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.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
