Tips for the 2021 MFC Best & Fairest tonight?

[Supreme_Demon 3,749]

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?

Oliver by the length of the straight

Petracca to shade Gawn followed by Salem, Lever and May

[Bitter but optimistic 22,218]

The 'Demonland Player of the Year ' usually gets it right. The Oliver Petracca quiinella should be a dead set, ring a ding, shoo in!

[whatwhat say what 22,696]

best guess is probably the same as everyone else's:

1. oliver
2. petracca
3. gawn
4. lever
5. salem

[DubDee 25,664]

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

[DistrACTION Jackson 8,637]

I'm tipping the following for top 5:

1. Clayton Oliver

2. Jake Lever

3. Christian Petracca

4. Max Gawn

5. Steven May

[Billy 2,521]

Clarry easily

if he doesn’t win he might go to Carlton 

[Hopeful Demon 1,517]

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. 

[Dante 2,739]

Three way tie, Clarry Tracc Gawny 

Salem next and then take your pick

[Gawndy the Great 9,011]

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.

1. Oliver

2. Petracca

3. Lever

4. Gawn

5. Salem

6. May

7. Langdon

8. Fritsch

9. Brayshaw

10. Jackson

Viney unlucky

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

[Wrecker46 2,963]

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.

[Smokey 4,388]

1. Oliver
2. Petracca

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.

Anyone trying to watch the live stream? Just music now.
