22 into 6 won't go, but on a more serious note:

6.  Viney

5.  Hibberd

4.  Oliver

3.  Pedersen

2.  Vince

1. Salem

That was a seriously difficult assignment, and probably doesn't do justice to the likes of Truck, TMac, Jetts and Jonsey.  On any other weekend, they would have been in my bests.

1. Pedersen

Had trouble putting them in order, but think they were the best 6.  Wanted to squeeze in Jones, Vince, Tom Mac and Jetta but couldn't.

6 Oliver (hard for me not to give him this after criticising him lately. Not once did he turn backwards and compile stats with an easy unrequired handball. Brilliant and what a goal)

5 Hibberd (how good was he! Plenty of tricky moments to cope with - the Wags handball over his head etc - but he was beaten only in one of them - Eddie's magic goal).

4 Viney (he's back. I just feel sorry for his girlfriend. Imagine him coming at you all the time!)

3 Petracca (when you are Mr Cool in the cauldron that we witnessed, then you've made it. He has. We now have two young superstars and a host of other goers).

2 T-Mac (I know some of you don't get it with his kicking. But if you actually watch his impact, he's in everybody's votes. I just wish Jesse would take note.)

1 Salem (Started our regroup in the second with a courageous handball to Lewis and was precise and clever from then on. Why he's been playing midfield is beyond me.)

Apologies:

Jones and Pedo - Hard to believe that they could kick five between them, do their roles, and miss votes, but I stand by my choices.

Vince - A serial pest in Adelaide. Sometimes we need to tag and the element of surprise helps. Normal role next week please though.

6) Viney - dominant, fearless, inspirational

5) Hibberd - if he played for any other team would be being talked up as unanimous AA selection

4) Petracca - looked like a Dangerfied clone when he went on to the ball. That contested mark and goal just screamed confidence. Total beast.

3) Clayton Oliver - made Jacobs hitouts look worthless. A genius reader of the play.

2) TMac  - his move forward helped turn the game.   Goodwin is a proactive coach.

1) Bernie Vince - obliterated Sloane

Unlucky - Salem, Jetta, Pedersen, Jones, Frost

Hibberd has been fantastic, but he has played three games, so wouldn't be in AA contention at the moment. The fact that he plays for the MFC rather than someone else has nothing to do with it. 

Other than that, pretty accurate I reckon.

Your votes shouldn't count if you don't have TMac in there

Sorry Billy. Couple of useful things in the third doesn't cut it for me compared to the six chosen.Two goals, two excellent contested marks and two goal assists were good though.

6 - Viney. Complete game. Drove us forward always (and through them).

5 - Vince. His role was so important, Sloane drives them, Vince took the keys. 

4 - Petracca. Forward and mid he was great. Too strong, too good. 

3 - Hibberd. Mops [censored] up, gets us out of pickles, strong and smart, ripping game. 

2 - Oliver.  Because Oliver. 

1 - I really can't decide between Tmac and Pedo. Both structurally important. Both played equally well. .5 each. 

That was difficult. lol look at the players that missed out.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
