Goalkicking Title

Featured Replies

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.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.
