Was before it was just top - averaged across seniors, ressies and U19s. They changed it the next year.

The McClelland Trophy is an Australian rules football trophy, which has been awarded each year since 1951 by the Australian Football League (known prior to 1990 as the Victorian Football League) to the best-performing club in a regular season, calculated using varying and evolving criteria.
The award was instituted in 1951 and is named after Dr. William C. McClelland, who at that time was president of the Victorian Football League, having previously played for Melbourne from 1898–1904, captaining the club and then serving as a club delegate.

Agreed. Time to open the draft and trade thread.

I have no idea why, but I suddenly feel like first place should get more than they do

Gary Lyon was spruiking the idea of the winner getting $1m on SEN and Watson turned around and said funny you're so interested in it now the Dees are a chance

Like pick number 1 in the national draft or something would be fair. I’d take that anyway

We now can be extra nuffie in the trade thread now. "x will want to come to a successful club" "he will take a massive pay cut to win a flag"

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

My dad was a massive Demons supporter. He passed away in 2014. He would be very happy right now. Enjoy!

Things I've learned this year from watching the Milwaukee Bucks win the NBA title.

1. It's possible for a basketcase team to stop ******* up and win it all and it will take weeks to sink in.

2. It's ******* weird winning while trapped in your house, ******* sucks you can't party, watch with friends/strangers.

3. It's our turn this year.

I don’t see why it would be difficult for the AFL to rustle up some meat trays and slabs

Very proud of the club for winning the minor premiership. I almost switched the game off at half time but glad I stuck through it, the final quarter was so exciting!

 

[slackboy72]

So glad you outlined in red, otherwise I'd never know what you were talking about.

Hahaha I asked my housemate to change it over to the Carlton game after the Rohan goal. Now I'm glad he didn't listen to me.
