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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
