Footy Classified should be a Demons love fest tonight...    lets see if Judd has any humility and admits his comments about us celebrating too hard after the West Coast win were idiotic . 

 

with mitchell and cripps having a quiet two rounds and Maxy having a great last two rounds, he might be a real challenger for the Brownlow. (Brownlow predictor has Dusty winning it again however i am not so sure)

He's paying  $12 for the brownlow.

Just dropped a lazy twenty on.

He should go close

Just taken the $41 for the Norm Smith. 

 

To to my mind that’s much better value than the current $10 to win the flag. For us to win it, it would demand a big game from Max, so it’s almost the same bet with four times the payoff. 

Also, he’s that dominant he could win the medal in a losing side; even better value.

Nice work.

I got on the Dees early on this year at $23 for the flag.

Just missed my wager for a top 4 finish but hopefully we'll both be laughing late September.

Maxies gut running at the end of the game this week must have been inspirational for his team mates.

He's really reaped the rewards for the work he's put in this year.

Best ruckman in a long time. His tap work is pure class, his around the ground skills are strong, and his gut running is rare. Not bad for a big, doe-eyed comedian. Well deserved, big fella.

If he can continue his current form for a few more years he will be mentioned in the same breath as Dempsey and Madden - the 2 best ruckmen to play, in my humble opinion.

I am not sure who believes in omens or signs but Max has played 96 games. Wouldn't it be fantastic if he plays his 100th game in the Grand Final

Go Dees

 

 

When he had his first AA year I think a few of us Dees fans were cautious, we’d seen Jamar go AA and then not really come close to those abilities again. I was confident of him coming back after his injuries last year well but I honestly didn’t expect him to be as good as he’s been this year. He’s gone to another level and he could be looked back on in the future as a “great” Rick man of our game. 

Love ya Maxy!!! 


Thoroughly deserved. Well done Maxy. 

I have a sneaky feeling this is the first of a few awards to come this year...

A massive achievement. 

Chris Scott on 360 said he’s probably the best player in the league. Hard to argue against. Definitely he’s the most influential.

Yes I was having kittens worrying he might do a hammy. I'd have put him on ice halfway through the third.

In all seriousness has there ever been one player more important to our chances of winning a flag?

Up there with Ricky pettard


It’s super special that he’s doing all this in the famous number 11 as well. When I see him wearing it, I always think of Jimmy presenting Max with his jumper and this photo, I think after Jimmy’s passing.

I'm not sure if it was the jumper but he was looking like that NAB kid version of himself on the weekend. Has he lost even more weight over the season, at the same time as extending his beard?

A few quick questions:

  1. How long has this award been around?
  2. Has a Melbourne player ever won it before? (If so, who?)
  3. If a Melbourne player has previously never won it, what is our previous best result?

Well done to big Max. Had a ripper season.

The fact that we had 3 players in the top 20 says a lot about how we are finally turning the tides.

Watching the game I thought the jumpers looked looser than our normal one. I thought Petracca looked skinnier as well but then noticed the jumper and put it down to that.

1. 2003

2. No

3. I could be wrong but I think Gawn in 2016 was our previous best.

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
