2024 McClelland Trophy

Clarko was never coach of the year. Is he ‘bothered’?

That’s because Fages was the real mastermind.

You’d think he would have won more MCG games then.

It’s all about money for Craig. Tell me I’m wrong

That is a very outdated comeback…

You’d think Clarko would have brought the Roos from the bottom to semi finals in three seasons. Fages did, Clarko has 1 season left to achieve the same feat

I’m not going to diss Fages by the way.

I've got a novel idea. Award a trophy to the team that finishes on top of the AFL men's ladder and then give the premiership cup to the team that wins the grand final. Repeat the process for AFLW - a trophy for the team that finishes 1st and the premiership cup for the grand final winner. That's the only silverware that should be handed out.

Has the mclelland award ever included finals?

Don't believe so. And it used to include all competition the clubs were playing in back when reserves and under-19s were part of VFL clubs. (i think it was for each win - seniors 4pts, reserves 2pts, u19s 1pt). So incorporating AFLW keeps that side of things more than having it as just mens minor premiership.
Its a mess because the AFLW's fixturing is somehow even worse than the AFL's, not because of the concept.
