favourite win: vs tigers on anzac eve, even tho i think the wins over footscray and the bears were bigger in the context of the season

one in game highlight: kosi ducks, kosi weaves, kosi goals (rd 2 vs aints)

other random highlights: viney goal after about 20 seconds in rd 2 vs aints, having full confidence that lever will mark everything that comes near him, ben brown's first lillee-esque run up and goal...oh, and also winning the first 9 games of the season!

Top 5 in the Bluey: Oliver, Gawn, Petracca, Lever, Salem

Most improved (other than T Mac): in order, i'd go Pickett, Lever, Salem - they've all gone from very good players to at least all oztrayan squad of 40 inclusions

Favourite win - Can’t split Anzac Eve and the Sydney victory.
Anzac Eve, special occasion, big crowd and Jonesy’s 300th. Tigers brought the heat early and we took over quickly. 

The Sydney game, probably the most brutal and physical match I’ve seen us play in this year. High pressure and they challenged us all night, both sets of supporters were loud and it was a terrific atmosphere.

In game highlight - T Mac’s left foot goal against the Swans after bursting out of a pack.

Random highlight - Salem’s overall game against the Saints. He was simply brilliant that night.

Favourite win: vs Bulldogs because that followed the loss to Adelaide therefore many fans were expecting (and accepting) a loss to the Dogs was on the cards. 
My personal favourite moment: vs Carlton, Kozzie gesturing the touched goal. Honesty and integrity right there.

Favourite Win

Comeback against Brisbane - was so very un-Melbourne like in that it was a clinical and measured comeback correcting deficiencies at half time & going 11 wins mid season on a Friday night was pretty special feeling post match. Said a lot about the maturity of the group.

one game highlight 

Trac’s goal early in the last against Richmond - was very Dusty like !! Hoping he can do stuff like that in September 

other random highlight 

Kozzie’s 2Q goal against the Saints - looked great on TV loved the curl on the ball as he snapped it

Favorite win: Has to be the win against the bulldogs for me. With that win I started to have confidence in the team and the players. There were (and still are) a lot of questions being asked of us and with each winning game we answer more of the questions.

Game Highlight; TMac's goal against Brisbane after the best in close buildup work I have seen from the Demons. Love the movement and handballs that worked to get the ball free and moving forward from the wing. The goal was icing on the cake.

Other random highlight: the quality and consistence of Salem's games. He has always had the talent and ability but this season he has really put it all together.

Top 5 in the Bluey: Petracca, Oliver, Gawn have to be in that group but after that there are more than a few that could fill the last two spots. Lever, May and Salem in defence. Langdon from the wing has to be in the discussion. In the forward 50 you might get TMac or Fristch sneaking in. 

Most improved: again, a few that could be in the discussion. Rivers is on a steep improvement arc for me as is Spargo. Charlie does not get a lot of the ball at the moment but puts in a lot of work putting pressure on the opposition defenders. When he does have the ball in hand he uses it very, very well. His game compliments Pickett's nicely.

Thanks dee - you need some stamina to get to the end of it but it is important to use the mid season bye to get some solid training loads in to prepare for the rest of the season.

Top 5: E.Langdon, T.Mac, C.Oliver, C.Petrraca, J.Lever.

Most Improved: Dead Heat J.Jordan/C.Spargo

Could have listed 3-5 more players in the mix for the Bluey, Notably Max would by his own admissions agree he has not been anywhere near his best this season.

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
