Seems right to me from Melbourne’s perspective 

May and Lever could get there in the second half if they get back to their best

    Petracca Captain probably by unanimous player vote, but by Media and AFL vote Moore who is a bighead

    Love Trac, but Moore is captain of the team on top of the ladder. He’s definitely the logical and worthy captain for the AA team at this stage.

    Pretty reasonable side. Only player inclusion I question is  Neales inclusion. That as well as the traditional lack of respect that wing is a specialist role and not just the place you extend the centre square mids you want to include to avoid tough decisions.

    I’d say Toby Greene as caption, judging by last years criteria - which was clearly to pick a captain that annoyed as many people as possible.

    Trac and Clarry will be locks for the next few years. It's disappointing that nobody else has really put their hand up so far - Gawn, Salem, May, Lever, Fritsch, Pickett and Langdon were all in the conversation this time two years ago. That could potentially be a good thing in the back half of the year. Lots of very good players who can lift.

    and half back, Jordan Dawson is a 247 inside mid imo. Not a HB flanker.

    The only reason Moore is in this side at all is because Petty went to the Forward line and Moore's old man demanded it.

    A good tough mobile CHF would murder him. We have two at the moment coming up.

    I’d love to see a stats based AA side that removes all ambiguity and bias.

    1. most goals  + contested marks inside 50 = FF

    2. most effective hit outs + clearances  + contested marks  + score involvements = Ruck

    3. # Disposals + contested possessions + clearances + pressure acts = Rover

    etc.

    This can all be weighted based on opponents  played and other factors that give a more rounded assessment as opposed to Pies getting 5 players because they are on top. 

    I think it’ll throw up some interesting results and we are likely to recognise a broader range of players and just favourites if the media (which make up most of the AA selection panel)

    Lloyd and Robbo leaving Oliver out  is surprising given the form of Clarry and the fact that he is equal 6th to win the Brownlow. He is having another fine season. We will see how the final and official AA team ends up.

    Also ticks the required box to have ‘beaten someone up with a crutch at Zagames’ before

    I'd be leaving Serong out if anyone was the be left out. Has been getting a lot of it all season but it's only the last month he's really been doing anything with it and hurting opposition. He can be a bit of a crab handballing and kicking sideways often.

    All that would be is Champion data picked AA teams, how lifeless.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
