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.

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • 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?
