I'm happy none of ours made it into the AA team.they can focus on the next year ,forget the Irish game ,and avoid tags based on their status.The worst year we ever had was when the press knew everything happening at the club.The best in recent times was '87 when they had no idea who Lyon,Rigoni,Leoncelli,Newport etc were.Not much press coming out of the MFC in Northeys days.Lets fly under the radar and into September.

Biff

Rigoni and Leoncelli were really flying under the radar back then. Rigoni would have been playing under 14's for Myrtleford in 87! Leoncelli in the same age group playing somewhere else.

    Michael hurley. FMD what a joke

    Are you kidding?

    Absolute no-brainer for CHB.

    Bernie's not the only one ...

    2015 Stats

    Nic Naitanui, West Coast 20 games in 2015. 116 kicks, 30 marks, 125 handballs, averaging 5.8 kicks, 1.5 marks, 6.3 handballs. 17 Goals, 12 Behinds. 676 Hit Outs (fourth in the AFL), averaging 33.8 per game. 79 Clearances, 53 Inside 50m, 14 Rebound 50m. 75 Tackles.

    Stefan Martin, Brisbane 20 games in 2015. 238 kicks, 128 marks, 195 handballs, averaging 11.9 kicks, 6.4 marks, 9.8 handballs. 5 Goals, 9 Behinds. 650 Hit Outs (seventh in the AFL), averaging 32.5 per game. 96 Clearances, 69 Inside 50m, 28 Rebound 50m. 40 Tackles.

    No point trying.

    Rioli and Naitanui just get nominated because of who they are, not necessarily because they're the best selections.

    Bernie definitely deserved to be in the best 40, don't think he should have made the final team but IMO has had a better year than Dalhaus, Pendles, Swan & Deledio off the top of my head. Having said that the worst omission of all players is David Armitage has had a very good year in a quality side

    Nic Nat has had a very good year but once again AFL influence gets him a gig along with the hype, he is behind Sandilands, Martin and possibly Sam Jacobs

    Josh Gibson really don't think he has had a great season, Talia has had a better season and is certainly a better player

    The panel have certainly continued with the theme of devaluing the AA

    • 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.
