Sad to see Gary Jnr end his career. Best player I’ve ever seen. Best player in the league from 2007-2014. 2 Browlows. 5 time MVP. 8 time All Australian.

Congratulations Gary. Superstar!

Pity he chased money. He would have at least one more flag bid wager he’d have 4 medals. 
amazing player but why he went to Gold Coast in his prime only he can answer

Very hard to split Dangermouse, paul newman and Cotchin for the best free kick of the game competition.

But Jack won the best "look at me" award.....

$$$$$$ Cash ? 

He’ll regret it if he doesn’t already. Be a millionaire at the cats and win more flags or get more money at the suns and play in front of 5K fans

I’d just like to thank the folks on here for pointing out that we passed on Dusty twice in the draft. 

I had no idea!

thanks guys, keep it up! ??

Yep and have a look at the list of players on that draft that were picked up after Gysberts and Tapscott

Hats off to the Tigers, who I hate with a passion. Their work as a club and a team over the past 5 seasons is amazing. They won tonight with betteer team play, winning significant moments, and having Dusty wandering around outclassing everyone.

Ablett jr: I put him up there with Matthews, Ablett snr, and Carey as the best players I have seen. And among this group, he is definitely the most complete. If you rated all the skills of th game, her would be 8.5+ for each of them. The others in my list rarely tackled, shepherded or did the defensive stuff. Ablett jnr did. Absolute star and footy is less for him leaving.

Dusty is a freak. His kicking skills are up there with Jarman and Trav Johnstone. His balance and ability to stay on his feet whether running, marking, being tackled are magical. just so strong over the footy.

On Dusty, I know a few people at Castlemaine FC (I grew up nearby) and I was talking to someone on the committee when Dusty was there. At 16yo, as training was finished, Dusty would be out there alone for another 1/2 half hour taking shots from all along the 50m arc, with both feet on the run and from set shot. They had to ask him to finish up to turn the lights out. At 17 you, he could beat many senior footballers one-on-one. Absolute gun - love watching him.

But bl***y hell, if we don't win flag soon I'm going to explode. So tired of seeing every other half-arsed club and player winning flags.

Anyone putting Dangerfield and Dusty in the same conversation need to stop. He is so far ahead. Danger had a poor game. Dusty loves the big stage

hawkins is another who choked. Marked close to goal and played on for a snap? Take your time and take  the pressure

I didn't like Lee at all... but please inform me, which one of those highlights would have resulted in Lee being rubbed out?

I didnt not even look at his highlights. Are you suggesting highlights cover all his games. Gees I am over people here who want to argue the toss all the time.

Matthews was a vicious thug who played in an era that turned a blind eye to most of his work

Melbourne have to get mentally tough and the way to do it ???????   A preseason with the Tigers is the answer.

For those saying we passed on dusty, stop complaining. We didn't have any leadership back then like a cotchin to take under his wing and he would have left us years ago when we were a rabble. 

He would have got so frustrated with us. 

Tragic. We are now at the stage where we think we did well by not taking the best player.

    2024 Player Reviews: #18 Jake Melksham

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #8 Jake Lever

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club. Date of Birth:  22 July 1997 Height:  189cm Games MFC 2024:  21 Career Total: 183 Goals MFC 2024: 3 Career Total: 54 Brownlow Medal Votes: 5

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward. Date of Birth: 16 April 2003 Height: 193cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 41 Goals MFC 2024: 30 Career Total: 58 Brownlow Medal Votes: 1
