AFL Fan Survey

Featured Replies

 

Nice. My most hated rule is when a player is done for holding the ball when there is about 10 players laying on top of him holding it in. How the hell is he meant to get it out?

 

just did the survey, for what it is worth. Doubt it will make much difference.

KB once said "The AFL have a very good understanding of what us fans like. They run lots of surveys."

Pitty they don't actually talk to some of us from time to time!

My least-favoured rule is when players are given free-kicks for self-initated high contact.

My favourite aspect of the game is when players are rewarded for properly executed tackles.

Have I contradicted myself there?

That is almost exactly what I said, although I did ramble on a bit about changing the interpretation to Significant contact rather than any and all contact above the shoulder and threw in a small dig about them not paying incorrect disposal anymore.

My favorite was actually to back the new rule against sliding into a players legs. I think it not only deals with a tactic that has been used maliciously by some players but also takes away one of the avenues players have used to milk cheap free kicks in the last decade or so.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #7 Jack Viney

    The Demon stalwart surpassed the number of his father's appearances for the club towards the end of the season. As he approaches his thirties, his pace is inevitably slowing, and he is likely to explore alternative opportunities beyond the team's midfield.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #8 Jake Lever

    The Demon premiership defender who has the reputation the master of intercept possessions as well as great leadership qualities managed only eight senior games this season as he battled injury and form, prompting speculation that he might be enticed to look elsewhere.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #10 Daniel Turner

    “Disco” took his time (four seasons) but the mid-season draftee has been a shining light of Melbourne's campaign, improving to become a versatile option at either end of the ground. He has great marking skills which allows him to play as a marking target up forward or an intercepting defender down back.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #11 Max Gawn

    The skipper delivered another outstanding season, leading the team from the front, participating in every game, and earning club champion honours, while also securing an equal record eighth All-Australian blazer as a ruckman.  Max Gawn is arguably the greatest exponent of ruck skills in the history of the game; an exceptional leader who has guided the club to a premiership, through the challenging times that followed, and now into the next phase of its storied history.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #12 Koltyn Tholstrup 

    It was a frustrating season for the former number 13 draft selection, who failed to build momentum in his second campaign; Tholstrup played only nine games, having been omitted twice and substituted out three times. However, he demonstrated promising signs in the midfield at Casey towards the end of the season, and big things are anticipated from him in the coming years.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Clayton Oliver, a four-time best and fairest winner at the club, has navigated a challenging period over the past two years, marked by injuries and personal issues, but has demonstrated promising signs suggesting a return to his optimal form in 2025. He is presently contracted to the club for an additional five years, with a substantial annual salary of approximately $1.7 million in the final seasons of his agreement. All at Melbourne are eagerly anticipating his resurgence to his previous peak performance levels.
