    More than anything I am interested in what Dean Bailey says

    And perhaps any hints as to whether Robbo is being traded, or anyone else for that matter

    According to Fox Sports News, James McDonald won the B & F on 260, ahead of Nathan Jones (190) and Matthew Bate (176). I find it staggering that McDonald won by such a large margin. I thought Jones is stiff to miss out on winning it actually. Petterd won best first year player, Newton most improved.

    LOL what?

    How can it be over at 8:15?

    Interesting but not surprising, good to see Jones and Bate in the top 3.

    its not true

    There is no way the count can be over this early

    I know. I was quite surprised to see it too. Go to Fox Sports Active if you've got Foxtel. Lynden Dunn won the Best Clubman award and Brad Green the Best Team Player.

    Staggering.

    Probably no one turned up except the players, and the just handed out the trophies...

    That would top off a brilliant day, wouldn't it.

    Dunno about that

    Bater was great

    White just went

    Jones = best player in 2007

    How can Junior be so far ahead of Jones?

    And Bater 3rd?

    I guess the voting would have been all over the place, with Neale leaving half way through the season and all.

    Well done to Junior though. 2 times B&F winner!

    I think you'll find that I actually picked Bate for a top 5 finish a while back. I thought he had a terrific 10 weeks (beginning with the first Port Adelaide game) and there weren't too many others worthy of getting votes.

    If Matthew Bate has come 3rd then it's just about the biggest joke of the year

    Strange these results came out before the event had even concluded.

    My most recent update from my mate there was Petterd best first year player and Bruce leading after round 10. I received that after seeing all the results on here.

    thats not all true (because everyone else hardly played 15 games) mcdonald, jones and bate played most of the games.

    I think we should wait for something official, like an article to appear on the website saying "because our facilities are not good enough, we decided to scrap the B&F, but we are honoured that 44 players wanted to play for our club in 2007" :rolleyes:;)

    Now now !

    LOL now the facilities at my house are sufficient (I believe) and I have just checked and under the Fox Sports news there is breaking news with all the results that are mentioned on this site. Also Brad Green came 4th with 170

    Good on you Junior.

    Couldn't think of a more deserving winner (except for maybe Jones!) and a more perfect replacement for Neitz, if need be.

    Couldn't disagree more. McDonald was better than Chunk this year, a lot better. Not saying Jones was bad definitely top 2 or 3 but Junior would be the most deserving winner.

    These smack of bogus results - I'd expect Doggy to poll highly.

    msg from the event. Jmac from Jones, Bate, Green and Davey.

    Bate and Davey polled a little better then i expected. I would have thought White and Brown may have been in the top 5.

    Well done Junior! He is the first player since Stynes to win consecutive best and fairests. Always thought it would be a McDonald/Jones quinella, but a little surprised to see Davey so high.

    Bate deserved 3rd spot

    Look at some of his games this year

    Round 4 - 19 disposals, 6 marks, 1 goal

    Round 6 - 24 disposals, 10 marks, 2 goals

    Round 7 - 19 disposals, 5 marks,1 goal

    Round 10 - 16 disposals, 7 marks, 2 goals

    Round 11 - 18 disposals, 10 marks, 2 goals

    Round 12 - 20 disposals, 7 marks, 1 goals

    Round 13 - 17 disposals, 3 marks, 1 goal

    Round 14 - 19 disposals, 7 marks, 3 goals

    Round 15 - 21 disposals, 5 marks

    Round 17 - 12 dosposals, 6 marks, 2 goals

    Round 22 - 18 disposals, 7 marks, 2 goals

    Now before you say stats arent everything, this bloke isnt playing as loose man across half back a la Joel Bowden.

    He was a 19 year old kid thrown into the cauldron and asked to play as roaming CHF.

    You hear the media crap on about Travis Cloke, but the fact is Matthew Bate has him and most other kids his age covered.

    Congrats to Junior. I am a little surprised that Jones didnt win it, but McDonald had a solid year. A testament to his character to win 2 in a row.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?
