We are six rounds, I was wondering who would be leading the Best and Fairest count ?

I dont think anyone stands out, All have had good and bad games. I think Cam the Bruce would be leading and champion data stats back that up.

Any Suggestions ?

i reckon guys like dogga and bell for effort would be close, have been pretty consistent, always work hard. though the blokes who get 25 touches a game obviously end up with the votes. wouldnt surprise me if petterd features pretty well come round 22.

Belly!

If the FD values hard work, and looks at the amount of pressure our backline has been under, Bell will be leading, or at least top 2. Is yet to have a bad game, and is probably the only one who can lay claim to that this year.

Bruce and Moloney will be up there too.

Come the end of the year though, I hope Rivers is up in the top 3. The kid is an absolute defensive genius.

You are most likely correct, which, with injuries, explains why we are 0-6.

Bell would be leading methinks, with Moloney not far behind. Bell hasnt had a bad game yet, and has beaten all of his opponents convincingly. Noone else in our side can say that this year. Whenever someone has been kicking bags on us, Bell has been switched onto them and shut them down. Go watch the match against Hawthorn. Williams kicks 4 on Carroll. Bell switches onto him. Holds him to only one more goal (from a soft free kick I might add), and then Williams kicked another as Bell came from the field after a heavy collision and left him without an opponent. Add the drive he gives also to his great defensive work, and you've got a good reliable backman. The guy has improved his decision making, is free of OP finally, and really is having a great season.

Moloney has also been consistently performing well in the midfield, even hampered with injury. It's sad to see him struggling to run out games. Was bad in the last quarter yesterday, he went to chase someone on the wing and just couldn't take off like he should. You could see the pain on his face that the groin was really hurting and holding him back, and also the pain of being beaten. The guy is passionate and hates being beaten. He bleeds Red n Blue. If he ever gets free of his OP, I reckon he will become a really good player and surprise alot of people.

Bruce would have been the most consistant but we have had no stand outs so the B&F could be anyone's. Williams kicked 4 on Whelan. Carrol played on Boyle. Bell's game against the Saints was very ordinary but he has been a lot better since still makes too many mistakes but he is improving and that's the main thing I wouldn't say he would be leading he hasn't been that good. Miller shouldn't be in the side let alone leading the B&F.

Chopper Caroll has been pretty good down back guys. He had a few hicups against the hawks, but has been pretty good most weeks. Considering he has stuff all games behind him, he is standing up as a senior player. If he continues to improve like he has, he will be a chance for B and F

Hats off to the bell fans. He has been fantastic in defence this year. He would be in the mix, just needs to keep up his strong efforts.

Godders would be in the mix!

I'd expect that White, Mcdonald, Jones, Godfrey, Miller, Carroll, Moloney, Green

i actually watched rivers a bit this week and it was very interesting to se him read the play, he would follow his man on the lead but he would watch the player with the ball and change his direction based on where the kick was going...ie he would peel off his man to be 3rd man up before the other player had put boot to ball. you think this might be dangerous but it doesnt seem to be a problem for him...

Cam Bruce @ this point of the season - Shame he cant kick to save himself.

& Yze despite his strange start to 2007 has been very handy in a couple of games.

But JARED RIVERS will make his move from here on in. The kid is class

A shame Sylvia still hasn't put his best foot forward.

Am I the only one wondering if he will ever arrive?????????????????????

Bruce cant kick but majority has said he will be top of our best and fairest? How is that possible if he cant kick? Rivers is all class but a backman will never be best and fairest for Melbourne we focus more on midfield

In todays game we are seeing backmen become playmakers more and more...

IMO Rivers would have to be up there along with Bruce and J-Mac.

Jones and Godfrey would have to be two of our most consistent performers of the season, but I doubt they've attracted huge votes thus far. Godders' last two blanketing performances have been sensational.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die!

It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level.

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.
