Tips for the 2021 MFC Best & Fairest tonight?

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.

    Salem next and then take your pick

    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.

    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)

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
