MFC BEST AND FAIREST SPEECH 2024 BY GOODY Summarized as thanks to Gus 👏👏 thanks to NIBBLER 👏👏 Thanks and farewell to Stafford and Plunkett 👏👏 Got to love the process Go to love the hard work it’s not results … it’s the journey The success is in loving the process it’s not about winning the GF , it’s the process In following and loving the process, you will develop Embrace the process, you must love the process I’m excited for the future We must fall in love for the process of self improvement So bring on 2025 footnote from me … A few words slurred by Goody. Perhaps get him to do his speech earlier in the night !!

Thanks. DD36. There’s a lot going on inside head office Off field stability is causing us all concerns None of the several sources that spoke with Foxfooty.com.au were in favour of dismissing either Goodwin or Richardson from their current roles, nor were they against Brad Green’s involvement in the review.

The Weeknd for the 2025 GF pre match entertainment. Then he can watch us win the GF. 👏👏💙❤️

SWANS ACADEMY PROSPECT TAKES MANTLE SYDNEY Academy prospect Joel Cochran has claimed the first honours at this weekend's Draft Combine, winning Friday's 2km time trial. Cochran completed the run in 6:05 minutes, beating out Bendigo Pioneers talent Tobie Travaglia, who was second overall in a run of 6:13 minutes. South Australian defender Angus Clarke and Claremont's Will Hayes both registered times of 6:18 minutes, while Hamish Davis did the endurance test in 6:18 minutes. Cody Angove and Jasper Alger, who both ran 6:28, and Adrian Cole (6:24) were among the other strong performers in the test.

Agree. Derksen is a good young player but the Giants are stacked with tall forwards and tall defenders. They should honour his request. He’s family support should be recognized by the Giants. Dees should keep asking the question.

“I know, come round one next year, when I see the first ball bounced and our midfield of Gawn, Viney, Oliver and Petracca ... that you Melbourne faithful will be there in full force," Green said.

AFL website reporting Melbourne has its future first-round pick on the table for the Suns' “pick 13” selection. Maybe targeting one youngster the likes of Xavier Lindsay, Joe Berry, Cooper Haynes or Taj Hotton.

👏👏👏Trent Rivers 6th. 350 votes. Two behind Ed. So close. He had a superb year. Glad he got the Coaches Award.

Well played

Good call 👏👏💙💙

3rd Nibbler 402 votes 2nd Gawn 405 votes 1st Viney 407 votes amazingly close

JV7. unite next year. Coaches. Players. Fans. Galvanize ourselves. Not win or losses. Not about premierships. Just be proud of ourselves. Start to feel hungry to next year. We feel embarrassed. Like after 2019. Deflected the Todd calling him to see about the Kangas. He’s a great young man.

Riv? May?? Surely Rivers was 6th … thought he’d be top 5 but probably just missed.

winner JACK VINEY 💙❤️💙❤️👏👏👏 2024 MFC BEST & FAIREST

Max Gawn. Tonight shows our spirit. As a footy club, we are united. The lads. Ed. Milkshake. Gus. Nibbler. The Ring. Premiership ring. It means so much. Ring reminds us that we had some miserable years but developed. The hurt is something to build on.

2nd Max Gawn 💙❤️💙❤️👏👏👏… 5 votes between 1st and 3rd

3rd Nibbler ❤️💙❤️💙👏👏👏🥲 he is such an intelligent young man and had a great career … really sad he’s moving on.

4th love KOZZZZY 👏👏❤️💙

5th Ed Langdon 👏👏👏

Goody Gus 👏👏NIBBLER 👏👏 Stafford and Plunkett 👏👏 love the process love the hard work it’s not results success is loving the process it’s not about winning the GF Embrace the process excited for the future fall in love of the process of self improvement bring on 2025

Goody is up now 👏👏👏👏… thunderstruck !!! Yes very appropriate intro.

Gus Brayshaw. Love you. 💙❤️💙❤️A brilliant young man. I am just emotional but proud he is a Demon man. 👏👏👏

Should be an interesting night. Hopefully we get to see Riv in the top 5. Had a great year.

Agree that Xavier Lindsay is an elite kick and I think he will be very popular choice given he’s an inside/outside mid that can easily also play the half back distribution role. So he’s probably going to be around live pick 12/13 so much harder to get clubs to trade in or fall back at this pick. It might take a lot of courage to trade out the MFC future 1st to get 12/13 off say Gold Coast. But you never know … !!!
