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...

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
