The AFL even hate ex-Melbourne players.

They certainly love their Essendon players.

And seriously, that effort was Grundy was okay but hardly worthy of top 3!

Seriously,  Howe took one of the best marks of all time. 

It couldn't possibly be contrived, could it?

 

Dusty highlights - the bloke's a freak.

Are the mark and goal of the year voted on by the public or just the AFL?

Pretty sure it's the public so logically the clubs with the biggest supporter bases are advantaged.

Fraklin Should of got goal of the year in my opinion. Without a doubt.

The winner was the lesser of the three for sure. I thought Eddie's should have got the chocolates.

Thanks for that, makes some sense on the winners then.

I tell you what, Martin is sure lucky he's a pretty handy footballer, because just listening to him talk, he was always going to struggle to make it as a rocket scientist.

Don't know why - he is drawn from a good gene pool.

And O Mac gets a vote, go Oscar

It was. Eddie's was very crafty.

I've turned it off now. I've had a gut full !!!!!! I am addicted to gambling. If I get told again by some goose to have a bet and then in the next breath to " bet responsibly " , I'll friggin well scream !!!   Go and get stuffed  Brown or whatever your name is.

Well, it has been 2 hrs of the most riviting TV I have watched all year and I can't handle any more excitement in one night, so nighty nights good people's of Demonland.  Wake me up if Clarry wins it.

LOL

Clarry needs tatts to have a crack at a Brownlow. 

Having said that, based on post #10 from this thread, he's a winner anyway.

So he hasn't only been giving me the shiiitS all night.  Bookmaker sum of the earth... only one step down from a drug dealer.

I always enjoy Brownlow night, but this year's has been over-produced, really flat, and cringe-worthy .

I just cannot understand the goal of the year and mark of the year. Not to include either of Dangerfield's left footer from the boundary at full speed or Oliver's banana is ridiculous.  But Daniher for Mark of the year when Howe took pnenof the best ever - contrived and Essendon-centric. 

No respect or time given to Melbourne, Port Adelaide or Gold coast.  Pathetic. 

And Pendlebury on 15 votes?!?! I really rate this bloke and love his footy,  but he did not have that good of a year. 

 

 

I see they've ditched the votes predictor across the rounds. I think it much better.

Fitzy acting the clown next to Tom Mitchell on Hawks table. I guess he's the comedy act for the night

  • NON-MFC: Round 12

    Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
