    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.

    He didn't have a great season.

    Tried bloody hard.

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

  • Quote

    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.

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
