More Depressing useless information

Was just thinking about the rising star nominations for this year. Sadly, for such a young list, I cannot think of anyone that will even get nominated. Sam Blease maybe? is he still eligible?

And as an extra bonus; out of 8 rounds this year, 4 of the nominations have been in games that played us.

I wonder what odd's for that hairy Bootsma kid to get the nod this week.

    I'd be surprised if Tom McDonald ended the season without being nominated.

    There's an age or some other restriction isn't there? Otherwise Magner would have been a certainty in round 1.

    Magner is too old to qualify, as is Couch.

    Playing for a losing team doesn't help. Playing for a rabble, forget it. We are almost a certainty for MOTY though. Its the only thing we seem to win every now and then. Special mention to T Mc though.

    Hasn't hurt GWS or GC...

    They are not a rabble. They are young developing sides.

    They also have the advantage of 50% of their team qualifying for a nomination.

    Was actually a sly dig at the nepotism coming from Demetriou towards those teams

    I predict Taggert would get a nomination before the end of the season. He's a gun.

    • 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.
