1. Frawley - awe-inspiring; I'd like to see him take on Brown, having seen him take apart Riewoldt in the last game of 2009 before he was shifted. Best big defender we've had since a guy called Paul Prymke was cut down by injury - he was going to be great.

2. Junior - what an effort; anyone who said he's not in the best 22 should be eating their words.

3. Grimes - how many games has he played? He's as brilliant as anyone in the AFL with similar experience; he's probably the best of them. Next captain.

4. Bennell - pace, balance and can hold a mark overhead.

5. Jamar - AA tap ruckman; can take on anyone. But should have more help next weekend.

6. Davey - still not 100% if you ask me, but delivers superbly

Honourable mentions - Bail, Warnock, Trengove, Green and maybe Dunn and Bartram for players who have been run-down by many, including me.

I think Brad Green might beat him to that. They're both natural leaders, but Green has the experience and determination.

1 - Jack Trengove

Sorry to Grimes and Bail.

Is this the first person not to give Frawley a nod?


6 - James Frawley (he is now one of our best players)

5 - Jack Grimes (didn't star all day but absolutely stood up when needed and showed that he is going to be a bloody outstanding player for us (he is already))

4 - James McDonald (that double tackle and smother sequence was worth four votes alone. Can't wait for this legend to celebrate his 250th later in the year)

3 - Jamie Bennell (he is the new Andrew McLeod. Will be one of our best players in two years)

2 - Brad Green (just a class act)

1 - Mark Jamar (used his physical presence superbly for us; carried the ruck all day and dominated)

And to Rohan Bail, gee what an unexpected find that is, certainly looks the part.

Sorry to Grimes and Bail.

As someone who made the same mistake last week, I would recommend you have another look at the game if you can and see for yourself how absolutely amazing James Frawley was today.

6- Frawley (bloody brilliant, and shut down Burton who was killing us)

5- Junior (inspirational as always)

4- Grimes (great as always)

3- Jamar (continues to dominate)

2- Warnock (completely shut down Tippet)

1- Green

Bennell, Trengove and Bail very stiff.

This.

Great to see the improved defensive pressure in the F50, especially how hard it was for the Crows to clear it out of defense.

  • 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.

    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.
