For the people in the room they did skip the Collingwood final or go back to it? 

Gee Clint got a bit salty with some people at the end when they came back from that extra long break.

Maybe he wanted to get home early as he probably has to get up for weekend today.

Did anyone go up to Grundy & have a chat?

I watched the live stream. Which was mainly pretty good.

As expected, Christian Petracca wins his 2nd Keith "Bluey" Truscott Memorial Trophy. Thought it would be a lot closer with Jack Viney though.

Heard the word "Culture" a dozen or more times which is good. I am assuming that some of that is a subtle reminder to Clayton Oliver. But I am sure he got lots of love and well wishes this evening. We all love and support Clarrie and obviously want him to do well.

Steven May, absolutely brilliant speech! He said exactly what we were all thinking! We are better than [censored] Collingwood! Let's beat them next year!

Hopefully Clarrie and the rest of team is inspired by the classic Ron Barassi quote repeated by Simon Goodwin which is "if it is to be, it is up to me!" Let's win that Premiership on the MCG next year Demons!

Looks like he wasn't there according to earlier comments. I didn't watch it.

Why a big loss? I'm sure we'll have a very competent and capable sports medicine doctor joins the ranks next season.

Goody said she’s the best doctor he’s ever worked with.

easy to critique Binman. how did you go with your predictions?

I wasn't having a shot at you dd.

And many wouldn't have picked him to finish top 10 - chronically under rated player. Well, not by the coaches and players, just fans.

How did I go with my predictions? 

Picked the top 10 in order.

Edit: picking the top 10 in order was meant to be a joke.

That’s because you genuinely don’t know what role he’s being asked to play every week. 
Half this site thinks ANB is a liability but he came 6th. Go figure. 

The one set of awards you can’t complain about is the B&F. Our coaches give very specific votes for very nuanced things that we have no idea about. 

Thanks

Hahaha May is the best 

We are a better team than Collingwood. Damn straight we are! 

I congratulated him afterwards on his speech, he replied “I only said what we were all thinking, I f%^#ing  hate Collingwood”.  Love him!

 How does the misspelling of a player’s name get through?!?! Where’s the proofreader? Inexcusable!

Watch the media have a ball with this. Well, who gives a CENSORED.

It's TRUE! 

A great night, the players must have felt the love in the room. Well done MFC and the supporters there.

🥳 so happy that despite the endless [censored]-canning he cops on here, the people whose assessment  matters the most gave him the credit he deserves. Onya Nibs!

And just quietly… HOW GOOD IS KNUCKLES MCVEE?! The kid’s a ️ 

Loved seeing an event where some of the “lesser lights” got to shine.

Spaz a deserving winner of the True Player award (again). 👏

if Flower only won one i reckon the format might need to change the format. Is N Jones 3 times a better player?

Has Goody done his speech yet?

He usually sounds pretty refreshed at these nights.

Surely Goody is going to have a tonne of 'learnings' to impart to the gathered masses?

But is someone really the best player for the season when they miss almost half the year? Where should the line be drawn? Get 60 possessions and kick 10 in round 1 then miss the rest of the season with injury? Maybe a team's best player on paper, but not the best player for the team over that season I'd suggest.

That said, regarding the Flower winning only 1 matter I'd agree there's scope maybe to tweak the scoring system. 

Somewhere on Grevile Street.

Despite coming second in the BnF surely this was Viney's best ever year for us.

Some players do well when the team lifts.

Some players lift the team when the team's not doing well.

Jack kept us in games when we were struggling.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
