Ripped off at the All Australian…

Ah well, looks like we’ll just have to go and win the premiership, then!

    Zach Merritt give me a spell.

    You watch Jack go on Thursday Night.

     

    Merrett didn’t make it?

    Agree Viney should be ahead of Serong. Selectors counting possessions rather than influence or impact

    And ripped off at the Most Courageous. Honestly giving double awards to the same players, give me a spell !!!

    @binman - who besides Viney deserved to be in the AA team?

    So could not give a flying F about these awards anymore. Just popularity contests based on the so called experts in the media.

    Good on those who are recognised but it's just not what playing footy is about.

    Disappointed for Viney. Was hoping he'd at least male the bench and get his first AA but hopefully in a few weeks he gets something better and now he can focus on winning his 2nd premiership medal.

    Jack was robbed… 

    The thing is, some of the other teams have had a few standout players throughout the year but we have been missing continuity with some of our stars, like Clarry and Fritter, and guys like Petty. On top of that, we play as a team. Our wins have come from different guys standing up on different occasions. Kozzie has had a couple of blinders, as has Melk, as has ANB, as bad Maxxy and obviously as has Jack. It means we’re dangerous and unpredictable. I like that. 

    Doesn’t explain the outcome but maybe goes some way to explaining how we only managed one player in the AA team?

    Butters is a deserved winner. All the respect for Jack as he is tough as nuts.

     

    On a seperate note, I like that they’ve named true HBs  and wingers in the side. I doubt we will see the HFF side being recognised any time soon.

    Viney and Rivers were stiff, specially Rivers not even in the squad.

    Who are the bulls, the contested beasts in this team, they are all outside players.  
     

    If Jack cares hopefully this fuels him even more because he has been a man possesed this year.

    Dees are flying under the radar and personally I like it that way, we all know that we are really 2nd. We are a very even team focussed group that can shut teams down, change momentum score quickly when we can smell the blood in the water, we are well coached and well managed, Bring it On.!!!!!!

    Think you have your wires crossed. Merrett made the team, Langford did not.

    Silly awards. The Bont Most Valuable Player. He might be a great player BUT he goes missing every time that team really needs him to stand up.

    Methinks Trac will go home with a little Daicos clinging to each leg.

    Totally in awe they were of him.

    To leave Viney out shows how clueless they are. He has had a ripper year, easily one of the most consistent mids in the league.

    Has Josh Daicos really been that good or just caught up in his brother's hype? Serong, Merrett? Come on.

    Probably the worst AA team in a while...

    Yep, we'd comfortably take care of that team. We'd have to clone Trac of course.

    Every single year, without fail:

    1.  Player X (from my club) should have been selected.

    2.  Player Y (from another club) doesn't deserve his selection.

    3.  The selectors don't have any idea.

    4.  The selectors hate my club.

    Rinse and repeat.

    And every single year they get it wrong, particularly with captaincy

    There's actually no right answer believe it or not, as this award like all AFL awards is subjective.

    This is definitely a new age / changing of the guard team

    They say this every year. 

    2021 11 new players

    2022 12 new players

    2023 12 new players. 

    Half the team are truly elite. The other half just interchange.

    When we first got good I enjoyed seeing Melbourne players be a big part of these awards. Now I barely care. Jack won't either. 

    Bodes well and also makes logical sense that the two teams in the league that have now been top 4 the longest - us and Brisbane, have only 1 player each. It just means people don't notice how good we are anymore because they expect it, and because our contributions are very even across the side.

    100%. Same reason coach of the year always goes to most improved rather than most consistently good coach.

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
