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.

    I hope they sack the whole FD...

    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: 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.
