Everyone was better

even Jack Vineys improvement from the GC game to the rest of the season was massive.

Wonder if he was told that if he kept trying to break tackles instead of setting clarry or Trak loose he would lose his spot (no matter how much Goody loves him). Only mistake I can remember from him in a fantastic finals series was his kick deep inside 50 in the second quarter of the GF to   no Dees and 3 dogs.

    Kozzy for me, went from 7.13 goals last year to 40.28 this year!  Outstanding for any small forward let alone a 19yo one. 

    Gonna be a fan fav for a long time! 

    Jackson not far behind and Petty was excellent too.

    Harrison Petty for me, he fitted into the back 6 like a duck to water.

    The whole team has improved from that scrappy first game of the year against Freo.

    At  the business end starting in round 23 I have seen the most improvement in Tom Sparrow. Touted pre draft as Dangerfield like with his pace and strength he has gone form strength to strength, he is strong, quick and knows how to kick a goal. He is no longer the first one you think off to drop and has gone past Jones and now Melksham and is adding great depth to an already formidable midfield.

    Jackson deserves a mention because he is now clunking his marks and has so many strings to his bow.

    Just so many.. Wouldn't like to be the one to decide! As others have said though, Kozzy & Fritsch have improved immensley, Petty is a lock down back now, Gawn improved his tap-outs (less 'clever' to effective), Oliver running out of congestion, Angus doing Angus things (in a good way), ANB setting us up as the connector....Goodwin.

    Most improved…. Kicking

    a working forward line and goals to points ratio

    all timed perfectly to peak for the finals

    I think the bottom 4-6 players as a unit have all improved but the one player I noticed yelling at much less was ANB 😀 so he takes the cake.

    Most improved. Basically the whole team that played on GF day (incl Jordon) plus Hunt and Tomlinson 

    Top 3 

    Third place. Jayden Hunt. Showed real steel and attack from half back.  Was back to his 2016-17 form  

    Most improved runner up.  Kozzzy Pickett. Went from the potential to be, to being a dangerous small forward. 

    Most improved Winner. Most improved. Bailey Fritsch. 60 goals. Great year. Accuracy was the key.

    Everyone makes a good case here. 
     

    I’ll nominate Tomlinson. Absolutely [censored] myself when he went down. Would never have thought that would be the case. 
     

    Let’s get him a medal.

    I watch the after match celebrations and Pickett tried to give his medal to Neville Jetta but he refused the gesture, which make Pickett the most selfless.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.
