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!

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • 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.
