I'm still surprised Neale got a vote against us in the final round 

Neale got a vote with only 21 possies against us (equal 9th best) in a 10 goal loss

    Hate to be one of those people but definitely felt rigged.

    Got off from suspension and polls in the last round, 3 votes, when he wasn't even close to it. Daicos best on by a mile.

    Also polled 3 vs Adelaide when they got absolutely destroyed.

    Bizarre outcome.

    Magnifying glasses out on the appeal process please. Right up until Thurs night they were working this one out while the teams for the next week had been announced. It's a joke

    Not a vote for May or Fritsch.  Bizarre

    Not that unusual though, forwards or backs don't get votes, has been 30 years since a non midfielder won (Scott Wynd)

    Freo Bradshaw didn't have the best finish o the season.

    Neale as pointed out ha no competition in the midfield, its him and daylight at the lions.

    Oliver still may, he had a great finish to the season, even in our losses. 

     

    That's just not true. Neale has to contend with Jarrod 'Please don't hurt me Clayton' Berry.

    To be fair, Tracc scored very highly as well. Probably becomes hard for umpires to choose between them. I'm just happy with those two having an outstanding year

    And it’s going to really make either of them winning one difficult.

    Maybe they should instead aim for the Norm Smiths.

    Was good seeing Jeremy Cameron poll well. Not meaning to be pro-cat just pro-votes for non-midfielders aha

    I wouldn't have begrudged Cripps a brownlow in his career but this season didn't seem right. Thought he dropped off a bit and the non suspension sucked 

    Anyone who went to the pre season game and witnessed Cripps absolutely destroy us would have seen that he had got his body right and was in for a huge season.

    Cripps is an arrogant and irrelevent person

    Doesn't come across as arrogant. Maybe we could have had him to speak to LJ about living in Melbourne and dealing with it

    There's no way this brownlow was above board, there's just no way. Please start the investigation now, we'll stay with this all night if we have to.

    Agree. How much would it cost for an official investigation? 

    Cripps would even acknowledge within himself that he did not deserve that. 

    What a stitch-up. They even gave Neale 1 vote in the last game to make it appear closer. can think of 8-9 players that deserved a vote before Neale. 

    Joke.

    My impression was the same. However, Neale actually got 29 possessions (2nd most on the field) and the highest AFL Fantasy Points on the ground (whatever that means).

    Still, the game was set up in the 1st half and surely with an 11 goal lead at half time, Melbourne players should have been 3/2/1 in that game.

    • 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.
