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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
