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?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
