Goalkicking Title

Amidst the carnage, Melbourne's first 2008 award-winner has been decided today. Brad Miller has taken home the Dees' goalkicking award, with a grand total of 26 for the year. Despite missiing half a season, Robbo only finished a bag off the pace. Congrats to Brad, but the total gives a fair indicator of the struggle of the side to kick any sort of score at all this year.

    Good effort. Stepped up this year and was consistent.

    26 was our leading goalkicker? Joking, right?

    I'm afraid not. Austin finished second on 24. Quite sad.

    Not coincidentally, this is the first time since 1995 that someone other than Neitz, Robertson or Farmer won Melbourne's goalkicking.

    Wow, that's a stat!

    When a club only kicks around 250 goals from 22 games, it makes sense that the leading goalkicker will only have around 25-30 goals. Especially when we haven't had anyone kicking bags! Congratulations to Brad, He stood up in an undermanned forward line and has shown enough IMO that he could step up next year with a few more consistent performers supporting him!

    Goodbye Season 2008...!

    It's the lowest winning tally since Ross Brewer's 26 in 1977. Before that Barrie Vagg won with 20 in 1966.

    The Club Goalkicking has only been won with 26 or less only some twenty times (and only five times since 1919).

    On the bright side it's twice as many as Mick Macguire's 13 which won in 1913.

    In 1913, 13 goals would have been a good effort.

    With the way Buddy F is going, 120 will be the new season target.

    Ahhhhhh Ross Brewer. We could do with him at the mo.

    Glad to see Brad step up a bit this year. Hope he can take it to an even higher level next year.

    Not really, Dr Roy Park (University) won the "Coleman" that year with 56, not a bad tally in a pretty crook side.

    I'm quite suprised by that figure. I stand totally corrected.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
