The Demond had 3 nominations for Goal of the Year during the year. 
 

Round 11 Kozzy Pickett for his twist and juggling and snap goal versus the Roos

Round 12 Jake Melksham for his quick reaction soccer goal from 12 metres out v Pies 

Round 14 Christian Petracca for his “mark” twist and strength to turn and kick whilst being jumped on from 25 metres out v Saints (the match winner). It won the weekly Best goal. 
 

I still reckon Trent Rivers left foot spiral kick v Giants in round 17 was a beauty and so important to win it.  The small crowd went crazy. 
 

Other nominations ????

    I initially had Harley for the emotion behind it... but as things now stand..etc etc.

    @spirit of norm smith I concur re: Trent Rivers goal as well. 

    And Trac's against the Saints.

    Did Oliver not kick one not dissimilar to his a few years ago re: Adelaide?

    I'll throw in Trac's against GWS. The one hand pickup in traffic. Two or three steps into a 40m snap. Pure Power.

    Charlie Spargo up front and centre crumb goal from the top of the goal square vs pies.

    Only because it's the only crumbing goal I can remember and we need substantially more of these to have a decent crack at a flag.

    Agree. End of the first quarter. It had a real stamp of authority. The way Trac picked it up and burst clear and slotted it from a tight angle about 40 metres out. First class ??

    Another Trac Nomination.  (#6)

    I remember another excellent long range Trac goal v Suns in Round 6. 

    Two minutes left and we were 5 points up. Oliver was actually composed and found Trac 50 metres out.  
    Trac kicks it 60 metres straight through the middle and into the stand.  Seals the game.

    Tracs goal against the Saints that made it across the line by a bees diaphragm .

    or Trent Rivers exciting snap against GWS.

    I think I jumped higher with Trents goal so that just wins for me.

    Trac let go with a number of big roosts from outside 50 this year and they pretty much always looked like going through right off the boot.  I recall one against the Saints, another against Essendon and possibly one on the run against North.

    Such a weapon and an absolute pleasure to watch.

    ANB’s goal in the final round was a good one too 

    From memory he kicked a couple of pearlers that day.

    One hard up on the boundary early in the game when he bent it back through perfectly and that other one where he picked up the bouncing ball headding into oncoming traffic and then slotted it straight through.

    Trac's goal vs St Kilda that only just made it through was pretty sweet given how many times the Saints have done us in. Also loved his power, pick up, and finish goal vs GWS; pure class.

    That was a beauty ... very unMelbournian combination of second effort and team set up.

    That goal was ridiculous and gets my vote.

    yes Oliver kicked a beauty v Kangas. Last minute goal.  
    Banana from the pocket but less exciting as we were already 9 goals up and no crowd.

    I agree Trac’s best this year are awesome.  
     

    v GWS - the pickup on the run and kick from 45 metres on a tight angle 

    v Kangas - the spoil, the run and burst and kick from 55 metres 

    v Blues  - Huge goal, contested mark v Newnes on 60 metres out and to burst clear and kick it from 55 out 


    v Hawks - contested mark v Sicily and then the goal from 50 metres out 

    v Saints  1.  the match winning goal beating 3 Saints  and kicking it whilst being held. 2.  The first goal from 55 metres out

      The Demon stalwart surpassed the number of his father's appearances for the club towards the end of the season. As he approaches his thirties, his pace is inevitably slowing, and he is likely to explore alternative opportunities beyond the team's midfield.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #8 Jake Lever

      The Demon premiership defender who has the reputation the master of intercept possessions as well as great leadership qualities managed only eight senior games this season as he battled injury and form, prompting speculation that he might be enticed to look elsewhere.

      “Disco” took his time (four seasons) but the mid-season draftee has been a shining light of Melbourne's campaign, improving to become a versatile option at either end of the ground. He has great marking skills which allows him to play as a marking target up forward or an intercepting defender down back.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #11 Max Gawn

      The skipper delivered another outstanding season, leading the team from the front, participating in every game, and earning club champion honours, while also securing an equal record eighth All-Australian blazer as a ruckman.  Max Gawn is arguably the greatest exponent of ruck skills in the history of the game; an exceptional leader who has guided the club to a premiership, through the challenging times that followed, and now into the next phase of its storied history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #12 Koltyn Tholstrup 

      It was a frustrating season for the former number 13 draft selection, who failed to build momentum in his second campaign; Tholstrup played only nine games, having been omitted twice and substituted out three times. However, he demonstrated promising signs in the midfield at Casey towards the end of the season, and big things are anticipated from him in the coming years.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

      Clayton Oliver, a four-time best and fairest winner at the club, has navigated a challenging period over the past two years, marked by injuries and personal issues, but has demonstrated promising signs suggesting a return to his optimal form in 2025. He is presently contracted to the club for an additional five years, with a substantial annual salary of approximately $1.7 million in the final seasons of his agreement. All at Melbourne are eagerly anticipating his resurgence to his previous peak performance levels.
