Somewhat ironic that 4 players were nominated for Rising star, and he wasn't one of them!!

 

Then there is no chance the Rising Star curse will strike him.

Yeah that is a surprise, anyone able to shed some light on what he did to win that award twice?

So far no surprises. Hunt best young player, Grimes best VFL player, Jetta Club Ambassador. Is there a womens B&F award again this year?

Say what you want but Colin Sylvia was one of the best at the club when it came to charity work and positive off field visiting kids at hospital etc.

This. Used to do things like pop into the Royal Children's Hospital unannounced and stay for hours talking to young Melbourne supporters or just kids in general. For all his faults, he was incredible in this regard.

1 - Gawn

2 - Tyson

3 - T-Mac

4 - Viney

5 - Jones

Good on him. Never heard about any of this.

Yep all credit to him he never sought the limelight for it. I know a nurse who used to work there who was amazed at how often he'd come in and how long he'd stay for. Said he was an absolute gentleman with the kids and families which doesn't always fit with the Sylvia we knew. I don't know him from Adam but always felt he's just a big kid who's never really grown up.

We (self included) can be overly harsh on players and other Demonlanders based on a game or 2 of football or a post we don't like. It's why some love their pets more than people ?


I guess I forgot Vince had a good first half of the season

Peter Jackson now speaking. Expects a good financial result this year.

I think there was an article recently saying that only 8 clubs would be in the black this year. Hopefully we're one of them.

It's also easy to forget how good Jonesy is with more spotlight on Max and a couple of Jacks.

consistently performs and has done so for years now.. Has the odd week where he doesn't and Demonland rips him to shreds. 

Stupid people are stupid.

Special award to Debbie Lee for her contribution to women's footy. Got a standing ovation.

I didn't realise she has played 302 games of football!  In fact I had no idea there was a raft of leagues for women's football. 

This is an extract of her achievements from a release on mfc website, when she was appointed:  Lee has been a longstanding figure in women’s football, both on and off the field.  She played 302 games in the Victorian Women’s Football League (VWFL), founded women’s football club VU Western Spurs (formerly Sunshine YCW Spurs/St Albans Spurs) and was VWFL president from 2004 until 2012.  Lee actively pushed for AFL Women’s Exhibition Games at the Melbourne Football Club and has driven the club’s women’s football program since 2013.  This year, she was included in the AFL Women’s Football Advisory Group, which makes recommendations for the inaugural National Women’s League.

The standing ovation is richly deserved.

Ron Barassi Junior Trophy for leadership - Jack Viney 

Next captain.

Stands to reason.

 

Hopefully Max's boot is empty to fit in all the silverware he's taking home

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
