"That Salem bloke should be traded. Too slow and doesn't impact games.

One of our main issues."

5th best this year at 30yo! Go Salo! Don't listen to the so-called supporters

I actually thought Salem was pretty solid this year and had a few good games. Somewhat surprised that he finished as high as 5th though.

 

Did anyone mention Goody in their speeches?

Or Bucks?

Gawn was well due for another one. I reckon three best and fairests don't reflect how dominant he's been over the past 10 years.

Got absolutely robbed big time last year.

 

When a few around these parts were kicking Salem in the guts, I pointed out that he would finish top 5 in the B&F. Very pleased to be the accurate one when the Bozo’s were shooting off their mouths!

You’re judging him against himself. That’s not how it works. It’s his season judged against that of his peers.

Nope. Kozzy made AA. Easily a better season. Several players I'd have above Trac this year.

I didn’t see all of them, but did see the majority. The ones I saw all mentioned Goody. And Gawn started his speech by acknowledging him and giving him credit. None mentioned Bucks at all.

Why would they mention Buckley

 

Such a mess on so many levels but perhaps the report card should just read... "Could do better"

I get it that we do these things but seriously 2025 set the club back five odd years

I'm not going to hate on Trac, but really can't see how he should finish 2nd. Stats are one thing, but I struggle to remember where he used the ball effectively enough to make a big positive impact on the game.

Wouldn't argue against him finishing somewhere in the top ten, but to me that Bowie finishes below him in 4th, just makes our B&F like the brownlow - another midfielder's medal. I'd probably also have rated Melksham above both Salem and Trac this season.

Team won 7 games … plenty of others played worse

Trac actually came second in the Demonland Player of the Year, so most DLers are on board.

In fact DL picked the top 4 in the same order as the club. I was surprised by Salo and Chandler's high finishes like most DLrs I suspect.

Not sure how historical votes compare but the fact that max was more than double of the runner up says a lot about everyone else.

Anyway, seasons done and no point on labouring the point anymore. I hope everyone is determined to have a huge 2026. All starts off with a respite then a huge preseason. I’d expect everyone to come back in ripping shape.

Robbo's voice is shockiiiiiiin - jayzus! Sounds like a drunken dad in the shower...in the early 80s.

"That sounds like the wide world of sports tune. The guys in the office are going to love this"

I was very pleased that Geoff McGivern, premiership player and Bluey winner, was given life membership. For some reason he was not named in the 150 Heroes book published some time ago. He definitely should have been named.

How is Trac 2nd in the Bluey?

Because the MFC judges are a lot more astute than the hyperventilating Petracca haters on this site. He should be congratulated on coming back so well from such a shocking injury, not torn down at every opportunity.

Why are people surprised Trac is finishing high? Everyone heaps [censored] on him because he's not at his peak of being the best player in the league, but he's still a good player and had a good year. He bettered all his main career average stats bar marking and was our best midfielder.

Talk him down and hate him all you want - he's still better than most running round in red and blue, even at his current level.

Yes was very very avg this year..appeasement maybe?

Well done to Harvey to finish 9th despite missing a game.

Disappointed Rivers didn't feature given his experience, played every game and no apparent injury concerns.

I'm pretty sure riv finished equal 10th with Viney.

At least I think that was the graphic on the screen at the end of the event.

Bu agree, it's interesting riv got so fee votes.

And I thought it interesting clarry didn't finish higher

I dont think he deserved to nessesarily, just that he played every game and was often in our top 5 rated players - and on the surface he had a better season than chin.

I say on the surface as the difference in best and fairest awards to say the brownlow or player ratings is, like the coaches votes, they factor in things hard to assess externally like leadership and adherence to role and instructions.

Which I think helps explain chin and langdon, who rated super poorly this year, getting so many votes.

Even though he missed 4 games i was surprised tmac didn't finish top 10.

Another comms stuff-up. On our website they did write-ups on all the category winners.... Harvey Langford, none, just a photo.


Chappy said when announcing Kozzie's third spot, that if he hadn't been suspended for 3 games at the start of the year he probably would have finished higher. Trac had 3 more games to poll in and only finished 12 pts ahead.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
