The backline will be interesting

There isnt much competition for the true FB, CHB. Its between May, Weitering &   Stewart  probably ends up taking one of the pockets and i think Maynard gets the other pocket.

I think Gus will be close to securing one of the HB roles, given his defensive form and recent time in the midfield, which ticks both boxes. 

Trac and Oliver are 100% locks. Gawn will be likely (pairing up with Witts for the ruck combo). Having 5 players in the team will be a tough ask, given Geelong are unlikely to have that many.

    Fair selections. You'd reckon Oliver, Trac, May and Max will get jackets.

    Fritta and Brayshaw next season!

    Lingers struggled the second half of the year and many here were calling on Kozzie to be dropped half way through the year!

    Reckon Melksham, Spargo and Ben Brown are stiff (but only because I like to annoy people on Demonland).

    surely ANB gets a nomination for the best spew of the season

    I think May is actually a bit lucky. 

    Has Had an average 2nd half year compared to last year. He has been in most people's AA teams by default

    Lingers stiff but the truth is he doesn’t handle a tag very well, maybe that’s why he missed

    Only 2 rucks, and Gawn [censored] all over Witts.

    Delighted for Fritta. 50 goals - best medium forward in the AFL by a country mile.

    Sam Taylor is a lock for one of the KPB positions. May should get the nod ahead of Weitering and Stewart for the other, and I'd imagine Stewart would get the BP position. Maynard should get the other BP position, and the half backs should go to Daniel Rioli and Sinclair.

    He’s been a bit off his best but at the same time since he came back from his break he’s easily beaten Daniher twice and taken care of Walker, McKay, Hawkins and Naughton. 

    Unless I’ve forgotten someone the only key forward who’s really got away on him was Peter Wright early in the year

    Playing half a season of ordinary football probably played a role too

    I’d have Wilkie in a back pocket, such a great shut down defender. And I’d have Sicily over Taylor, just does so much more.

    Stewart CHB, Maynard back flank. Rioli’s been great but only need 1 rebounding defender

    Jeez max could go 5 in a row!

    He should go 6 in a row. Witt's has been pretty good but no where in the Max tier. I'd only go one ruckman. I get having 2 when Grundy and gawn where both playing at the same high level but no ruckman could claim to be at Max's level this year

    No Maynard? I think he’s had a very very good year.

    If Max gets his sixth jumper that puts him ( deservedly) into rarified company.

    Max is so bloody good his "average" performances get underrated . Yet an "average" performance from Max is light years ahead of the best from almost any ruckman I can remember.

    Plus he is an outstanding captain.

    Absolute champion of the game

    I think Sinclair has had a better year so much so that they had to put a tagger on him.

    No ifs about it he WILL get his 6th AA jacket.

    • 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.
