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.


Final Leaderboard - Top 20

  • 385 – Christian Petracca
  • 362 – Steven May
  • 311 – Jack Viney
  • 296 – Ed Langdon

Good to see Kozzie, Rivers and TJ in the top 20 considering they didn't play many games.  Good reward and incentive.

I was expecting some more speeches from 

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.

No ANB, Hunt a McDonald, Jetta, Smith

Like Jesse Hogan?? No smiles??

 

Aaarggghh he's gone. Out the door..............

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!

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.

Perhaps Goodwin & the Footy Department really aren’t the right guys.

Viney finishing 3rd is not a good sign for MFC

I don't think Hunt was mentioned in the highlights reel even in the last game where he kicked 4... may be a fait accompli

Just now, jnrmac said:

Like Jesse Hogan?? No smiles??

 

Aaarggghh he's gone. Out the door..............

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

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
