I guess the first nominee would be for Jack Viney and his assault on the man mountain Leigh Brown at training?

i am looking at that picture right now. Leigh Brown is bigger than a man mountain!!

How did the club ever expect to win games against blokes like Brown by recruiting choirboys??

No wonder our second halves were often so bad.

    Is the award for acts of bravery or stupid [censored] that gets you rubbed out?

    Acts of bravery of course but I would also include instances where our players are able to hurt the opposition within the bounds of fair play. Elbows to the head is not something we want to see but if there's an opportunity to make a an opposition player know they are in for a tough day, then I'd like to see a lot more of that type of thing from these new Demons. Flying the flag when a teammate comes in for rough treatment goes without saying.

    This style of play has become second nature at Hawthorn and I think Clarkson is on record as saying that they will wear the odd occasion when players get a week here or there for 'walking the line'.

    At the end of each game, supporters should have a good idea of who will be worthy of votes.

    • 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.
