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?

    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

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
