Best and Fairest 2025

[azabob]

With Marcus Bontempelli delayed start to the year will he storm home and win his 7th B&F (3rd B&F in a row) or will someone else take out the award?

Can Ed Richards shake off his late pre-season injury and claim his first B&F?

Does Rory Lobb continue to stand up and dominate CHB and claim an unlikely B&F?

Does Sam Darcy, do what Sam Darcy does and takes him first (of many) B&Fs?

Does Aaron Naughton take ownership of the forward line and become the on field general with his manic attack?

Does Tom Liberatore take it all in his stride, loving the challenge of being our number one midfielder to start the season?

Or could it be someone else?

Who you got and why?

I still have the Bont as the winner but wouldn't be surprised if Ed or Darc win it.

Does Sam Davidson qualify for the Rising Star award? If so, I would consider him a safe bet for that.

He's too old.

Bailey Dale is a smokey not mentioned in the OP.

Equal 2nd with Treloar last year.

1. Bont
2. Richards
3. Freijah
4. Darcy
5. McNeil

Only half joking about #5...

Unfortunately Bont won’t win with his delayed start.

Im thinking:

1. Libba
2. Richards
3. Dale
4. Naughton
5. Lobb

The GOAT doesn't even get in the top 5? Look at how well Lobb polled last year. He missed games and definitely wasn't playing his best footy until the second half of the year.

Hopefully Bont does, but if he misses 4-5 rounds it’s a tough deficit to claw back, notwithstanding his voting potential.

Dale is a huge shot. He had a slow start to last year also.

Freijah is the huge unknown. Especially if they throw him into the midfield rotation.

I am hoping for our teams sake Naughton has a huge year and cracks the top 5.

I'm surprised you don't have Liberatore near the top of the leader board, he is kind of last man standing from a midfield perspective and I think he'd be craving this scenario.

Oscar Baker for the win?

[Rusty12]

Gold, well played

Im thinking:

1. Libba
2. Richards
3. Dale
4. Naughton
5. Lobb

If this top five comes off I think it is fair to say as a team we have had a pretty good year.
