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!

Signed, Polyanna.

😊

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.


Congratulations to the warrior Jack Viney...

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!!

Cos.

Kos?


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.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
