    Neither is Dunn or Jetta....shame. We're the only club not represented.

    Apart from the continued slight on Jones it just goes to show how well equalisation is working.

    On the positive side this just adds more credence to our request to the AFL for special assistance, doesn't it?

    Which midfielder would you drop out of the squad of 40 for him? Hasn't had a good enough year to sneak in. Surprised Dunn didn't get a look in, although his last 6 weeks weren't that great either.

    You can also throw in we had no rising star winner.

    I'd drop out Tom Libbertore, Jones is second in the comp for disposals, averaging 7 more disposals per game

    You'll need to throw up more info than that - disposal counts do little for me. Libba has had a very, very good year. Some might say it's a line ball, but ask any supporter outside of us and the Dogs and Libba would get pick 8 times out of 10.

    Brandon Ellis for a start. Statistically he beats him on pretty much every front.

    I think the guy who is 2nd in the league for disposals and 3rd in the league for clearances deserved a spot in the top 40.

    Tried bloody hard.

    Bulldust. He had a fantastic season. This oversight doesn't change that one iota.

    He had a better year then Libba & ward IMO... Dunn was good first half of the year thought he dropped away badly in the second half. Jetta was never going to make it, not saying he wouldn't have deserved it but the ignorant selectors probably didn't even mention his name

    Not sure about [censored] or [censored] but otherwise, yeah, close enough.

    Those of you in Melbourne should burn AFL house, Just wear a Collingwood jumper they will never know it was you.

    I would have him in before

    Libba, Ward and Ellis and I don't care about their stats because pretty sure Jones stats will be right up there with them. Jones has nowhere near the midfield support these guys have had and usually gets best opposition opponent or if Roos decided to make him go head to head against opposition best.

    I agree he was pushing to make the final 22 but not making the 40 is a joke.

  • Quote

    It's a joke. Jones in a Collingwood jumper would probably win a Brownlow this season.

    Melbourne are the ugly cousin nobody ever asks out to the prom. Sigh.

    That has to be the most flawed system since bloody Communism. I try to pay it as little attention as possible but that is just an insult to a quality player.

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
