Club awards for 2008

[RickyBobby 0]

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

[Kiss of Death 708]

One person i'm really looking forwards to watching is Jack Grimes. I'll put him down for best first-year. Just have to get that back into shape and we're away!

[furious d 447]

B&F- Brock

Team Player- Nugget

Clubman- A much improved Brad Miller (fingers crossed)

Most Improved- Col Sylvia

Most Consistent- Jared Rivers

First Year Player- John Meeson

Leading Goalkicker- Neita

Sandy Votes- PJ

It's more of a wish list than crystal ball gazing.

[Roger Mellie 3,593]

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)

A lot of dreaming in there too

[Doggo 32]

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.

[mo64 5,240]

MFC Best and Fairest: Green

MFC best team player: Jones

MFC best clubman: Jeff White

MFC Best First Year player: Meeson

MFC Leading Goalkicker: Neitz

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

[two sheds jackson 3]

Dont want to make predictions at this stage, but I hope it'll look something like this, as we should be in for a great year if it does:

MFC Best and Fairest:

1. Brock McLean

2. Jared Rivers

3. David Neitz

4. Colin Sylvia

5. Matthew Bate

MFC best team player: James McDonald

MFC best clubman: Brad Green

MFC most improved: Chris Johnson

MFC Most Consistent: Jared Rivers

MFC Best First Year player: John Meeson

MFC Leading Goalkicker(s):

1. David Neitz

2. Michael Newton

3. Aaron Davey

4. Russell Robertson

5. Matthew Bate

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

[Demons 32 235]

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!!!

[Bay Riffin 1,426]

MFC Best and Fairest: Nathan Jones - will lift his game once more

MFC best team player: Daniell Bell will once again do whatever is asked of him and do it well

MFC best clubman: Adam Yze - will be a nice touch for all his service over the years, then they will sack him

MFC most improved: Jace Bode - guess really

MFC Most Consistent: Jared Rivers

MFC Best First Year player: Jack Grimes

MFC Leading Goalkicker: Russell Robertson

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