Not sure how anyone could have left Dunn out of the top 6.

Dunn was by far our best. Kept Judd to his career worst performance against Melbourne (63 DT points) and one of his worst dozen games overall (when not injured). At the same time Dunn got plenty of the ball, great goal, competed well, ran hard. I say it was the perfect tagging performance.

Dunn deserved more credit.

Judd didn't get near it by himself. Dunn played well on him, but he was not anywhere near our best. I watch every game twice to figure out why our midfield is so bad, so I watch who's on who very closely. Let's be clear; Judd is not the Judd we remember. Dunn dun good, but he was not worthy of the six votes.

Also, it's getting to the point now where Nathan Jones is actually overrated on this site. There's no way he should have three times as many votes as Jack Grimes and twice as many votes as Colin Garland. Those three should be about even, with daylight between them and the rest.

Poor Jack Grimes :(

couldn't believe when I read the papers this morning that neither of them had garland even in the best let alone our best player which he, alongside dunn, clearly was. Just shows they purely look at the stats column rather than the impact players actually have on the game

Nathan Jones could probably miss the rest of the year and still win our Best and Fairest!

He is our spiritual leader regardless of who has the captain tag next to their name.

    TRAINING: Monday 17th February 2025

    Demonland Trackwatchers were on hand at Monday morning's preseason training at Gosch's Paddock to bring you their brief observations of the session.

Rehabbing: Great to see Kentfield back (much slimmer), walking with Tholstrup, TMac (suspect just a management thing), Viney (still being cautious with that rib cartilage?), Melksham (

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields.

Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
