It is a flat out disgrace, but I expected no less from those clowns. Hopefully one day our club commands the respect where our players aren't treated like dog excrement when it comes to these awards. That will likely only come from winning consistently. In the meantime, this has once again saved me valuable life hours not wasted watching a bland AA awards night on TV.

Winning a few games would help . . .

Seriously though, what player apart from Matthew Pavlich has a hope in hell of being All Australian if their team is bottom 4?

It is a joke... He hasn't racked up as many posessions as those players listed in the midfield, but he has more kicks than all of them (Dayne Swan has more, but is listed as a forward for some unknown reason?)... Given how well he kicks, and how easy it is to rack up large handball stats these days, he should've been included...

Started the season well and thought he would of been up there, but no suprise really.

We never really seem to get much of a run even when we were a decent team, I still havent forgiven them for putting Spider in a pocket and leaving Robbo out in 2004 I think it was when he had a stellar season.

Excellent. We'll rename it the 'All-Australian Team for 3/4 of the League' as of next season. It's simply lazy. Do they actually watch the games, or go by generalised theories like the one you (hopefully sarcastically) spouted?

I was thinking the same thing.

If davey was in a top 8 team, he would of been one of the 1st picked i reckon...

He runs his ass off to get those 'easy' kicks people are posting about, then delivers with that 'left-foot precision' you see in some lefties in the league..

Davey has been the difference between a 5 gls loss and a 50 gls loss..(i exaggerate) more than a few times this year and stepped up to be one of the best outside mids in the game.. and to not even be considered?

F**k 'em! <_<

did you really think he was good enough to be picked before any of the elite midfielder from top4 sides? theres like 12 off the top of my head i would pick before him...

did people really think we whould get any AA even when the dees make grand finals we cant get many AA, i will tell you you why the dees dont get any AA its one man G.healy he is still bitter about 1987 when the dess knock the swans out in that year by over 70 points, he reason for leaving the dees was to play finals football, but which team played in GF in 1988

Thank goodness they don't watch our games.

Otherwise our "megatank" would have even got more bad press and traction from these very well respected xplayers.

In any case Davey is unlucky not to be in the squad but in my opinion is not worthy of a AA gurnsey.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
