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.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
