The same six that featured in the Demonland poll. This would have to be a first. I hope that the other seventeen teams are paying attention!

Most had Brayshaw instead of Garlett.

I think putting 6 MFC players in is a bit of a knee jerk reaction. The team was good, that was a surprise - must have had several stars.

I also had Brayshaw in my best six however I don't have a problem with Garlett (or even Watts for that matter). I think that they had to focus on positions (which is why Gawn is nominated in the forward pocket rather than in the ruck)!

Only 12 teams played this week with the bye.

Still a great result.

When was the last time the Dees had more players in the team of the week than any other team?!

This is why I love footy.

Probably about the last time we beat the Cats at skilled!

Has this ever happened to MFC before? I certainly can't remember more than maybe the occasional three. Not even sure is the highest number from one team since this has been around.

Shows that there has been significant progress as a team.

Keep it up.

We did, but the Dockers had 5.

just nit picking here- why the [censored] is Vince not named guts or one of the onballers. 34 touches, 38, 38- more clearances, more contested posession than cripps. its not about 'team balance' as a. there is no such team or b. any of the other blokes there could be named HFF as well as a better mid is named as such. Pisses me off

Pretty rare for us to have the whole ground covered in the team, defender, ruckman, midfield and forward..they all deserved some recognition and well deserved. Im over the moon for Gawn, he is like a Toumpas for me, someone who i really want to make it.

I agree! We should have had eight in the team, including Vince and Brayshaw!

Vince has to be in All Australian form

If he keeps this up, he should be selected... but then not play because heaven forbid he gets injured!

He has had 25 touches 6 out of the last 7 games, so that's reasonable consistency

Sorry C & B

Ask Robbo, he beat the Cats single handed.

7G 3B equal highest tally of his career.

I love the man, so much humility.

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
