Tom Stewart making the team is an absolute joke. Has had an average season and Geelong’s defence has been ****house this year. I genuinely hate Harris Andrews and I’m no Weitering fan, but to have Stewart before them is ridiculous and the AA selectors are just playing favourites.

    I have Tracc and Vines being equal 1ST . Stand by for a shock... Lachie Hunter to finish 4th or 5th in Bluey IMV

    Those that want Hunter dropped every second week NFI.

    AA is as big a joke as the Brownlow these days.

    It's all media driven, boring and cringeworthy.

    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. 

     

     

    Spot on.

    Curnow kicked 3 goals in two games against a quality full back in Steven May..  

    Defensive selections dubious in the extreme with Sicily, Stewart and Moore (who is off the boil for a while) .

    Andrews deserved better. But Viney missing out the worst.

    Just win the flag team.

    Jackson LOL. First 6 weeks the supporters wanted their money back

     

    He had 7 games with 10 hitouts or less. Never took more than 7 marks and had limited disposals in 9 games

     

    If that's an AA then I'm a monkeys uncle

    I’m not fussed one way or the other about the AA team. Bigger fish to fry.

    I do question the Jackson selection though. Watched him a lot during the death ride and he put in a lot of mediocre performances. Some standout performances for sure but if that is all that’s required I reckon Gawn more worthy of the jacket

    Congrats Trac, but someone like Zach Merrett ahead of Viney? Are you [censored] kidding me?

    Yep AF, a massive Congratulations to Trac. His 4th blazer got lost in the wash a bit.

    Trac became the third most capped Demon ever behind Gawn (6) and Paxy (5).

    Serong I can deal with. Zach Merrett? Had some ripper games but had some total honkers as well.

    Daicos rover is interesting but you do need him in. From my armchair view I'd have Daicos HBF and Viney Rover but that's my fairyland opinion.

    Couldn't agree more. I'm a fan of Tom Stewart but he seems to have reached this 'gold card' AA membership status. Would have picked one of those other two for sure.

    Kyle Langford, Essendon 

    23 matches this season, 51 goals, 23 behinds 
    Averages 13.7 disposals, 66.9% disposal efficiency, 5.7 marks, 1.6 inside 50s, 1.3 score assists, 0.8 contested marks, 1.6 tackles and 0.9 goal assists

     

    This was a joke surely?

    Decent case for an AA second team.

    Why does the team need 3 FF's and 3 FB's while they name only 1 ruck ( English)? 

    Curnow, Walker and Larkey. FF's

    Wilkie(wtf!), Stewart, Moore.  even Sicily? FB's

    It just means very good players in other positions get denied.  e.g Rowan Marshall is a far superior player to Callum WIlkie.

    Feel like they now want every team to have a player how very equitable of them. Where was that in our dark days, Nathan Jones would be a 4x AA by today’s standards

    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. 

    And no better example of your evaluation is our defence.  The best in the league on a year to year basis and collectively, chock full of talent

    Yet not one of our defence gets an AA guernsey?

    So May, Lever, Rivers, Salem, McVee, Bowie & Turner (with Brayshaw helping out) go about their business with a minimum of fuss and they're not noticed? 

    I'm damn sure the opposition & opposition coaches notice them

    Defence wins Championships

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • 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?

    • 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.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      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.
