    I think it's going to be impossible to get near him at family day as everyone will be flocking around him! That's if he's there.

    When I stood next to him at this years family Day at Luna Park, there was hardly anyone around him. He was handballing with some kids. At the time, I thought how is this guy going to go in his first year.......Wow. Now we all know. He is a freak (in the best possible sense with ball in hand or by foot).

    Go Jurrah

    Go Dees!

    Just interested in everybodys thoughts as to who will win the best 1st year player. Think it has to go Jurrah although Bennell and Jetta have shown a bit also.

    Who else could it be.. Geesus :lol:

    Jurrah might just be the best 1st year player ever!

    (Even tho Buckleys 1st year was a beauty- for different reasons, Dan Rich too whos 1st year, this year, was very similar to Buckleys..

    Id still pick Jurrah ahead of them to be in my team.)

    As Grimes only played one, token game last year to give him a feel for the pace let's ignore that and call him a first year player.

    Grimes is 20yrs and 3 months.

    Jurrah is 20yrs and 11 months.

    So in maturity and development levels they are pretty comparitable.

    My question is, if we only had room for one of these two on our list which one would you keep?

    50 /50 I reckon. Probably Jurrah just because of questions over Jack's back.

    Bennell really needs to go to the weights room this summer,

    same with Jets and LJ.

    Grimes is going to be a gun but I would prefer Jurrah he's the most exciting player with have ever had. Anyone who doesn't think that Jurrah will win the Best First Year Player Award by a country mile has rocks in their head.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
