Ripped off at the All Australian…

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

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

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.

Let Jack make ‘em all cry in September

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.

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.

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

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.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
