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.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
