I propose a contest, which I'll keep track of throughout the season, where demonlanders cast their 3-2-1 Brownlow votes for Melbourne games after each round. Once the count is made at the end of the season, points will be awarded according to the following criteria: 

3 points for predicting a player with the correct number of actual votes polled.

1 point for predicting a player with the wrong number of votes.

10 point bonus for predicting the correct votes for a round in order.

 

I'll get the ball rolling with my first rd predictions 

3 - J. Viney, 2 - Boooooooo (sorry for my earlier indescretion Daisycutter), 1 - J. Watts

 

Edit: To make it interesting, I'll donate a prize of a Demonland T-shirt for the competition winner. Good luck!!

Just do the exact opposite of what your instincts tell you, like George Costanza in the episode where he lands the job with the NY Yankees.

Thread update: I'm putting up a prize for the winner (Demonland t-shirt) at season's end (see opening post for rules)

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    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

We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    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
