MELBOURNE vice-captain Brent Moloney has capped off an outstanding season by taking home his first Keith 'Bluey' Truscott Memorial Trophy on Friday night at Crown Casino.

The hard-working midfielder, who finished second in 2009, claimed the best and fairest award with 227 votes.

He finished ahead of defenders Jared Rivers (201) and James Frawley (178).

Rounding out the top five were midfielders Nathan Jones (171) and Jack Trengove (170).

Moloney, 27, amassed 509 disposals in 2011 - 23.14 per match, the best by any Melbourne player - and was the club's standout performer.

Moloney, who has endured his share of injuries in his 130-game AFL career, played all 22 matches in 2011 - the first time he has played every match in a season.

After playing 23 matches with Geelong in 2003-04, Moloney was traded to Melbourne and has since played 107 matches.

For Rivers, who won the Sid Anderson Memorial Trophy, it was his highest finish to date in a Melbourne best and fairest, and the first time he has claimed a top-three placing.

And after finishing second last year, Frawley backed up with another fine season, claiming the Ron Barassi Snr Memorial Trophy for third.

Jones, who received the Ivor Warne-Smith Memorial Trophy for fourth place, achieved his highest result since coming runner-up in 2007.

And, in just his second AFL season, youngster Jack Trengove claimed the Dick Taylor Memorial Trophy for coming fifth.

Meanwhile, Jordie McKenzie claimed two trophies - the Norm Smith Memorial Trophy (coach's award) and the Heart and Soul Player Award.

Jack Grimes was presented with the Ron Barassi Jnr Trophy (leadership award), Colin Garland received the Ian Ridley Memorial Trophy (club ambassador award) and Jeremy Howe was awarded the Harold Ball Memorial Trophy (best first year player).

And the Troy Broadbridge Memorial Trophy (highest votegetter by Melbourne-listed player in the Casey Scorpions' best and fairest) was won by Matthew Bate.
