Despite missing all but the first six games of the season with a foot injury, Jack Grimes was given the MFC leadership award which highlights the esteem in which he is held at the club. I think I speak for all Demon supporters when I express the hope that it’s all plain sailing and full fitness from now on for the young Demon. Games MFC 2011 6 MFC Total 32 Goals MFC 2011 1 Total 3

Came on as substitute in the final quarter of the opening round and starred but had a quiet patch and spent some time in the VFL before returning to play some productive football.

Dunn's season was mixed between some good performances and others that weren't up to scratch so he spent some time going up and down between the Demons and the Scorpions.

Melbourne's tackling machine missed several early season games because of groin problems, but made up for the late start with some fine performances once he was back in the team. Despite the late start, McKenzie finished in the club's top three for both handballs and tackles.

Sylvia is a sublime but slightly erratic talent who, for one reason or another has never gotten the best out of himself in his time at the club. That is not to say that he is not one of the team's better players (he finished 10th in the best and fairest) but, as Brent Moloney pointed out in Bluey night, he should be aiming for the top.

In his fourth season Morton, who came to the club as a high first round draft selection, disappointed with poor form and low confidence, struggling to find his place in the side. He is still highly regarded and is expected to improve under the coaching of Mark Neeld and his assistants.

The talented midfielder showed great maturity and improvement in his second season. Missed three games in controversial circumstances after being cited for his tackle on Adelaide's Dangerfield. The future leader demonstrated his loyalty to the club late in the season by extending his contract till the end of 2015.

Frawley suffered a major setback when he tore a pectoral muscle during pre season training but recovered in time to make his return in Round 2 against Hawthorn and played in every match after that game. While he failed to emulate his All Australian form of 2011, the key defender was still a tower of strength in the backline, finished third in the Keith "Bluey" Truscott voting and continued to grow in stature as one of the game's emerging young defenders.

Big things were predicted for Bennell after he completed a strong preseason but his form in 2011 was patchy. He was tried with moderate success in defence and up forward but failed to string together many successive good games.

Fell out of favour with the selectors early in the season and, after dominating in the VFL, came back for a couple of productive games for the Demons at the end in more of a midfield role. At the Scorpions, Bate was runner up in the best and fairest and voted MVP. He also came second in the JJ Liston Trophy behind former Demon Shane Valenti.

The 2008 # 1 draft pick stepped up again in 2011 as he grew in confidence and strength, securing his first top ten best and fairest finish with the club. In what was still a development year for the youngster, Watts played every game and was tried in various roles around the ground and this should hold him in good stead for the future. With another pre season behind him, he will bulk up further and continue to make rapid progress towards becoming an elite AFL key position player.

Hard at the ball midfield tagger and defender who had another consistent season. Was again given some big run with roles and took a few scalps in a role that often goes unnoticed. Unfortunately, his disposal by foot often lets him and the team down. Games MFC 2011 15 MFC Total 95 Goals MFC 2011 2 MFC Total 16 Games CSFC 2011 3 Goals CSFC 2011 2

In his sixth year of senior AFL football, the Demon tall defender found himself well down the pecking order in a defence that contained the likes of Frawley, Garland, Rivers and Joel Macdonald and was shunned by selectors after the team's Round 10 loss to Carlton. Starred at full back in the VFL but it wasn't enough for a recall and he requested a trade at the end of the season.
