IMO Harmes was easily ahead of Viney.

So was May & he only played a few games...

    Viney finishing 3rd was unbelievable. Bring in the auditors.

    I was surprised that Salem didn't finish higher than seventh.

    And surprised that Hunt finished top 10.

    The issue is how much he and his manager are asking. It’s not that we haven’t or don’t want to offer him one.

    The club did offer him a contract. But not for an amount that he deemed sufficient.

    What a fantastic speech by Max. A real leaders speech.

    If he isn’t made Co Captain next year it will be the greatest farce ever.

    Obviously haven't got a clue.

    We're screwed...

    An internal award and wouldn't be the first anomaly Rjay.  Oh well.  Thought Clarry was very close all year but wasn't expecting a tie as such.  Just a very close contest.  Something different anyways and well done to both.

    Frosty should have finished TOP 5 IMO. 

    However l could not see how Viney  did finish so high.  By far  not one of his best seasons.

    Terrible, honestly [censored] terrible. Buckley and Hardwick were the same until they learned to loosen up and actually speak like an actual human. Goodwin won’t connect with the young players talking like that. 

    He needs to connect with the younger generation like I do, throw in some ‘radicals’ and ‘groovy’s’ and refer to things as being ‘hip’. Then they’ll think he’s cool and he’ll get their attention. 

    I was briefly just back in Oz for the first time in 5 years. I reckon he'll need way more Fs and Cs to get the attention of the younger generation.

    The Viney haters just don't get it! They never will! Viney is rated so highly by those closest to him because of his LEADERSHIP!!!!!!

    That's what worries me 'Rusty'...what games are they watching?

    It can't have been this years.

    Do they really have a clue?

    He's rated by the coach, I'm not so sure by the players & he showed very little if any leadership on the ground this season...

    What a weird night. I thought Max would lap the whole field. 

    I get the feeling the Club just wanted to get it over. Good thing to. 

    Max must be Captain, I hope on his own..

    Fun fact.

    This year's B&F is the first time since 2010 that Nathan Jones has finished outside of the top 5.

    Puts it all on the line every time, never shirks an issue! Attack on the ball is second to none. Toughness in the clinches is as good as it gets. Never a sniper... always there for team mates! What blindness is this that has descended on Demonland?

    • 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?
