I was there and spoke to him. Hand is still swollen but he was in good spirits. I won’t repeat what he said about a certain journalist as it won’t get past the censors. He’s not going anywhere. G

I just saw Saty putting bread rolls in his pocket.

Ok... got back home at 2am. Found it slightly weird the Bluey Truscott himself, just got awarded his life membership in 2024. Overall, it was an interesting night. Although Goodwin (whom I rate)

You'd love to see Ben Brown continue his coaching work and remain around the club, what an amazing guy.

I'm sure now, more than ever, that we completely replaced the entire media and comms team with interns.

You are a poor judge!

JEFFO...... WATCH HIS DEADPAN DELIVERY!!

His work at the back end of the season was really promising - hoping he has a strong pre-season and grabs a seniors spot next year.

Will be a tight finish. Gawn missed two and half games in the back end.  Viney wasn't great other than Gold Coast but didn't miss a match. 

Under the system MFC uses it's almost impossible to win this award if you don't play every game.  Probably explains why Flower only managed the one over his career.

Shame to hear that Gus has left the event (Lingers mentioned he had left) 

On a previous occasion, Gus revealed he was still experiencing difficulties with crowd noise… perhaps that has something to do with his departure

KADE CHANDLER????? HARDLY ever hits the scoreboard and is 8th??? Unbelievable!!

No problem with the live stream. We pay our taxes up here! Kudos to the club, event organizers, MC, presenters, participants and award winners. Seems like a great night out and worthy celebration of the season that was. So much more classy than the Brownlow.

ps. Thought the young woman who conducted the onstage interviews was terrific. Professional, polished and smart.

I don't understand your question. Harold's son Ian accrepted the award on his dad's behalf. 
I've known Ian for more than 40 years.
He rarely misses a game, be it in Vic or interstate.I had no idea he is the son of Harold.
Ian is 70ish. His dad would have passed away some years ago.

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.

Shouldn’t have played the game “take a shot of whiskey whenever Goody says process”. 14 shots in 90 seconds and counting.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
