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.

How far back is Big Max ?

and where is Wattsy ?

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

  • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

    The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.
