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 ?

    Well done Max and Tracc. Given NicNat only plays about 65% game time, makes sense to play the second ruck!

    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.

    Impressive from Caleb Daniel. Dogs have a decent list, better than ours I'd venture (more depth).

    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

    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

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
