how can you have all midfielders on the bench and both wings?

don't defenders get rotated?

This team is a joke if picked on actual positions. There are like 19 midfielders and only one actual defender in May. It’s a bit of a joke.

    I actually just counted it out Jaded. I reckon they've put 10 out and out midfielders into the side. 10!!

    I’m just so proud of the boys but more so  of being a supporter who’s stuck it out with them. 
    We’ve arrived, but the summit is ahead. @Pollyanna

    What a great night of individual awards for our beloved Dees …..  but I’m sure they all know full well, that there are bigger fish to fry.

    I'm hoping after the year the boys have had the whole side chisels in their names as true legends of the Melbourne football club forever more.

    And on a different tangent.
    5 all Australians and finished the season minor premiers.
    After all these years it's surreal stuff.
    Hope the next few weeks blows our freakin minds.

    Max as Captain, everyone grow a beard for the finals, I'm not shaving anyway!!! 

    The Fox Footy promo 'History is in Front' for the QF game is the best ever, anyone know how to capture it for you tube?

    Lets hope he goes from all Australian captain to premiership captain. 

    But I did laugh when he said that comment about dreaming of becoming a premiership player before becoming a dad. 

    But well done on how hard he has worked over the years. A shame Jim isn't here to see the great work he did with him that work rubbed off on him and the person he is now.

    It’s absolutely not about individual awards, but recognition of individual players who have worked so hard all year to help make their team better is always nice. I’m especially proud of May. He’s 29 and he’s really brought himself into this position the last two year by sheer hard work. Well done!

    I recall in 2000 when Daniher and everyone went gaga when Woey won the brownlow. I think it upset us that week and we were happy to be participating in a GF.

    We aren't there yet but I sense these boys are a lot more grounded and will park their exceptional awards and re-focus very quickly on the work to be done.

     

    Go Dees

    Incredible night really, all well deserved awards, and hopefully the precursor of bigger things to come.

    I'm in tears watching this. The kids had to ask me what was wrong. Will we win any more?

    Meanwhile Petracca says "I'm proud to be one of five Melbourne players ... " and the commentators do an eye-roll. 

    I guess we don't win any more?

    Yeah somehow I think they’ll appreciate this more when the season/career is done. Right now they’ll be focused on Sat night.

    Max Gawn has an AA guernsey for ~every 30 games he’s played. The best ratio in history. 

    unbelievable

    We literally won everything, as Daisycutter said our salary capped is cooked.

    The words Oliver said about Goody, that boy ain't going nowhere.

    Let's hope we clean sweep the Charlie, Norm Smith and Premiership too.

    Why don’t all the awards happen at the end of the year? 

    so hard for players to enjoy them when nothing has been achieved. A lot of nervous grins...

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

      Following an injury-interrupted start to the season, McVee struggled to maintain the standard he established in 2025 as he pursued an expanded role within the team structure. He remained a firm fan favourite and the club had hoped to negotiate a new contract with the former rookie selection from Western Australia, whose partner, Lily Johnson, plays for Melbourne's AFLW side. Those hopes were dashed when he expressed his desire to return to his home state and play for Fremantle. Like all players who have worn the red and blue and are leaving this year, we wish him well in the future.
