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 11

    Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.

  • PREVIEW: Sydney

    The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

  • REPORT: Brisbane

    “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

  • CASEY: Southport

    The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

  • PREGAME: Sydney

    Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
