I was there and spoke to him. Hand is still swollen but he was in good spirits. I won’t repeat what he said about a certain journalist as it won’t get past the censors. He’s not going anywhere. G

Ok... got back home at 2am. Found it slightly weird the Bluey Truscott himself, just got awarded his life membership in 2024. Overall, it was an interesting night. Although Goodwin (whom I rate)

JEFFO...... WATCH HIS DEADPAN DELIVERY!!

His work at the back end of the season was really promising - hoping he has a strong pre-season and grabs a seniors spot next year.

Will be a tight finish. Gawn missed two and half games in the back end.  Viney wasn't great other than Gold Coast but didn't miss a match. 

Under the system MFC uses it's almost impossible to win this award if you don't play every game.  Probably explains why Flower only managed the one over his career.

Shame to hear that Gus has left the event (Lingers mentioned he had left) 

On a previous occasion, Gus revealed he was still experiencing difficulties with crowd noise… perhaps that has something to do with his departure

KADE CHANDLER????? HARDLY ever hits the scoreboard and is 8th??? Unbelievable!!

No problem with the live stream. We pay our taxes up here! Kudos to the club, event organizers, MC, presenters, participants and award winners. Seems like a great night out and worthy celebration of the season that was. So much more classy than the Brownlow.

ps. Thought the young woman who conducted the onstage interviews was terrific. Professional, polished and smart.

I don't understand your question. Harold's son Ian accrepted the award on his dad's behalf. 
I've known Ian for more than 40 years.
He rarely misses a game, be it in Vic or interstate.I had no idea he is the son of Harold.
Ian is 70ish. His dad would have passed away some years ago.

Are you guys for real? Harold Ball was an Australian Army medic, 33-game premiership ruckman, executed on a beach in the Pacific by Japanese soldiers during World War II.

Shouldn’t have played the game “take a shot of whiskey whenever Goody says process”. 14 shots in 90 seconds and counting.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
