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.

    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.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
