Bulldogs get a rising star nom. 

What annoys me is spargo has stepped in and play 3 -4 great games . No fan fare. To me that counts for more than a flashy game in a shite team. No disrespect to the young fella at the dogs.

    Ed Richards has been impressive for the Bulldogs. Courageous and skilled half back. 

    I agree Spargo has shown very good signs with pressure and smarts. Clever around goals. He will get a nomination soon if he keeps this form.

    Everyone who opens this thread should stop at this post. Nothing more needs to be said.

    Don’t need rising star noms, we had heeps of those when we were Shyte from 2008 to 2012, they don’t mean a lot. Happy for our young guns to fly under the radar and perhaps the real talent doesn’t qualify, in Fritsch and Bull as they are a fraction too old.

    Is Fritsch too old? I thought it was up to 21 at the start of the football year

    Oh well

    3rd on the ladder on a percentage of 136 will comfort me :)

    Fritsch is more about Norm Smith’s than Rising Stars.

    This time of year they usually reward the big stand-out matches.  As the year wears on, then they start rewarding consistency.

    • 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.
