    To not select the best actual ruckman in the All-Australian ruck position is to completely disrespect the art of ruck-craft, big boy.

    Who was our last 3x AA?

    Garry Lyon 93, 94, 95 I believe.

    Our coach of course was pretty handy, making the team 5 times.

    What a great achievement for a guy who played in a team that only won 5 games.  Only 4 players (Walters, Fyfe, Cripps and Gawn) from the non- finalists. Max is a genuine superstar!

    So glad the AA selectors recognised his dominance this year - Grundy deservedly named Ruck but like last year, there were two dominant ruckmen, not just one, and I think after a slowish start Maxy's year was as good or better than last year.  What a star he is.

    This year would have been even harder without watching Max dominate his role at times.  Am with all those that want him made Captain.

    Congrats - hopeful more plaudits and jackets to come in a long, illustrious career!

    Well done, Max. Clarry was bloody stiff, but Max deservedly and comfortably should sit in that team.

    Not really. 

    Oliver was ordinary in some games. Let's not kid ourselves and fall for his disposal numbers now. Even the blokes who were named in the squad of 40 that missed out in the midfield were still clearly ahead of him.

    So happy for Max - he is the superstar in our team. I know he is disappointed with how the team finished up this season but he can hold his head high. I can’t even begin to imagine where we would be without him.

    Mate, he was top 5 in the competition for a lot of stats, including #1 for contested possessions. Let's not start [censored] on the brightest, most talented player we've had through the doors in many years.

    Clarry is a star and although he could be the best player in the competition if he used his beautiful right foot more effectively, he is still a genuine A grade midfielder and he had another A grade season.

    Max has got his work cut out for him in that regard:

    Dean Cox: 05, 06, 07, 08, 11, 12

    Aaron Sandialnds: 08, 09, 10, 14

    Surprised that jimmy only got 2 AAs despite 4 BnFs and Brownlow. More quality rucks in the 90s I guess

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
