Once again not a single Demon player has made the 40 man All Australian Squad.

No Vince makes this squad a joke.

Selectors are (as far as I can work out) Gillon McLachlan (chairman), Kevin Bartlett, Luke Darcy, Mark Evans,Danny Frawley, Glen Jakovich, Cameron Ling and Mark Ricciuto.

Darcy is a disrespectful [censored] who has it in for our club, the others seem OK.

    How about we worry about winning games.

    Everything stems from that.

    Fair enough.

    Yes but we are one of six Clubs to not have a single player (and during the year we still beat the Western Bulldogs who have five players)!

    You can't tell me Lachie Neale has had a better year than Bernie. I've watched plenty of Freo as well. Joke

    Shame, but look across the squad and who would you leave out..?

    Dane swan comes to mind, has been good but Vince has been better.

  • Quote

    Unfortunately while Bernie had a lot of very good patches, he went missing for 3-4 games a time, two or three times. His last four or five games, he was pretty much unsighted except for the last round.

    Unsurprising.

    Nathan Jones was far more deserving last year than Vince was this year.

    That said, Heath Shaw? Over Tom McDonald?

    Wow.

    Disagree except for the last 4 weeks or so, this is about the whole year though, not just one lean patch. I think the last few weeks would have taken him out of the team but not the squad!

    Rory Laird???? Who the hell is that? Swan, Ibbo also lame selections.

    Bernie was very stiff to miss out.

    Swanny also had a few games where he did SFA.

    Swan out, Vince in.

    Rory has had a good year but Shaun Burgoyne has done nothing. He is there on reputation alone. Averaging 9 kicks and 10 HBs. Pathetic.

    Michael hurley. FMD what a joke

    TBH I have taken no notice of the AA since they refused to include Adem Yze years ago. Claimed that a player had to put in a number of years of solid performances to get in the team. Farkoff, 2001 Yze average 22.2 disposals, 4.8 marks and 1goal 1bh.

    Edit: put in link

    SIX clubs got none

    ONE club got one

    so i don't think we were singled out. it is just pretty skewed to 11 clubs

    TMac was in AA until Cloke decided to put in a big one on QB, after that it took him about 8 weeks before he showed anywhere near his capabilities.

    Vince I would've thought he'd get in the squad, he's had a sensational year. But not a huge surprise given our year.

    Shaun Burgoyne for a start... How he is in the squad I do not know. Armitage & Vince the most unlucky

    Heath Shaw has been excellent this year, will get in the team.

    Surprised Armitage and Vince didn't make the squad.

    • 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.
