Heeney will come back to the field once he attracts some defensive attention. Most clubs have let him run free as he has been less damaging and not living up to his potential. Still a very good player, but we have seen this type of form in the past where it ends up dropping away. 

 

I like the coaches award. Most accurate award in my books. AFLPA MVP is garbage. Brownlow is worse.

It’s interesting that of the top 25 we are only represented by 2 players. Over the past few seasons we have been well over-represented. This year I think it’s reflective of a more evenly distributed team effort.

Agree with your assessment of most accurate. AFLPA MVP is a worthless popularity contest, Brownlow is a biased AF midfielders award.

Its seems as though most sides have only 2 club representatives at this stage. Getting 3-4 players on the leaderboard is more the exception than the norm, although Oliver, Viney and May are likely to be only one solid game from coming onto the board. 

Trac 5 x 2

McVee and Soligo - either 4 & 1, 3& 2

Max 4

Lever & May either 3, 2&1

I reckon Jackson will be his only challenger. although that said, when D'Arcy is fit again Jackson will likely be moved forward.

I think Clarry will come home with a tailwind, feel like we’ll end with 3 in the top 15

I went to Sunday morning training session.I have been to a few sessions over the pre-season, but this time l when Max came onto the field, l couldn’t believe how big he is.Not just tall but his overall body size. What a magnificent specimen.

my wife and son saw him at the local cannings

they had the same reaction - "he's HUGE"

disappointingly, they reported that george in his arms looks like a normal sized child for his age...disappointing

Max was relatively normal sized until a significant growth spurt in his later teens.  Don't give up on young George just yet 😃

Do they know how old George is? 
He appears the same size as Lever’s son who is a good two years older. 
That kid is gonna be a giant. Fear not.

Imagine how Soligo would have gone had Kozzie not had such a medium impact on him 😮

I reckon that might be closer to it as how could both coaches not vote for Max

  • PREVIEW: Fremantle

    The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

  • NON-MFC: Round 02

    The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

    As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

  • PREGAME: Fremantle

    After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

  • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

    Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
