    The clubs get to suggest to the AFL someone present the cup if we win.

    It has to be someone already in WA.  Fox's ideas.

    • Garry Lyon - club great
    • Shane Woewodin - 2000 Brownlow medallist; played in our last GF.
    • Ken Melville 1953 Bluey winner.  played in 1955 and 1956 premierships
    • Adam Yze - played in our last GF
    • Glen Bartlett - immediate past President
    • Kate  Roffey - current President

    On premiership credentials Ken Melville would get the nod.  He is 90 and if able I think is the one.

    Otherwise Garry would be my choice.   

    My dream was for Barassi - legend without peer and last MFC captain to raise the cup.

    Failing that, I'm a huge fan of connection between current success and the rich premiership history of our great club, so to have a premiership winning past player such as Ken Melville present the cup would be fantastic.

    Woewodin would have an interesting contemporary slant - certainly his 2000 Brownlow and having played in our most recent past Grand Final provide relevance, but what an amazing recompense such a gesture would make given the ungainly manner his exit from the club was handled, and then there's the prospect of us possibly drafting his son Taj via father-son...?

    If the Dogs get up, is Brad Hardie going to present the cup? 😉

    In the perfect world, outside Barass, I would like David Neitz to do it, he represented our modern struggle and is our leading game player. (Much like Richo doing it for the Tigers in 2017)

    But Lyon, despite his foibles, was one of our finest players and captains and is the obvious and worthy choice.

    Gazza will more than likely do it.

    Remote outside chances: Darren Kowel or Earl Spalding

    Would love to have Tulip or Jimmy as options, but alas.... RIP.

    Got to win it first, though!

    On the off chance that Nathan Jones is still there, he would be the most worthy and deserving of the honour.

    Honestly if we win I wouldn't care, it could be Donald Duck and I'd still be cheering mad...  Most likely Garry Lyon since he is here in the west and the most high profile.  There are a few of the old premiership players living in WA but they aren the most famous :)

    Gaz easily. It would be great to see one former captain give it to the current one.

    A shame it can't be in Melbourne because barrassi would have been 1st choice

    The petition to allow Neale Daniher into WA to present the cup was ridiculous. The organisers failed to ask Neale whether he would actually want to do that. And, in fact, he said that he didn't.

    Have Max present it to himself. The only bloke in the comp that could pull that off. 

    Huge tick for this idea Queanbetan.

    It won't happen of course but it would be an event and television for the ages.

    Daisy Pearce is over there commentating I reckon she is an outside chance.

    Everytime I read this thread someone has come up with nothing short of another brilliant idea.

    Daisy and Garry?

    Really Great and all that Daisy is comparing her contribution to Melb at this stage it would be an insult to Neiter  Stynes Todd V Schwartz and many others Hassan Mann included.

    Glen Bartlett is already in WA also.

    Let Daisy shine in the AFLW at this stage please and maybe play in a flag this year. 
    I also include her role in propelling W footy greatly but plenty in AFL have deserved this honour prior to our much loved No 1 AFlW star.

    Rob, Nathan has flown back to Melbourne already, to be with his partner who’s about to give birth to twins.

    The lack of respect to Garry Lyon as a past Captain on here always astounded me. 
    Maybe a lot of you didn’t see him play. 
    The bloke was a deadset legend in a very tough and violent era

    If he presents the cup to Max and the team, good luck to him. He was the Captain during all the merger [censored]

    I knew someone would reply accordingly.  It was about the principle rather than an afl/aflw issue.

    Can people stop saying Glen Bartlett.

    That would be a complete insult to Simon Goodwin.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
