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'm tipping the following for top 5:

1. Clayton Oliver

2. Jake Lever

3. Christian Petracca

4. Max Gawn

5. Steven May

 

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. 

Three way tie, Clarry Tracc Gawny 

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.

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?

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.

1. Oliver

2. May

3. Petracca

4. Gawn

5. Lever

6. Fritsch


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: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
