    Petracca is a lock and it’s good to see Viney get some recognition.
    May could consider himself a little stiff to miss the squad but wouldn’t be a realistic chance for the team.

    May should have made the squad as a minimum.

    Not the greatest AA squad I’ve seen named. Buddy to be the Captain? 

    One of the absolute worst.

    Sam Taylor didn't make it?!!!!

    It’s the giggle brothers most liked rather than true best in positions.  Pies are flavour of the month so get a stack.  Could easily cut 20 or so from this list.

    no Bont?  Come on!  This is a joke

    Bont is in, you need to press the imbedded image to see the full list.

    I love how bottom 8 sides got 3 players in but we couldn't get more than 2. Seems about right.

    Max shouldn't be in the AA conversation. But nor should Jackson.

    You know what I like most about our 2023 year?  The way that pretty much most of our players, all that we do and have done thus far seems to have gone under most commentators and opposition spectators radars….. all year long.
    I love it.  The Sydney game in such a hostile environment was absolutely fantastic.  We are serious contenders.  Can’t wait for September.

    What's the lowest number of AA selections for the team that wins the Premiership?

    Melbourne with 2 would be up there I'd say.

    I'm confused as only 36 players are in their list of 44 in the squad...?

    2 players for what is arguably a team finishing 2nd on the ladder. 

    Please, the disrespect that we continue to get from the media is an absolute farce. I hope there are some sore ego's from this and that they'll show the selector's how wrong they were in the coming weeks. 

    Also, what is the love for the bottom sides? Bar a handful of standout performances (Larkey). As a general rule if you are bottom 6, "Thank you, come again (next year)". 

    Im surprised Buckley just didn't name the entire CFC. Quaynor and Nick Daicos are the only ones deserving of the AA.

    Shows we are a very even side with team ethos trumping individual brilliance.

    I hope this makes the boys realise that nobody wants us to win. There’s no media story, no romance - just the best system and mindset of any team in the league.

    I’d be annoyed, if I didn’t think it was a sign of just what a good TEAM we are.

    So the all Australian Squad has come out and interestingly only Viney and Petracca are in it. 
     

    Pretty interesting considering we’re 4th on the ladder. 
     

    I don’t know if others think this is a damning indictment on the squad selection or this means that we have spread the load across all of our players so much that apart from Viney or Tracc, there haven’t been any other glaring standouts. 
     

    I view this as a good thing in a way. 
     

    Thoughts?

    There's tough competition for him but I hope Nick Larkey gets a jacket. Some effort to kick 71 goals in a team as bad as North were this year.

    He actually wins the Coleman if you remove the goals Walker and Curnow kicked against West Coast and North.

    He absolutely deserves a jacket.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
