Melbourne Football Club: 6th Best & Fairest  - 450 votes

With his seemingly endless reserves of energy and a tireless work rate, Neal-Bullen’s ability to apply constant pressure up forward makes him a valuable member of the team.

 

I thought I’d add that David Hussey told me many months ago that he asked Alex & Jack Viney to talk to the VIC cricket squad mid last year and he told me that Alex spoke so exceptionally well that he could never recall a more impressive young sportsman address a group. 
 

He told me went straight up to Alex and told him how impressed he was and that he has an outstanding career in sport leadership, management awaiting if he so chooses. 

Limited player, very nicely looked after by Goodie in 2022. 

Thought he struggled early on but was pretty good for us in the last two thirds of the year.

 

Historically I was not a fan, but loved his year last year. Maybe i was missing his contribution in years past. 

Rarely plays a terrible game. Sometimes plays a very, very good one.


This bloke has a tremendous work ethic. Love his passion for the club too. Seemed a little down in form last season but still had a good one. An underrated player who is deservedly respected and liked by his teammates and supporters.

I have huge respect for Alex Neal-Bullen but it hasn’t always been the case up until halfway through 2020 I thought that he just wasn’t up to it. Then either he changed or I twigged to just how important a foot soldier he was to our young team. ANB has continued to grow as a premiership footballer and is now in our top 10-15 players, I really hope that he can play 200 games for us and share in addition premiership’s, he is another of our quiet achievers.

 

2023 was his best year.

Worked hard to get to where he is.

On his 2023 form, top 10 selected every week. A pure joy to watch. Wrings every last skerrick of ability and effort from himself. 


19 goals last year was a very nice return. His 20th was taken away from him in the last game.

Forgot that he had 24 touches and 1 goal in a flag - very nice performance on the biggest stage!

Reminds me of Cam Bruce in that he runs his guts out in every single game. Supremely fit like Bruce and with stamina to burn. Read what Maxy says about him in his book. Such a team player being first to congratulate a team mate. Thanks Alex. You are an inspiration to the team by personal example.

Incredibly important cog in the machine that will never truly get the accolades he deserves.

  • 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.
