Once again not a single Demon player has made the 40 man All Australian Squad.

No Vince makes this squad a joke.

Selectors are (as far as I can work out) Gillon McLachlan (chairman), Kevin Bartlett, Luke Darcy, Mark Evans,Danny Frawley, Glen Jakovich, Cameron Ling and Mark Ricciuto.

Darcy is a disrespectful [censored] who has it in for our club, the others seem OK.

Yes but we are one of six Clubs to not have a single player (and during the year we still beat the Western Bulldogs who have five players)!

You can't tell me Lachie Neale has had a better year than Bernie. I've watched plenty of Freo as well. Joke

Shame, but look across the squad and who would you leave out..?

Dane swan comes to mind, has been good but Vince has been better.

Posted (edited)

Unfortunately while Bernie had a lot of very good patches, he went missing for 3-4 games a time, two or three times. His last four or five games, he was pretty much unsighted except for the last round.

Unsurprising.

Nathan Jones was far more deserving last year than Vince was this year.

That said, Heath Shaw? Over Tom McDonald?

Wow.

Disagree except for the last 4 weeks or so, this is about the whole year though, not just one lean patch. I think the last few weeks would have taken him out of the team but not the squad!

Rory Laird???? Who the hell is that? Swan, Ibbo also lame selections.

Swanny also had a few games where he did SFA.

Swan out, Vince in.

Rory has had a good year but Shaun Burgoyne has done nothing. He is there on reputation alone. Averaging 9 kicks and 10 HBs. Pathetic.

Michael hurley. FMD what a joke

TBH I have taken no notice of the AA since they refused to include Adem Yze years ago. Claimed that a player had to put in a number of years of solid performances to get in the team. Farkoff, 2001 Yze average 22.2 disposals, 4.8 marks and 1goal 1bh.

Edit: put in link

SIX clubs got none

ONE club got one

so i don't think we were singled out. it is just pretty skewed to 11 clubs

TMac was in AA until Cloke decided to put in a big one on QB, after that it took him about 8 weeks before he showed anywhere near his capabilities.

Vince I would've thought he'd get in the squad, he's had a sensational year. But not a huge surprise given our year.

Shaun Burgoyne for a start... How he is in the squad I do not know. Armitage & Vince the most unlucky

Heath Shaw has been excellent this year, will get in the team.

Surprised Armitage and Vince didn't make the squad.

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields.

Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
