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?

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
