    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.

    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:;)

    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.

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • VOTES: Richmond

      Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
