    Inclined to agree. 

    Listening to 3AW tonight talk a leak that Selwood was captain. May be a rumour though, Lloyd was going with it.

    Great to see Max get in - a great result and well earned.

    I am a huge Pendlebury fan, and think he is an absolute gun. Vision, time, skills. But he did not deserve a place in the 40 this year. He had a good season, but many othrrs should be ahead of him.

    Toby Greene AA?   serious WTF.

    at least voldemort missed out

  • Quote

    It's a credit to him and how hard he has worked. At the start of the year he wanted to be one of the top ruckman in the comp and through hard work he is now the AA ruckman. Great stuff Maxy and congrats.

    Not that we were expecting anything different but congratulations Maxy! BIG part of why we were improved this year, his synergy with Tyson, Viney, and Jones was a joy to watch. 

    If Tyson continues his form from the second half on 2016 he could be up there for AA consideration next year, particularly if he and Maxy continue to work so well together. 

    Very well deserved Max! #fearthebeard

    wow, Toby Greene.

    No doubt he had a solid year, but if you watch GWS play he is the most selfish player in the comp.  Burns teammates multiple times a game.  I can see him costing them a final with his selfishness.

    Also it wouldnt be an AA team without multiple Richmond, Bulldogs and West Coast players.

    Even if all three teams finished in the bottom 4 they would still get multiple AA's.  Im convinced they pay off the selectors.

    Watching the replay, Richo and Lingy are fairly palatable when they're not around their dick head mates at Ch7

    What was with the Blazers? Is Cameron Schwab running the AA now?

     

    I think they were leftover from the Olympics.

    Just a fantastic effort by Max to stamp his  work on the competition so quickly. 

    He called it, he made it.

    Awesome stuff and such a key component to our premiership hopes.

    Go Dee's.

    No idea how Selwood got the captaincy over Danger.

    Not only is it a fait accompli that he'll win the Brownlow & Cats B&F in a canter, of all players' to lead their teams to wins this year, he's done it the most.

    A rather enigmatic smile on the big man also ( and IMHO the whole scene spoils by the bloke on the right)!

  • Quote

    I know every year there's a massive bit of whinging about 'how did so and so get in / miss out' etc, but Toby Greene? Decent year but is selfish and does a lot of his stuff in junk time.

    Enright over Docherty/Simpson is a bit ordinary too. That's a reputation pick rather than based on performances this year.

    Don't reckon Selwood has been as good either and think Pendlebury is very stiff to miss out.

    Anyways, congrats Big Maxy. The most deserving pick of the lot.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
