On MFC website....

Aaron Davey.... mark of the year

Lynden Dunn.... AFL Army award

We might not win the flag this year ( maybe wooden spoon !!!) but we do have some contenders for mark of the year/ goal of the year/ AFL army award and NAB rising star

VOTE NOW :wub:

 

well i voted for Dunn, even though i think the Army award is a crock of BS... it's just advertising...

 

What's the Army award for again?

2 things

i already started this topic , but it got moved into the davey hanger thread :wacko:

Do the people who selected Dunn this week realise that Foley got a handball away whilst being tackled and Richmond goaled???

Do u realise foley is very fast and dunn came from behind mclean who was chasing foley and still manged to tackle him....

the goal is irrelevant the effort isnt


My point is it wasn't an effective tackle. How many times a game do you reckon players would have put in a long and hard chase over the weekends games? Should they all receive a nomination even though the didn't manage to lay an effective tackle.

I am not having a go at Dunn, because it was a super effort to run past Brock and chase him down, but if it didn't actually achieve anything, then it is no different to any other hard run a chase a player puts in.

Courage and determination, I think. Perhaps somehing about teamwork.

All the positive qualities the Army likes to think they possess :)

The award is set up and delivered on an army recruitment site.

Being cannon fodder isn't about winning or losing, it's about putting in the effort no matter the outcome, even if you know you will fail.

Given Australia's history of valiant but doomed military adventures, it's appropriate that Dunn should not only be nominated, but win this week.

I would be interested to know if the Army Award habitually posits 2 winners and 1 'valiant but doomed' effort as nominees for the Award.

  • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
