    He's played 15 games.

    I guess that could be a reason why he didn't make it.

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

    May has had a better season than Stewart & Viney should go close to winning B&F from Trac -  should get a bench position.

    A champion team over a team of champions any day.

    And each will get their kudos from those whose opinions they value most.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Buckley is a selector. De Goey is a lock.

    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

    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.

    What a horrible squad:

    Weitering, Jackson, Quaynor, and Redman should not be in anywhere near that team.  Weitering is not good enough to tie May’s shoe laces

    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 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?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
