Selwood with the Jim Stynes award 🤮 

Just came here to post those exact words

🤮

 

Joel winning the Stynes award partly for his Auskick work which is a paid gig to skirt the salary cap. 


Pretty good speech, and well appreciated.

Joel Selwood is a pain on the field but gee he spoke well and nice words about Jim.

It was nicely written but he read it like he has permanent brain damage 

 

Hahahahaha Clarry with 2 votes against Collingwood. 
Umpires are a disgrace.

If he loses by a vote this game will be heavily discussed. Mihocek had just an average forward game.

 Cox was best on ground not Clarry anyway 

Where’s the fast forward button?

Didn't he kick 4?

Incorrect. Cox became influential when Gawn went off. Oliver had 43 touches and a goal for Christ’s sake. That is a performance neither Cox nor Mihocek could ever replicate.

Reminds me of that ad 'Mate, did you get a head knock on the weekend?'

And the last forward to kick 4 goals in a game and get 3 Brownlow votes ahead of a dominant midfielder performance is who?

A ruckman or key forward is highly unlikely to have 43 touches, you are correct. But Oliver was wasteful with the ball and turned it over or hot potatoed it to team mates, it wasn’t his best game. Cox was a monster behind the ball and forward. That Gawn was dealing with a nasty injury is irrelevant. Gun Midfielders get 30 every week. 40 is impressive but means little by itself. Tom Mitchell has had 40 multiple times with little impact

Yep and won a Brownlow even tho he isn’t half the player Clarry is. Makes you think.

Oliver had 6 turnovers from 43 disposals that day.

Cox had 7 turnovers from 21 disposals.

 

The umpires are the worst possible judges for awards like this.

 

I just don’t think the umps like Clarry

  • 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.
