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.

    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 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 !

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • NON-MFC: Round 14

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
