

Can't remember, do the finals series get included in the bnf or is it just the home and away season?

Oliver easily.

Petracca had more brilliant games but even in the GF Clarry took out Bont and let Truck star. Selfless.

In the talk with Barassi and Flower for greatest Demon of all time. Isn't yet but he still has a decade of football in him.

I'm not sure who I should choo-choo-choose as my preferred winner. 😉

But from 2 onwards, my finishing order is:

2) Tracc
3) Maximus Gawnius
4) Viney
5) Salem

The AFLCA must be a good indicator for the B&F considering Goody votes. Below is the number of games our players polled coaches votes in. Kozzie has not had much love in this thread, and TMAC polled in a relatively high percentage of games.

Oliver (17)

Tracc (15)

Max (12)

Salem (10)

Lever (9)

TMAC (9)

May (5)

Kozzie (5)

LJ (4)

Langdon (3)

Viney (3)

Yeah, T Mac’s first half of the season was miles better than his second.

He played some top shelf games against Freo, Richmond, Sydney and Carlton.

I reckon Gus might poll ok tonight. Definitely won’t go close to winning, but he played his role with aplomb this year, something the coaches no doubt would not forget when voting.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
