Could Nathan Jones win the Best and Fairest this year?

[dazzledavey36 54,121]

well could he?? has just been brilliant all year and could surprise the Bluey. he would be top 3 for sure

[Jaded No More 68,855]

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.

Yeah, by far !!!! :rolleyes: Will be there to watch him collect it.

[IvanBartul13 2,564]

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

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

He could easily win.

He has been one of the most consistent performers this year.

[Gouga 566]

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

[dees_rule_4eva 22]

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?

[Gorgoroth 12,911]

he can but wont, wont do that well in brownlow either.

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

i just love him, he is our future it would be great for him to win the bluey!!!!

[Yze_Magic 3]

Newton should be given the Bluey

[Jaded No More 68,855]

Newton should be given the Bluey

Are you cheating on Sylvia?

[Yze_Magic 3]

Maybe

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.

[Dee*ceiving 1,673]

Junior will be hard to beat for mine. Most consistent player IMO

[CHAMP 347]

Will they give him a rising star nomination?

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.

[Dees Win 1]

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

[whats_crackin 0]

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.

[Gorgoroth 12,911]

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.

[QueenC 74]

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.

[Guest redandbluethruandthru]

Jones has it in the bag

He missed the Sydney game in round 5.

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

[dees_rule_4eva 22]

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?
