Well we're slowly creeping into the time when footy is back and conversation is starting to pick up on Demonland again :)

For a bit of fun thought it would be timely to get people's thoughts/tips on who they think will be the recipients of the key awards for 2008... I know it's early to make a call but for the sake of passing some time I've had a crack at who I think below.

MFC Best and Fairest: Brock McLean

MFC best team player: Nathan Jones

MFC best clubman: Daniel Bell

MFC most improved: Simon Buckley

MFC Most Consistent: Brock McLean

MFC Best First Year player: Addam Maric

MFC Leading Goalkicker: Russell Robertson

Most votes in Sandringham’s best and fairest by a Melbourne player: Chris Johnson

What the hell:

B & F: Jones (would like to say McLean but am suspect about his injury propensity and ability to shake a tag)

Team Player: Yze (a reinvention and in keeping with the leadership gig)

Clubman: Holland (exits on a high note)

Most improved: Dunne

Most Consistent: Sylvia

Best First Year Player: Meeson or Grimes

Goals: Nietz (injury free and flying)

Sandy Votes: Martin/Valenti

Here's a few from left-field... Will be interesting to see how these predictions stack up circa September 2008. Here's hoping anyway..

MFC Best and Fairest: Brent Moloney (if he can get himself right !! )

MFC best team player: Jared Rivers (top 5 b&f placing and All-Australian CHB, but like Moloney, only if he can get himself right!)

MFC best clubman: Jace Bode (will make a name for himself in the BP position left vacant by Brown/Ward)

MFC most improved: Paul Johnson or Simon Buckley (one of these guys, if not both, should/will have a big year)

MFC Most Consistent: Nathan Jones (to go with a runners-up trophy in the B&F)

MFC Best First Year player: Jack Grimes (plus a top-3 placing in Rising Star Award)

MFC Leading Goalkicker(s): Russell Robertson and Juice Newton (54 goals each to be specific)

Most votes in Sandringham's best and fairest by a Melbourne player: Shane Valenti or Aussie Woneamirri

In all honesty tho, i dont expect most of these things to happen... Like others have said, its very much a wish list more than anything.

Are you eligible for Best First Year player if you've played senior AFL games at another club?

MFC Best and Fairest: Cameron Bruce (will step up and be the player he was pre Guerra)

MFC best team player: James Mcdonald (Jmac won't get a third Bluey but will still be a great team player and on-field leader)

MFC best clubman: Brad Green (will prove why he should have been in the leadership group in my opinion)

MFC most improved: Simon Buckley (I think he will take huge steps and become the player ive always known he could be)

MFC Most Consistent: Nathan Jones (will slug it out the way he always does, every single week)

MFC Best First Year player: Jack Grimes or Woneamirri (I see Grimey, while being a high pick doing a Petterd, Bartram and Jones and practiculary cemented his spot for the future first year. Also I think Woneamirri will break onto scene and play alot of seniors straight up, much like Davey)

MFC Leading Goalkicker: David Neitz (maybe wishful thinking to go against Robbo but im confident big Neita will be fit and firing in our 150th year, Captain Neita, what a champion)

Most votes in Sandringham’s best and fairest by a Melbourne player: Valenti should play alot of games for Sandy and we all know how well he already blends with the VFL style and the Zebras)

CAN'T WAIT, LETS GO THE MFC!!!

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
