Off topic question. Is Kossy still eligible to win the Brownlow this year? (Ie rubbed out last year but suspension carried over to this coming season).My initial thought is yes, but not sure.

Good question.... no idea!

I'm going to assume yes.

    At Tracc’s first session back he was nervous and it showed. But that was then, now he’s yelling out encouragement and motivating everyone and not keeping a low profile. In particular, he’s very encouraging to Harvey. Tracc’s on the boundary watching Harvey and regularly calling out “that was great, Harvey!” The look of pride on Harvey’s face is priceless.

    Also, Tracc isn’t holding back one iota. He tackles hard and gets tackled just as hard. Honestly, you wouldn’t know at all what happened to him merely six months ago.

    Clarrie’s hand update: “it’s [censored] great!” He says it’s 100% back to pre-injury.

    I really like your posts.

    Yes he is, provided of course he doesn't get reported and rubbed out for an offence in 2025.

    The suspension he copped in 2024 has no bearing on next year's Brownlow, even though he will serve his three week sentence at the beginning of the 2025 season.

    Gary Ablett Snr was also hunched. He went alright.

    Quasimodo was hunched but he was the best bell ringer season after season!🤪

    The only season he missed out was when he was suspended for kidnapping .

    Also made the team of the 16th century

    The last hunched type forward I remember was peter hudson.   With his broad hunched shoulders, bum pushed back, not many defenders could stop him marking.  Hope he is somewhere near as good.

    So at this stage we’ll be happy if Jeffo is some Hudson, Ablett, Kennedy hybrid? 😀

    No pressure.

    I must say, Disco, that offering 'no pressure' as you have done is extremely gracious of you. The selected blend of skills and attributes is most appealing, as well. Let us all, forthwith, join you in the hope that Jeffo rises to the occasion, develops traits that emulate your fancies and proves to be Heaven-sent to meet such a challenge. No pressure!

    I was just glad that people were concentrating on positive role models rather than simply asking him to stand up straight. 
    I think he can be a very handy player. 
    Anything beyond that is a bonus.

    As someone who looks after my body I’d love for him to work on his neck. There’s pain coming to that area at some point

    I'm pretty sure he takes them from Getty Images.

    Oh, I hadn’t realised that as there are no watermarks and I’m sure he has claimed them as his in the past. Interesting.

    And with his penchant for holding on to the bell rope, was in fact the first recorded swinger.

    As long as there are not too many clangers.

    I’ve spoken with the guy and he posts the photos from the MFC website. He never claimed to have taken them himself. 

    Yes, I think the confusion came from the fact that he doesn’t credit the photographs or make mention of where they come from. I should have made the comparison with what is in the MFC app, but hadn’t done so. Guilty as charged!

    You can only be ruled ineligible if you commit the offense in a home and away match from that season.
    Basically, only matches that count toward that Brownlow.
    You can be suspended in Finals and preseason matches and still be eligible for the Brownlow.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.
