Well done to Wines. He had a good year and always fights hard for the footy.

The voting was a bit stuffed tonight as always. The umpires can’t seem to get any decisions right it seems!

 

Geeze bont has cracked the sads.

 

Unpopular opinion but I don't think the votes in the crows game were too far off the mark. Seedsman really was a clear best on ground, and most of Fritch's goals came in junk time. Oliver got 28 touches but only went at 53% disposal efficiency.

Wines a great year but there's really no competetion for him other than Boak. Puts up big stats but not as impactful as Bont or Oliver for mine.


Good win to Wines. 

I'm a bit bothered by Adelaide getting the 2 and 3 in a 40 point loss to us, but Oliver wouldn't have caught Wines even with those votes.

Fritsch kicked a bag in junk time. Not worth more than 1 vote

And yet the coaches have him a perfect 10. But what would they know…..

28. 2 behinds. 
Not his best. 
I’m just confused how a man that kicks 7 goals gets less votes when his team wins by 41 points than two players on a losing side. 
The mind boggles. 

Yeah, it was a weird set of votes overall since we were the easy winners.   But a GF win is more important that any Brownlow. Really good results for the club overall in the voting though.  But gap between Bont and the rest of his teammates though.

If we took wines we probably don't take Clayton. I know who I prefer

Different recruiters and I can promise you Taylor would have taken Clarry. We are trying to get Cerra atm when we have a good midfield. You always take the best and Taylor thought at pick 4 Clarry was the best.

I’m sure Clarry would rather a premiership medal than a Brownlow. The most overrated medal in the game.

Congratulations Ollie Wines, great season.

A friend messaged me to say “Wines wins Brownlow and you got Toumpas”

Pretty easy to guess what I said next.

Surely we’re right up there for the team vote

If anything Clayton was robbed by the lightning strike the week before the Adelaide game. We were coasting ahead when it happened and I don’t think any of our players did well after the return to play. If not for the break, a fit player like Clarrie could have gone on to well over 30 possessions - as it was he finished on 28.

Wines can have his brownlow he won't have a premiers medal. C'mon Dees let's win the big one.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
