Plenty of players who are valuable to the Club don't always get votes for playing a role as the umps don't see them!

Spare me the excuses please....

Both Captains play in the Midfield 

Played all season. Did nothing. 

FFS TMac polled 6 votes from 2 games

Hyperbole, not surprisingly.

Using that logic we should've made Woey captain after his win???

There are more intelligent ways of potting our captains than using an old fashioned award that gets disproportionate media coverage.

Yeah, yeah, i know...."big summer preseason ahead...", blah blah

 

good to see Fyfe thank his corporate partners before thanking his team mates lol.

Not when both play in the midfield 

Both of them should be ashamed. 

 

Woewodin is the luckiest bastard alive to get that medal. We all know that

I just don't understand how we seem to always shoot ourselves in the a$$.

People on here have picked better players in past drafts, then people at the club. 

No matter who we have at the club.

In hindsight on a regular basis... yes.

At the time? Well, a clock is correct twice per day

 

Tim Kelly will fold and play for the Dockers in 2020. 

The Dockers will trade Pick 6 & Darcy to the Cats for him.

West Coast simply cannot get the deal done to satisfy Geelong.

Angus Brayshaw going from third last year to not getting a vote this year epitomises our season, bloody horrible to say the least!!

No. You just want to start arguments. 

Both Captains were rubbish this year

Both played in the engine room and did bugger all...

Given his age I find it quite the disgrace. Is he worth persevering with or do we trade him while he still has currency? A

I liked Eddie Betts tonight. He was asked a stupid question after winning Goal of the Year. Who would he like to thank? He really wanted to say himself of course! Well he kicked the goal didn't he? Talent.☺️

Lost its relevance as soon as it became about the attention seeking groupies and wannabe Instagram Influencers who call themselves WAGs.

Someone always ruins a thread on Demonland, by bringing logic to the argument.

Well said WR


Gawn and Oliver presented again.

Should lead the joint IMO.

 

I added Joel Selwood (3) and Phil Davis (3)… worth noting that Sloane, Swallow and Cotchin didn't make it close to double figures either!

Let us say that Nathan Fyffe is a truly worthy Brownlow medallist as were those close to his tally i.e Paddy Dangerfield, Patrick Cripps and Tim Kelly.

The rest of this is pure sour grapes and vindictiveness.

Sack 'em all!

They've done sfa despite most of them being in the engine room. And none are playing in this week's Granny... says it all. 

Big preseason for the lot of them! Yadda, yadda....

Well it's actually not hindsight, if they declare their choices before the draft.

As an example most on DL thought we would take Daniel Talia if he was there at our pick. He was and we took Jordan Gysberts.

It was a shock to most DL's. It got much more shocking as the years rolled on.

That is but one of many examples.

I know drafting is an inexact science, but we have had far too many misses. I won't mention wasted early picks in Toumpas, Cook and Morton as that would only upset people.

Experts working on drafting for a year or two with a group of players, should be able to nail top 10 picks most of the time. Not always, but most of the time. If they can't, they are no good at their job.

As we know, drafting and trading are the ways to build a good list. Stuff that up and success becomes nearly impossible.

  • Thank You Simon Goodwin

    As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

  • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

  • REPORT: West Coast

    The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
