I'm happy none of ours made it into the AA team.they can focus on the next year ,forget the Irish game ,and avoid tags based on their status.The worst year we ever had was when the press knew everything happening at the club.The best in recent times was '87 when they had no idea who Lyon,Rigoni,Leoncelli,Newport etc were.Not much press coming out of the MFC in Northeys days.Lets fly under the radar and into September.

Rigoni and Leoncelli were really flying under the radar back then. Rigoni would have been playing under 14's for Myrtleford in 87! Leoncelli in the same age group playing somewhere else.

    2015 Stats

    Nic Naitanui, West Coast 20 games in 2015. 116 kicks, 30 marks, 125 handballs, averaging 5.8 kicks, 1.5 marks, 6.3 handballs. 17 Goals, 12 Behinds. 676 Hit Outs (fourth in the AFL), averaging 33.8 per game. 79 Clearances, 53 Inside 50m, 14 Rebound 50m. 75 Tackles.

    Stefan Martin, Brisbane 20 games in 2015. 238 kicks, 128 marks, 195 handballs, averaging 11.9 kicks, 6.4 marks, 9.8 handballs. 5 Goals, 9 Behinds. 650 Hit Outs (seventh in the AFL), averaging 32.5 per game. 96 Clearances, 69 Inside 50m, 28 Rebound 50m. 40 Tackles.

    No point trying.

    Rioli and Naitanui just get nominated because of who they are, not necessarily because they're the best selections.

    Bernie definitely deserved to be in the best 40, don't think he should have made the final team but IMO has had a better year than Dalhaus, Pendles, Swan & Deledio off the top of my head. Having said that the worst omission of all players is David Armitage has had a very good year in a quality side

    Nic Nat has had a very good year but once again AFL influence gets him a gig along with the hype, he is behind Sandilands, Martin and possibly Sam Jacobs

    Josh Gibson really don't think he has had a great season, Talia has had a better season and is certainly a better player

    The panel have certainly continued with the theme of devaluing the AA

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
