He was there. Featured on some of the red carpet coverage, looked like he took a mate to the event.

    A related question...why? Why was he there?

    He was clearly no chance to win, wasn't in the running for mark or goal of the year, wasn't club captain or in the AA team and obviously wasn't this year's Rising Star award winner or Coleman medallist. So who invited him and why? If it was the club's decision, why wouldn't you use that spot for someone else who never gets the opportunity. For example, someone like Neal-Bullen, Salem or Langdon?

    He still got the fourth most votes for our club after Trac, Vin, Gawn…

    Gotta say, the lack of votes he received backs up my views of how wasteful he can be with ball in hand. 

    Of course he missed games in the second half of the season. 

    Hoping next year with a new midfield coach or couple of fresh assistants, we can see him making a stride forward on that side of his game. Cause he needs to improve it big time if we're going to compete at the pointy end again.

    The AFL does the invites. 

    The criteria for invitation are based on a range of factors, including the player's performance throughout the season, their popularity, and their contribution to the sport of Australian football. Past winners get an invite every year.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
