Can’t we just have an awards night without Dusty? Not a forward pocket at all, undeserved selection once again. 

Was Luke 'I can't imagine an AA team without Joel Selwood' Darcy a judge again? Or Ling..

Will be surprised if they go with 2 rucks. Think Max misses, as will Clarry

Yeah thinking Max will miss out now. Bench will be stacked with mids and maybe Butler. 

Well this aged well, Andy ?

I love Max Gawn. I think he's an absolutely brilliant ruckman and a terrific ambassador for the club.

But he shouldn't have been in the squad for this season, let alone the final 22. He really needs to "do a Luke Beveridge" and donate that jacket to Steven May.

Both Dangerfield and Bont named at half forwards..

Dangerfield = 11 goals

Bont = 11 goals.

Meanwhile true forward specialists players in Papley and Butler miss out...

Papley = 26 goals.

Butler = 27 goals.

Worst AA side ever!

No matter how you look at it, there's a bit of history in Max's accomplishment tonight.

With four selections now under his belt, Max Gawn has overtaken his numbersake, Jimmy Stynes, as the most AA selected player in MFC history.

He’ll be in there. I’ll be ropeable if he isn’t named on the ground. 

Max will probably be on the bench. 

Clarry will miss out. 

Nailed it.

Max is the third Melbourne player to make the AA team after finishing 6th in the club B&F after Adem Yze in 2002 and Michael Hibberd in 2017. Just goes to show how different people see it.  Consistently different by the look of it.

That would be Barassi and Garry Lyon

No true wingmen either.

well done  big Max .The posters expectations of you are ridiculously high. you deserved the 3 previous inclusions and you deserved this one as well .Nic Nat had a great year but  you are still the best ruck in the competition

May out of this side is a massive blunder. albeit having 3 AAs for non finals teams is a not a good look.
 

Ling needs to be pulled off the selection panel. Geelong are always over represented and Danger gets a free ride. Guthrie on the wing. Seriously?

Apologies! Clearly a MFC history lesson is in order.

Reckon I’d take the Bont on the HF line over Butler. His second half if the year was poor

Papley was the best small forward this year

    TRAINING: Monday 17th February 2025

Rehabbing: Great to see Kentfield back (much slimmer), walking with Tholstrup, TMac (suspect just a management thing), Viney (still being cautious with that rib cartilage?), Melksham (

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
