Chandler top 10, proving once again that Demonlanders don’t know what roles players are asked to play. Half of this site is constantly calling for him to be dropped. I crown thee “the next ANB”.

    Well, I'm sufficiently uplifted by all of that!

    Not really, format dishes out a lot of votes they have to go somewhere 

    Played every game, in the guts, finished off season without a lot of help at times. GC game was immense

    Max was great, but missed a couple of games, and was doubled teamed a few times

    Don't think I would have had him in the top 3 to be perfectly honest. That game against GC was his best in quite a while. 10 games where he didn't top over 20 possessions.

    Max much more prolific and Trent Rivers not even getting in the top 5 is pretty weird.

    Why do so many call him 'Bullen'?

    I’ve always called him ‘Business’ coz you need an ABN for a business and it’s close.

    not clever but still

    I apologise if I’ve touched a nerve. It is your choice to support mediocrity.

    I will continue to demand higher standards.

    There were a number of 'incidents' that had a marked impact on our performance this year viz losing Gus, JS29 stuffing up, no, or limited preseason for Clarrie and Melky, losing Trac, and yes, some ordinary recruiting.

    In an even competition there'd be 17 years between flags.

    Methinks that you might be better off following a comp where there were, say, only 10 teams. 

    My local team (one of 10 in the league) has won the last two flags and has lost only 5 games in the last three years. They're easy to follow. No need for me to demand higher standards.

    I thought it would be either Max Gawn or Jack Viney.

    Very close!

    Jack Viney now has 2 Melbourne Best & Fairests, the same as his Dad, Todd! Well done!

    Go Demons in 2025! ❤️💙👹

     

     

     

    Nibbler getting 3rd should hopefully bump up his trade value to the Crows. 😉

    When Max got announced 2nd I thought Rivers was the only option. But then again we're just morons from the entitled Xbox generation 

    Morons is a bit harsh. Id just say Lazy ldiots.

    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.

     

     

    I didn't know that, thanks. Do you know if it was related to the Bullwinkle and co events/tragedy?

    There really were some games towards the end of the season when we weren't doing that well but Jack stood out. Heart and soul kind of stuff. 
    Congrats Jack on your second Bluey. Well deserved.

    He’s not a good public speaker. Never has been. 

    Also if you’re not drunk after the last 3 weeks, you’re doing it wrong 

    Spot on …he is not the best public speaker …it’s a lot easier sitting behind a keyboard and typing away. He’s genuine ..he loves the club & the players & that was certainly reciprocated. So for at least for tonight put away your cynicism and vitriol and take on board the positivity and hope from every person who spoke.

    I’m surprised by this result if I’m being honest. But what do I know? I’ve been drunk since round 24 trying to cope with being a Melbourne supporter 

    We went down to the MCG for the loss against GWS in Rd 20. We haven't sobered up or thawed out since!!

    My god I love Jack Viney

    His sheer will and mentality coupled with Maxys leadership have kept the ship afloat until now 

    I honestly don’t think he was that good this year. He has been better a few other years but if anyone deserves it he does

    In times of Instagram italian food and crazy partying this is the man who backs up what he says.

    We love you Jack

    Unfortunately I think it's locked in that we get their second round pick (currently 25).

    We won't get their first pick (4).

    We may get steak knives (they currently have picks 42 and 60).

    I reckon we'll be asking for more than 25, but might be hard to get it. Suspect we'd be wanting a pick 17-20 to reflect value.

    Exactly. What I was reminded of tonight is that we have a fantastic core of players (past and present) that deserve our continued appreciation and support, for they are the 'team we love'. As supporters, let's do everything we can to ensure the off field component is as engaged and focussed as them.

    Pick 25# and pick 42# would be acceptable.

    Could then package them up in a deal to Brisbane or Gold Coast for first round picks.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
