Interesting to see Curnow there. Considering we picked Weiderman before him in the draft. Are we seeing another Lucas Cook/Jack Darling debarcle?

    Throw in Jack Martin too, he wasn't better than Trac this season.

    I wouldn't have Petracca in that side.

    Actually, that bench looks pretty ropey. Might squeeze him in.

    No Petracca in the side is a ridiculous. I cant find the recent link but champion data had him in their best side of 2017 on a half forward flank based on statistical output. Being it was voted on by fans really removes any merit on the side.

    Dusty with almost double Dangers votes for MVP, the man has had an insane season.

    It's the way voting was conducted, Petracca could only be voted in a midfield spot. Voters were limited to certain groups of players for each spot. I.e. a defender list, midfield list, forward list etc. 1 spot on the bench each for a forward & defender listed player. As a result there were several midfielders limited by where they could be selected in a deeper pool of talent who should've made it in the forward line ahead of Rioli, Martin, Papley at a minimum, maybe ahead of some of the defender named too.

     

    Petracca was definitely one of those.

    The Rioli name seems to mean so much around footy circles but I am buggered as to how the richmond one got named. 

  • Quote

    Petracca didn't make the team as he was classified as a midfielder, despite playing 90% of the year at half forward.

    As a forward he walks it it; as a mid, not so much...

    I just explained how above. The forward spots were limited by a weak pool you had to choose from. It was a pathetic list and you couldn't choose a midfield listed player like Petracca instead.

    Was listed as a midfielder. Ridiculous decision on the part of those responsible. Would've [censored] it in as a forward.

    Comedy re: Hunt also:  So not being able to hit a target or nail a running open goal isn't a pre-requisite for selection?  Interesting.

    Petracca was named in last year's side as a HFF, which anyone who watched the Dees for 5 seconds this year would have known is where he plays.

    Obviously didn't watch him play much in the last month or so when he regularly lowered his eyes and hit up leads inside 50.

    Check the replays of the Saints and Pies games in particular.

    3 goals 1 and 7 goals 5 in his first two seasons isn't a bad return for someone who runs at blistering pace.

    Hunt often bombs long to the hot spot in front of the goal square at an angle from the wing. It doesn't help his kicking efficiency stats but is does bring the ball quickly into the forward line and help our scoring.

    Hunt kicked what should be goal of the year from the wing after the siren with a perfectly crafted torpedo. Poor kicks simply can't do that.

    Poor disposal from Hunt is the biggest myth on demonland.

    whether it is poor or not, it is certainly an area he needs to work on

    clarification:  kicking after a log run that is

    • 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.
