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

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.

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

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

  • NON-MFC: Round 08

    Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
