Yeo and Macrae unlucky to miss.

If I had a choice of any player to augment our current list it would probably be one of these 2.

Yeo is so adaptable, could play anywhere and do it well, strong in the contest and in the air.  Macrae is the wingman we need.

What the hell, lets get them both.

Make it happen PJ before you hand over your desk...

    Cant believe there isnt a thread to congratulate Max and Clarry....   guess this one will have to do.

    Well done to both boys.   Though its laughable Oliver was on the bench and not in the starting 18.

    Franklin in the team cos of his name....  and they gave him the captaincy.  Geez.

    And Tom Hawkins didnt make it....  I bet hes crying.  But not as much as he will be crying after Frost destroys him in the Elimination final.

    Not quite sure what your beef is in this thread. I saw around 10 predicted media sides in the last week or so, and all had him in the side (all bar one starting). So to continually try and call out posters for bias seems a little odd.

    Most supporters wanted to see him get his just reward, and as far as I'm concerned, he did, as I couldn't care less about starting vs bench.

    Team supporters are quite often biased about their players  it is a normal situation. My beef is that a lot of the same supporters then can any one who has a different view.

    If people charged with picking the team pick a different player to the team supporters choice it does not make the selector an idiot which is the way same supporters label them.

    All wisdom does not flow from supporters on Demonland.

    Quite often the "experts" actually get it right.

    We scored 300 points more than the Hawks, yet they had 2 forwards in the team while we had none. Did Gunston and Bruest kick all of their goals this year?

    Based on our forwards performance over the year who would you replace those two with from the MFC?

    Giving Franklin the captaincy was hideous. Definitely Shannon Hurn for mine.

    Would like to know why and how Franklin was named AA captain this year?

    How anyone here gets angry about Clayton being selected AA but starting on the bench is baffling.

    A little part of me wanted Oliver to miss out on the final 22 just so I could watch picket blow a phoofa valve.

    Buddy as captain is bizarre. On what basis did they arrive at that decision?

     

    If The All Australian team was to play another bizarro world, alternative universe All Australian Team, I'd want someone with some experience leading my team. 8 All Australians is an incredible achievement. And his "kick it to me" comment was gold.

    I'm not necessarily saying we should have someone in the forward line, just trying to work out what the criteria is for those 2 to get in. With 2 players representing your team in the fwd line, you should've really had a dominant attack, the Hawks didn't.

    I have no idea if they are worthy or not the only Hawthorn game I watched this year was against us.

    Probably the vibe 'layzie', it just felt right to me.

    A great champion honoured, and he is a champion of the game a term that shouldn't be used lightly.

    I get why others don't like it but I do.

    That's a fair view. Can see where you're coming from.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
