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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
