    Yes he can, and he's almost a certainty to finish in the top 3.

    Reward for effort if nothing else.

    He is on the bottom of every pack, every contest, every week.

    He was our best player today but hasnt got a hope in Hades of winning the Best and Fairest - White and McDonald would be streets ahead of him

    He would def attract the attention of umpires. Could be a good bet for most Brownlow votes for the club.

    Correct on all fronts. Will definitely be a massive chance for the Bluey, though perhaps Bruce may have him covered. As for most Melbourne votes in the Brownlow, I tend to agree.

    Will they give him a rising star nomination?

    agree, no-one will do any good in the Brownlow, the B&F is a raffle

    Why would White and Junior be "streets ahead" ????? Whitey in particular has hardly dominated in the ruck! Junior has also had a quiet year compared with 2006 ( but who hasnt!).

    From an internal viewpoint Godders is one of MFCs best players in 2007 as he has done the tagging jobs very effcetively morst weeks (although well beaten last night) and he one of the few MFC players who runs hard all game ( lst night and esp against the Tiggers).

    Very few have performed all year and Jonesey is right up there - hard at it an has been effective!! One of MFC's few winners in 2007. So has very chance.

    It will be a (further) travesty if he doesn't get the nod this week. Only 5 players scored higher Champion Data points this round.

    I can't see anyone beating him - certainly he deserves it for effort. Pity he doesn't have any mates helping him out.

    i know a lot of you are going to laugh, however i think godfrey is in with a chance.

    Until this week, he has been our most consistant, and has got the majority of his jobs done. I'm not a massive godfrey fan, respect his heart and work ethic, but that would sum up our season if he won it.

    Godfrey being a chance is why we are 2nd bottom.

    When a player of the skills of Godfrey wins your B&F you SHOULD throw out the baby with the bath water.

  • Quote

    Of course Jones can win the B&F and he may well do so.......

    Is it right to say he is one of the few who have actually played every game this year? I have lost count but if so then he is already ahead of the rest.

    So that, plus his fantastic attitude and effort, and consistently good form, yep he will be right up there when the votes are read out.

    And if he wins then it will be a fantastic and well deserved victory :D !!!

    Correct! The only other season Godfrey had a top 5 finish was 2003 when we qualified for a priority pick. Looks like history repeating! I don't mind him but he needs to be somewhere between our 18th and 24th best player not top 5 - which I'm sure he will be this year.

    He missed the Sydney game in round 5.

    I think Carroll, White and McDonald are the only blokes to play every game this year.

    Just on a possible Rising Star nomination for Jones, is he even eligible? He won a nomination last year against the Kangaroos, so does that cancel him out?

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
