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:-

    Melbourne McLean Brown White Wheatley Davey Sylvia

    65. Cameron Bruce

    63. Aaron Davey

    62. Colin Sylvia Jeff White

    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.

    $100 says Jones and Sylvia arent in the B+F top 3!!! If I'm a joke, take the bet

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

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
