I reckon they want to play both.

Garlett won’t be around forever, so I think you’re on to something here!

    One of the things I like about Hannam is that he accelerates into contact and uses his body to impact the opposition.

    For some reason his movement, snaps and leap reminds me of Gary Ablett Snr... which can only be good. 

    That’s actually not too far of a comparison to make, you and the ‘taller player’ comment by @faultydet are great observations!

    Probably needs to bulk up a little ... Mitch Hannan the poor man's Gary Ablett Snr.

    Dead set freakiest of freaks. I’ve always maintained that Ablett and Carey are the only two players I would pay to go and see if Melbourne weren’t playing

    And to think that Yablett Junior is as good or even better.

    I saw Mitch this arvo at my local supermarket. I nearly knocked into him in the fruit and veg. Every isle i turned into he was there. Honesty, I wasn't following him. 

    Libba jnr was there as well. Fortunately they didn't go into the chemist's across the road together

    Well done to Mitch. Took his opportunity with both hands and was a key factor in the win that got us to the finals for the first time in 12 years.   13 touches, 6 marks, 3 goals, great pressure and almost a couple of huge grabs.

    Wouldn't be surprised if he gets votes from the coaches.   A dangerous player who will only get better.   ?

    Did not think he had it in him, but he was absolutely instrumental in that win.

    Him, Melksham and Hibbo as Ins absolutely won us the game.

    Weids also more than held his own.

    So glad we have this bloke locked up.....  he is such an X factor and he has shown he can deliver in big moments and big games.  Love watching him play.

    I wonder IF we should term it Locked ON... rather than locked In, or Locked Up?

    Very tidy, Handgun Hannan, very tidy indeed. Keeps his feet in a contest, quick along the ground, can take hangers, tackles and harrasses, kicks all types of goals.

    What more could you ask for from Handgun, both he and Fritta are prime examples of the schrude trade business we have completed around our close range picks.

    Hannan a poor man G.Ablett snr,perhaps Petracca is the poor man's A.Jakovich, T.Mac the poor man's W.Carey. We have lots of poor man's whatevers but overall who cares as long as we keep winning.

    Has been a great addition since coming to the Dees, to average a goal per game is not bad considering how many other forward options we have ATM.

    It would be great if it could be C. Wagner.

    • 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.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
