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

    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.

    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.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
