Any defenders from the best defence in the league?  I mean come on   Hawks, Freo and Essendon with 3 players. Melbourne with 2.  Tom Stuart ahead of Lever and May? FMD what a

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.

I'm glad that Viney has finally gained some recognition. One of the most underrated midfielders in the league.

Collingwood, Collingwood, Brisbane, Brisbane, Carlton, Carlton … the media and their shiny objects.

Did you notice the huge amount of airtime Goody got for contract extension.

They can keep shinning these teams small objects all they like... as long as we're shinning our new premiership medals at the end on the finals

I made a catastrophic error and foolishly made another topic about this…

 

But in it I said, I don’t think this list is wrong necessarily. Maybe May and Lever yes (I’d take both over Stewart but I’m probably biased), but our backline load has been shared around a fair bit I reckon. Mcvee has been awesome back there, Bowey cops a bit of flack but he wins more than he loses and is a very reliable kick out of the backline. 
 

English and Marshall are ahead of Gawn this year I’d say. Right now, I’d take Marshall over English. I think Marshall is underrated if anything. Jackson is WELL below these two. 
 

My point is, i don’t think we’ve had too many stand out players as we really have been playing as a team for so much of the year that it makes it hard to find too many standouts, outside of Viney, Tracc, May and Lever. 
 

Been a great collective year in my opinion.

Nothing would be funnier than watching us lift the premiership cup with only one player in the AA team, because lets be honest Viney won't make the final team. Gotta make room for Dusty, Stewart and De Goey.

Viney > De Goey. 
 

There’s not even a discussion to be had.

I honestly didn't expect Gawn to make the squad, as he had an injury interrupted season and English and especially Marshall have been wonderful this year.

However for Jackson to make it over Gawn is a pathetic call.

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

Surely no Bont is an oversight. Selectors dead set lost the plot

Buckley is a selector. De Goey is a lock.

Yeah true. De Goey gets plaudits because he does ‘spectacular’ things from time to time. Viney consistently does the hard in and under work. So, not very sexy.

The Tigers never had more than 2 selected in any of their flag years. 2017 Rance and Martin, 2019 Grimes and Houli and 2020 only Martin.  The AA team is not always a good indicator of who is the best team in club land.

Obviously the 5 weeks in a row of Freo fans absolutely blasting the kid for poor efforts are well forgotten now.

YES! This is definitely the case for us. Team footy over depending on individual performances. 
 

I’ll take it every year. Easy to stand out in a team that is doing poorly.

FMD what a joke.

Best defensive team due to structure, it's easier to pick out players from teams whose whole defence is on one blokes shoulders.

Think it is fair enough. May hasn't had a bad year but fewer stand out games as last year. Max left his run too late. 

Goodwin will use this as ammunition that it is all about the team and not individuals. 

Personally, I hate this annual 'what about him' and the whole conspiracy against my team [censored] that goes on with supporters every year.

Melbourne are a team, not a group of individuals!

Who selects the selectors?

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
