Nice to hear that Jackson feels that the players at the club are like brothers (even though Rivers should have won that one)

Great sign that the group is tight.

    Weid is top 10.....?

    Must have voted the house down in some of those mid season games as he was invisible in the last 4 games as well as missing the first 5.

    Nice to see Trac win, May rewarded with 3 trophies, and Langdon finish Top 5. It's a much better reflection of individual seasons then the absolute atrocity that is AA selection. 

    Surprised that Viney got third, but he always polls well and his speech was classy AF. You sometimes forget how hard hub life must have been for certain players until you hear stuff like that. Pure class to start off with Wagners and Dunkley acknowledgement too. 

    I'm not a Goody basher like some others on here, but he really is not a good public speaker.

    Very surprised Viney finished so high and especially ahead of Oliver and Langdon. 

    There is no way Clarry should have finished that low and also behind Jack.  Jack had a solid year but.

    Aside from May & Ed, Clarry was the most consistent of the lot win, lose or draw.  Where others might have gone a tad quiet for a match or two, or have an off quarter, two or three, Clarry is pretty much always in the hunt and in the clinches tackling, digging the ball out to a team mate or running off into space to punch the ball forward even when the team's doing it tough he's rarely off the boil.

    Always room for improvement but that's my take.

    Congrats to Tracc.  A very good year for sure but there were a few quiet moments as well for my liking in terms of the No.1 title.

    Captain & Coach, but as I said earlier Everyone just wants to get home after 11 weeks

    We didn’t make Finals

    New players to clubs often do well as the heirarchy likes to congratulate themselves on their astute recruiting

    May and Langdon to do very well.

    Petraccas score involvements will rate highly as will his flexibility around the ground.

    Gawn, Oliver and Viney should also rate highly

    Salem late was good but wasn't consistent.

    Be very surprised if the top 5 came from outside this lot.

     

    I'll go 

    Petracca

    May

    Langdon

    Gawn

    Oliver

    Viney

     

    I think a lot here will be surprised with Viney but well done to him an outstanding year after many predicted he would throw the toys out of the pram

    And to Trac, May, Langdon and Oliver you are the future.

    I have only read the current page... but I'm so glad the club ONCE AGAIN recognized the worth of Jack Viney, even though some of the most boisterous here are unable to see what is patently obvious! Perhaps its time for the Viney assassins to take a breath and acknowledge that they get it wrong... over and over and over again!!!

    It felt a little flat and somber, but putting that down to just missing out on finals.

    I thought Viney was weird and I hope he was just hungover or was kept up all night with the kid

    Nope , he was weird. Couldn’t look at his teammates. Did not acknowledge Steven May. Had his head down when Tracc spoke. Didn’t smile once

    How do the results compare to our own Grinter award?

    Personally, I thought Lever would do better.

    I would guess Lever would be disappointed finishing 11th. 

    I thought he had a better season than that.  Even thought he was a smokey for top 5.  Got that wrong!

  • Quote

    A bit surprised how high Brayshaw polled. Thought he wouldn’t have been in the top 10. 

    For $800k a year, Lever that far down the list isn’t really acceptable at all. He needs to be top 5-7 next year.

    Few people are saying this was actually held last night as the players left the hub this morning. Truth or BS?

     

    Well I see it was pre recorded and on Instagram all the boys out at cafe's currently posting now. I was also told Max flew back today so draw your own conclusion.

    I actually reckon he is. Just a vibe. 

    Perhaps a coincidence but that was the best I have heard him speak. Bug respect for his comments about the fringe players

    Imagine if Weid has actually played 17 games and had more than 3 good games.  Coaches must have big love for him now compared with the start of the year

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
