Given the pain they’ve put me through, I reckon I should get the nod.

Danners for mine.

    Jimmy Toumpas and Tom Scully.

    In all seriousness though if healthy enough, Daniher. Otherwise, Barassi.

    Where's Jane Bunn?

    Is she a supporter? Would like to hug her after we win it.

    EDIT: she's a Saints supporter. Probably needs a hug anyway.

    I think I'd hug anything if we win the flag Clint

    Noticed Garry Lyon has no votes, that’s fine and understandable. However I think media and obvious history aside he would be right in the mix. Sorry if this steps on toes but as a player the guy was everything that this club epitomises and one of the greatest skippers we ever had. Happy to take heat over this, go for it.

    Two presenters. for me... on the Dais.   Of course Barassi,,, but also Roosy.

    Barassi recruited & coached Roosy, when he went up to save The Swans... and Roosy, took the job to its zenith.

     

    Of course we all know Barass's contribution to the D's.

    And we all owe Roosy, for this build, who inturn owed Barassi for doing the same in Sydney town.

    I've thought about this over the years.  If he was still alive, the only choice would be Robbie.  If Garry Lyon's personal brand hadn't gone down the toilet it would be him. 

    But I think it has to be Neita. Like Matt Richardson for the Tigers, it is he who manfully battled through the modern struggles of our club.

    I love Barass and would be happy to see him hold the cup...but honestly....he has lifted enough cups!!!

    Fair comment I think layzie. People forget Garry was in our Team of The Century and a champion. Most people I assume hate him over the Neeld debacle but even Garry said last week on SEN he regrets getting involved but he was in a hard situation trying to help Jimmy and do it for him. He just made a bad choice, as we all have, but he wore his heart on his sleeve and bled for this club as a player and loves the Dees, he only wants the best and success as we all do.

    RDB is at all Melbourne home games and our last premiership captain in which year he also won the BnF and played 204 games with the Demons. I'm all for first in line and RDB would be that.

    That’s right Febes, it would just be nice if people could put that stuff to the side and remember what he did for our club. It was a terrible spot he was put in. 

    Yep it has to be Barass. Absolutely.

    I think “The Prince” Hertier Lumumba would be a fitting person to present the cup ,as he is the chosen one.

    • 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?
