    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:;)

    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.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
