Didn't see any posts about the MVP awards, so here is a quick summary:

MVP - Patrick Dangerfield (Gawn fourth behind Danger, Sloane and Martin)

Most Courageous - Luke Parker (Viney fifth behind Parker, Ward, Rance and Selwood)

Best Captain - Taylor Walker 

Best First Year Player - Callum Mills

22 Under 22 - Petracca, Viney and Hogan all named.

 

Tremendous season from Max, good to see it recognised by his peers.

Taylor Walker best captain!?

Surely they are taking the [censored]?

 

 

 

I think Dazzler, when you consider what that club has been through in recent times, the award is not without merit. More to captaincy than just on-field

If thats the case then where is Jack Trengove and Jack Grimes award from back in 2012? 

I understand the point your coming from Biff but if we go by your logic then those 2 deserve it after what we went through as a club with the Jim Stynes passing and the off field dramas that we endured all year.

How is Rance in any way courageous? Is he not the dog who punched a prone Jack Watts in the back of the head? He is one of the most cowardly players in the league!

Clayton Oliver criminally underrated.

The club nominated Wagner ahead of Oliver for best first year player.

So I agree with your point; however, his peers were unable to vote for him.

The Under 22 team was a bit disappointing. No Caleb Daniel? Hunt pretty unlucky to miss out also!

Would anybody seriously have Caleb Daniel in the best 22 players in the entire competition under 22?!

Joe Daniher shouldn't be in there, Caleb Daniel is stiff.

Like him as a player and had a great year but there are so many good mids under 22, he wouldn't be in my top 10.

I see where you are coming from but despite the wishes of many, their coach didn't get murdered

Adelaide FC have had a fair bit to deal with from players leaving to Bailey's illness & passing & the tragedy of last year. I believe Walker has played a huge role in keeping the group grounded & together through it all

However, if it was a tragedy competition over the last 10 years, yes, we would still be ahead

 Massive effort from Gawn to run 4th in the MVP. Get on him to win it next year

Assuming the decision had already been made, I think the selectors would've questioned leaving Daniel out while watching him run riot in an Elimination Final. 33 disposals (13 contested) and 8 inside 50s. He was probably the Dogs best player,

Membrey and Hunter on the bench are both expendable. I think Daniel is already shaping up as a more damaging player than Hunter.

He's not a massive omission but he would've been a very worthy inclusion.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. 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. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. 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
