Should a guy who missed 4 weeks from committing a sickening bump be eligible for any awards?
I know he’s excluded from the brownlow but I don’t think he should be lauded this year.

Gosh.  So many posters complaining so much about something that ultimately means so little.

I’ll remind you of that the next time you pull me up for using the wrong ‘there’.

Other than Hawkins being named captain, it's actually a really decent side.  I'd have swapped Hawkins for Lynch but otherwise it's hard to see who didn't deserve to be in there.  Congratulations to Gawn who is clearly the best ruckman since Dean Cox. 6 AA's puts him in rare air.  Oliver will be there soon enough, and well done to Petracca and May on their achievements.

Hawkins, Saad and Stengle for starters.

Good team.

Who’s Captain?

Not Geelong's.

Still cant work out how Saad made it over Brayshaw

It’s so Geelong cAn have more players in the team. 

Watching a bit delayed here to many of you and literally Tom Hawkins quote when being interviewed since being awarded AA captain "I don't think I've ever been a captain before" (does he mean like not even for a single game at some point?) - wow. 

All the gushing of the Fox/360 commentary team over him being captain.  I think I'm going to vomit.

I don't have such a problem with the Tomohawk being picked as a forward - he's a beast and freak of nature to still be performing so well down there in that role at his age.

And how does Andrew Brayshaw get the AFLPA MVP award and only a position on the bench of the AA team?

I would have swapped him with Cripps.

Felt like Brayshaw stiff not to at least make the bench, not sure rozee had that good of a year. One again no wings, with the way the transition game is played these days they are one of the most important roles in any serious team, no coincidence that all the best sides have at least one good winger.


Remember the dark days when Melbourne supporters begrudgingly accepted none of our players making AA team and celebrated when Mark Jamar finally got a jacket?

Times have certainly changed!

It could be said that Gus has played multiple positions over the season and perhaps that could have cost him.

...not that it made any sort of difference to the Hawkins selection.

Agree though.  Gus is very stiff.

Really glad for May to be finally getting the recognition.  Could have been 3AAs for him as he was pretty bloody good in 2021 as well from memory.

Yes, now we have jumped so far over the shark that we are angry about who leads this NON-EXISTENT TEAM

We're here to win back to back premierships.  The rest is just a sideshow.

Then don't read it. You saw the topic title. Hawkins named captain is a joke and embarrassing to the AFL and needs to be called out.

The obvious injustice won't affect our flag chances or focus as supporters. Gawns snub as best AFL captain may even further unite the team. 

Clarrie won the only non AFL judged award. There lies the truth. 

Agree about the ultimate goal though. Back to back is what counts.

Crap like this makes it sweeter.

May was AA in 2021.

Or Lachie Neale?

Possibly, Brayshaw should have been in though for sure.

Could someone explain why (edited name ) Robbo is using this occasion to raise the Zorko/ Petty incident?

FMD!!! He is the chief football writer for a major paper.

The standard of "journalism" in this country is a joke.

Yes they were trying to stir up Goody, but he's too smart for a couple of hacks." I suppose we should ask how Mr Petty is" WTF, and then your loungeroom looks better. SIMON..F' off..

I'm actually surprised he made it. Had a good year but not as good as last year. Was injured in the first quarter against the Dockers, missed the next two games and then took a few games to get back in the groove after his dust-up.

He is an absolute gun and funnily enough is still underrated by most of the football world, except those who really matter, the coaches. 
 

Also a great player to tie with. Touk Miller is a star. Love to watch him play. Will probably win the Brownlow. 

I used to live next door to Clarko. I had an argument with him about who was better out of Oliver and Cripps.

1 to Wrecker 0 for Clarko.

When we payed Carlton I noticed Cripps tagging Oliver a few times at centre bounces. Oliver would get away from him and Cripps was following him.

You won't see Clarry tagging anyone. Cam.you.imagime if he got a free run.at the ball.

 

Some effort Maxy Gawn. Head and shoulders best ruck in the land. And captain. He’ll add more jackets too. Will he make it to 10 I wonder? 

 

Hawkins deserves his spot in the team. He’s been a great forward and to still be doing it as his age is phenomenal. Naming him captain is just weird though.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
