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.

i’m case you didn’t see May it was the best speech of all time

“[censored] we are better than the Pies

watching those [censored] win the flag was torture”

loved it!

 

Highlight of the night. We loved it ❤️

Nibla 6th.

🥳 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?

Ah Nooooooo !

Barrie Vagg ....life m'ship.  Correct me if i'm wromg but that's one of OD's favs from that era if i'm not mistake.

B. Vagg, could pull a special when the whole team was in a dire position in the last quarter. Great 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.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    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.
