Life memberships should not be auctioned/sold. They should be earned/presented. Crap. :angry:

Very quick to anger there Mono.

I suspect they were putting lifetime memberships up for auction. As in the successful bidders do not have to pay for a membership for the rest of their lives. Not as in bieng made a life member of the Melbourne Football Club.

Bruce wins according to SEN 11pm news.

Can't say he would have got my votes.

It's so hard sometimes to be enthusiastic about this club and where it's going...

Very disappointing result for mine.

Who cares if anyone here would have given Bruce a vote? The reality is that Cameron is a great Melbourne story. How many of you watched him going around in the ressies when they played at Punt road? Bruce continues to defy the odds... He is worthy of support and admiration... yes even from the coulda-beens who frequent these boards.

There is six people that will not have to pay again for a membership. That's a minimum of $1,000 a year to the club, minimum. The one who paid $7,000 - thats equivalent to nearly 20 years worth of memberships.

Does the money from the life memberships go to Debt Demolition, Dee-tention?

Not sure where the money goes High Tower! I will find out more in the next few days. And Yes. Cam the Bruce win's!

Excellent result for Mathew Warnock and Cale Morton

Congratulations on Cameron Bruce winning the 2008 Best & Fairest for the Demons.

As harsh as it may sound it probably feels pretty hollow to win the MFC Best & Fairest in a year where the club finishes on the bottom of the ladder. :mellow:

I'm sure that Yze_Magic has gone completely insane on this news because it wasn't Brad Green. :wacko:

Who cares? Most of us here support the Melbourne Football Club as a whole not just particular players. :rolleyes:

:o Must of got up in the last two rounds, surely... must be extra votes for errant handballs...well done Brucey.

(Well done No.32) ;)

Fantastic to see Cale Morton getting 7th at 18 years old in his first year.

And ozzie 10th!

Pretty suprised about Warnock and Jones positions

He may be a great Melbourne story but he is not a great player. His kicking and his lack of intensity being his greatest weaknesses. I really hope that the rumours re his contract amount are not true but logic says they have some credence given we were paying 100% of the cap with Neita and Ooze on the veteran's list. If we are to challenge for a flag then we will need better quality best and fairest winners than Cam. Garland would have got my vote over Bruce, Wheatley played better.

Me - A could been? More a never-was. But at the age of 38 definitely a never-seen-his-team-win-a-flag.

I have to admit that the award feels somewhat hollow in these bad years, you don't really know who's going to win. Robertson won in 2003, and he was good, but hardly what you'd call a prolific forward.

When you've made the finals, it's been a genuine team effort, and there's competition between the players.

This year, there was Green and Bruce, who were solid, but that's all you can really say.

Who votes for the B&F?

If it's the coaches then I'm worried because that list is out of whack IMO.

I agree Biz.

STill scratching my head on the above...

Posted

Another nod to medicority :huh:

Well lets hope that list reads differently in a few years !! <_<

God who votes for the Bluey

Given Bluey was reknown for his accuracy of disposal...Somewhat ironic surely that the guy who won it cant hit the side of a barn!!

Interestingly, Cameron Bruce was named best in Herald Sun, and best by both coaches (10 votes) - FC. I noticed in Demonland Voting he was down in the pecking order. Are we at Demonland underestimating him? He's fifth in the overall Demonland votes. But I thought he might of got some 5 and 6 votes, but instead got 2's and 3's.

I think he might be a chance in the B&F.

Just an observation regarding he's B&F chances.

There you go sports fans....Aug 19. ;)

congrats to cam, thoroughly deserved even though the team performed poorly. also great to see mclean second, which shows how highly rated he is, hope he gets the captaincy and wins the b&f next year

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
