Does that put the talk of us lacking on-field leadership to bed?

Well done to Max and the boys named AA.

...and as they would say, you can't get there without the rest of the team working with you on and off ground.

A great effort by the club to rebuild from the rabble we were.

I'm sure they will do us proud in the finals ahead.

 

Would this be the best year for individual success at the MFC?

5 As players

Coaches association winner

Rising star 4 nominations and winner

Brownlow???  Norm Smith?... Too far?

Wowee go Dee's.

Did I mention sack Goodwin?.... Some old habits die hard

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

Nearly a third of our team is AA! This is unprecedented for us.

But yeah, after tonight, back to business boys. No more smiles. No wild celebrations etc until the job is done.

 

 

To hear Oliver give such massive credit to Goody was great to hear. Sounds like he has been a real mentor and guide for Clarry. 

he has the talent but you don’t put a season in like that without help. Goody is the quiet achiever. The boys love him.

 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!

To be fair May was a gun full back for Gold Coast too! Perhaps in a stronger team he would have received more recognition.

Great that Petracca is an All - Australian. But as a half forward? As well as the Bont, it feels a little farcical.

I think it’s amazing bont and trac genuinely play pure on ball roles and have a level of productivity in front of goal that they can push out a full time fwd, in the past Danger and Martin would split there time fwd and mid to have his output. Still it would be good to have them named 1 and 2 mids next to Gawn as the premier followers they are but alas.

Congrats to Clarry, Trac, Rick, Maysie and Gawny on their All Australian selection


Thanks for this commentary everyone! As some have said, and no doubt everyone has thought, What. A. Night.

Apart from the Charlie/Flag/Norm trifecta, one other item to tick off to make it a quaddie: Coach(*) Of The Year.

(*which would be 'Coaches' in our case)

 

 

 

(Quiet note to AFL: it's 'centre', not 'center')

Awesome haul and all thoroughly deserved.

Most happy for Maysy. I’m still annoyed at his farcical non-selection last year where he should’ve been a shoe in for the 22 and didn’t even make the damn squad.

Give him another 3 blazers and I’ll be over it. Maybe.

But they prefaced the two wingers' selections based on the improvements in their inside games.....

Not sure why Maysie didn't get the nod at full forward given he's had a couple of pings at goals this year.

I chuckled when Merrett was described as the best winger in the game. No he's not. Langdon is the best winger in the league. 

Scooped the pool! Well done to our guys there was no question at all about them deserving to be in it. Great stuff!

I hope in the future there will two AA teams selected. So many of the choices are subjective. Who can say Harris Andrews in better than May?  Players need to be selected for actual positions and not cluttered with too many midfielders. There is also an opportunity for actual match ups say like Gawn vs Niknat. 

Last year there was a post on Instagram  that had goals scored against May throughout last season, Harris Andrews numbers weren’t nearly as good but went on to be selected.

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

May you and @Pennant St Dee be there to plant the Grand Old Flag!

I don’t think Fritsch should have made the final team but I would have had him over Papley.

Jake Stringer and Weitering were both extremely unlucky to miss.

Being involved in a defence that conceded 19 unanswered goals probably didn’t help. Nick Larkey also kicked 7 on him. 

Great result for the club but also for the development & culture implemented when you consider the train wreck Roos inherited back in 2014, lets hope the players are still hungry chasing the ultimate success !

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
