Caleb Serong are they fugging serious?

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

Ripped off at the All Australian…

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

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?

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.

Imagine if he becomes a Norm Smith medallist? 🔥

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.

Merrett was on the bench.

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

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.

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    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
