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?

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: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
