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...

    • 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.
