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. 

Gees that was a big night. Hope the month of September pans out the same.

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

Bloody hell well done Maxy!!

A leader and a star. 
It has been a serious night. 


Clean sweep tonight, lets keep it coming in September Mighty Dees.

Congratulations to Captain Max, Trac, Clarry, Rick and Maysie on All Australian selection.

Big Congratulations to Action 'Dogga' Jackson on the Rising Star Award also.

Fan [censored] tastic.

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

Yep just Brownlow, Norm Smith and Flag now. Easy done. 

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...

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
