Prediction Best and Fairest, 2021

[Gysberts2Bate]

Saw that the Dogs had theirs tonight. Does anyone know when ours is?

Anyway, I thought it could be a bit of harmless fun to predict top 10s and other awards. For the record the best youngplayer award doesn’t have an eligibility criterion anymore (ie first year players) but from what I can see it hasn’t been won by the same player twice so make of that what you will).

Watch live on Friday night: 2021 AFL Best & Fairest

Tune into the live stream of the 2021 AFL Best & Fairest this Friday from 7pm (AEDT)

www.melbournefc.com.au

Tonight from 7pm. Event will be streamed on the club website/app.

Quite looking forward to this actually. Oliver would have to be the favourite but I do think surprise results are more common in the club Best and Fairests due to the internal value placed on role players etc.

 

[Scythe]

At least this year's B&F is after the trade period, so if Oliver doesn't win, he can't request a trade to Carlton again

The 35 minutes of background music and no live stream have been enthralling.

That being said, we won the flag lol who cares

 

[Theseventhhamster]

It's actually on now

Freed from desire highlights montage. Hahahaha

Playing Freed from Desire in the intro is ****ing A+ hahahaha

DISRESPECTFULLLLLLLL

 

[Crusty Demon]

Playing Freed from Desire in the intro is ******* A+ hahahaha

Absolute gold. Just taking the absolute pi$$ out of Western now!

 

[KickLongTackleHard]

Very well done to deliver Neale’s speech. The Rev, what a human.

 

[Crusty Demon]

Yep. Fantastic speech from Neita! Superb recognition of an amazing human in Neale! Quite remarkable a Daniher is a hall of famer with the Dees! So glad he was able to see us finally win one.

 

[TheDarkDwarf]

Congratulations to Clayton, a very deserving winner in OUR premiership year, I watched Robbie Flower play for years and thought I would never see a better player than him for this Club, if Clayton can continue to improve, (and I seriously think there is improvement in him) he will realistically be able to lay claim to our very best modern day footballer.

 

[Crazy Vaclav]

Three time club best and fairest winner at age 24. Ridiculous. What a star.
