There is no way I'd have Hawkins in my side.

Would have Clarkson as coach instead of Buckley.

    Oliver has had a better season than Dangerfield and Martin and should be starting on the ground.

    MacRae ahead of Oliver is laughable. Same with Gaff.

    Dangerfield wouldn't be in my team at all.

    Kudos to Robbo though for not squeezing in any of his beloved Essendope players.

    It's a shame that Neville can't quite crack into the 22. Laird gets in because of higher possession numbers, but as lock down small defenders go there is none as good as Nev.

    How does Jetta not make it!

    Agreed. Oliver should be a starting midfielder. He has unarguably had a better season than Dusty or Danger. They’ve been included based on reputation, not output.

    Always funny to see Rance permanently listed at full back despite regularly been taken to the cleaners this year. Has there been a more overrated player in the history of the game?

    The article is behind a paywall so I can’t view it. Does it have a write up of each player included?

    It does a little. Said Gawn was better than Grundy in all the “Ruck” stats whisky Grundy got more possessions etc.

    Buckley was best coach due to no one expecting them to do this well and with the massive injury list. TBH he has a point. No way in the world I thought the filth would be where they are even with a full side prior to the season starting.

    None of them were nominated in the top 3 of Geelong players for the AFLPA MVP.  Thats pretty funny, I guess their own teammates even hate them.

    MELBOURNE

    MVP: Max Gawn, Tom McDonald, Clayton Oliver
    Most Courageous: Neville Jetta
    Best First Year: Bayley Fritsch

    They select themselves really.

    Great to see Nev get this recognition.  So many times he has been knocked around in a game yet bounces back the next week.

    He hasn't done a terrible job. It's a tough ask. But I agree with the above comments - Oliver has had a much better year than Dusty and Danger and should be on the field instead of interchange.

    Glad to see he snuck both Gawn and Grundy in there, it would be a crime for one of them to miss out after such dominant seasons.

    I'm okay with bucks as coach - i still don't like the bloke but he has done an amazing job against the odds to keep that team winning this year.

    Jetta would have to be very unlucky again. Outstanding year. 

    Started slowly in the first month or so. Has been solid since - hopefully makes the squad but I wouldn’t think he’ll make the 22.

  • Quote

    Jetta hasn’t had an AA year. Might make the squad again.

    Oliver should start ahead of Macrae.

    No Darcy Parish either. Wtf

    I’m confident that Oliver and Gawn will make the AA team and equally confident there will be no other Dees in the 22.

    Jetta, McDonald and Brayshaw are possibly a chance to make the squad, but even that may be a bit of a stretch.

  • Quote

    That's not a bad side at all.  I agree Dangermouse and Rance are in on reputation rather than performance, but Martin is predicted to be leading the brownlow right now, so you could say he's having a decent season.  Oliver on the bench isn't the end of the world, and with Cripps, Mitchell and Martin as extractors in the starting side you can see why he'd be left out. 

  • Quote

    Not a bad effort. Definitely would have preferred Oliver in the Followers and maybe Danger on bench.

    Not bad from robbo. Agree on 21 but No way danger deserves a spot in the 22. 

    Conilglio, Ben brown is stiff. Sicily,

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    • AFLW REPORT: Geelong

      Melbourne wrapped up the AFLW home and away season with a hard-fought 14-point win over Geelong at Kardinia Park. The result secured second place on the ladder with a 9–3 record and a home qualifying final against the Brisbane Lions next week.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
