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.

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?

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

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 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.

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?

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
