If you look in the second page of that thread you we will see all the leaked countdown profiles. I've seen a few people having us get Luke Shuey and here's an interesting bit from his profile:

Which AFL team do you support?

I'm a Melbourne supporter.

Which AFL player do you feel you most resemble?

I model my game around Nathan Jones. I do most of my work inside and I've got a bash-and-crash game. I like that stuff and I look up to him.

 
Well, seems as though the threads been deleted. Oh well.

Just change the number at the end of the web address.

he looks pretty good in close and has good hands, bit suspect by foot. Im only going by this you tube clip.

strauss looks very good by foot, something MFC really needs at the moment is good foot skills IMO.

So besides being a demons supporter, and basing his game on one of the CURRENT demons list (yikes!), what is there to make us excited?

Haven't we got enough inside players?

Never said we should take him, just pointing out he is a dees supporter.

Wow, Strauss looks very good. Wouldn't mind him at all at 17/19, he can keep his #17 jumper ;)

 

i've seen strauss live a couple of times and i do rate him highly

maybe pick 17 but id take swift over him probably

I did not like the look of the kid in that youtube footage, everytime he kicked the ball it was a turnover. He did look like a hard at it player but we need some skill through our midfield. No thanks, pass on him

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • PREGAME: Carlton

    The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
