You're definitely the first I've seen to have Sylvia in the best.

    I liked what I saw from him last night.

    Was he really better than McLean's 33 touches, 13 contested possessions and 8 clearances? :wacko:

    I was at the game on Saturday night and struggled to find 6 players worthy of votes. I have managed though, so here they are:

    6 - McLean

    5 - White

    4 - Davey

    3 - Jones

    2 - McDonald

    1 - Bate

    While Brown got a lot of the ball, he wasn't damaging. Bate had a poor first half, but his second half was excellent. Did a lot of 1%s and attacked the football hard. Was very impressed with him again.

    I'm also accepting Bananabender's votes as follows:-

    65. Cameron Bruce

    63. Aaron Davey

    sylvia was ordinary this award is completely rigged - Jones being on top is a joke

    How so?

    He's played almost every game, and has been consistent throughout the season.

    He'll finish top 3 in the real B&F.

    Because people play favourites and their votes are biased towards players that they like, usually young buzz players, for whatever reason.

    Jones has been pretty good but he's averaging 16 possessions a game and is an ordinary kick - hardly starring

    Jeff White, McDonald and Bruce should be whipping him in the votes

    and sylvias polling is vastly inflated as well

    I am the bigest fan of Sylvia, but no way does he deserve a vote for his game vs Brisbane

    He was ordinary

    Junior will win the Bluey by a mile, and I think Whitey will come 2nd

    As for the rst of the top 5, raffle it between Sylvia, Bruce, Jones, Bell and Bate

    Why is that? because they get 30 cheap possessions a game, or 40 hit-outs that don't go to advantage?

    Statistics should have absolutely nothing to do with the way we value a player. Not when half of the possessions are soft receives, or fluffed kicks, or hit-outs that don't actually help the side win clearances.

    Junior should, and will, finish top 3. His consistency, work-rate, hardness at the footy, and selflessness is the sort of stuff I hope our coaches look at when they award the votes. Not meaningless stats.

    Jones may only be averaging 16 possessions a game, but what about tackles? first possessions? clearances? And how about time spent on the ground? His possessions are influential, and his 'ordinary kick' puts Bruce's kicking skills to shame.

    There will always be some bias in the way people vote, but Jones' position is nothing shocking and he will finish very highly in the real B&F.

    No i think it is you who is the joke. Jones has been outstanding this season. His aggression and determination is inspring. a few of the more senior players should take a leaf from his book.

    I'll take that bet. One of them will be in the top 3 for sure.

    • 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.
