Funny how most commentators who put these out, including Slobbo, justify not putting Gawn and Grundy in their team because no teams play with 2 rucks (except top of the ladder West Coast), but then put Gray, Higgins and Caddy in the one team - not saying their not good players, but forward pressure is such a big part of today's game, and those guys aren't top notch in that area. Also no lock down defender either, so just come out and say we're picking the best 22 and putting them where we can fit them, rather than how a team would actually line up.

    I think a lot of the media pundits are picking Dusty based on 2017 form.

    They keep hanging their hat on the fact he in no. 1 for score involvements,  Fact is there are far better performed midfielders than him this year.

    AA lost its shine for me last year when Oliver wasn't even in the squad despite being top 5 in almost every category a midfielder's performance is measured.

    Don't get too comfortable seeing Clarry in there, they still need to find room for Selwood, Dangerfield and Ablett.  

    There is nothing more certain than the 'Holy Trinity' featuring in the AA team.

    No Tmac, ok I get it's based on 9 rounds but really?

    And 5 Meth Coke (ohhh how I love the Demonlanders' nick names)

    Way better than Slobbos train wreck of a team.

    Hes a good samaritan making every other journo look like experts.    So selfless.

    Having said that 5 Eagles is ridiculous, and Jetta robbed again.

    Also, Darling will be replaced by T Mac in the 2nd half o the season.

    Cripps should be in there ahead of Martin.

    I have no idea why Dusty is getting so much love.  Is he leading any categories this year?  Is he having a consistent impact on games?  I feel like he's had a good year but he hasn't even gotten close to matching last season.

    Pending on Darling's form/fitness in the second half of the season, I think TMac is a strong case to make the final side based on his current form. Hibberd made the AA squad last year after missing the first 4 or 5 games so McDonald is still every bit as likely.

    Also, Dusty getting the nod over a Cripps or Coniglio is laughable.

    A balanced “B” side including very good role players for every position would easily beat a best 22 star studded side.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    • PREGAME: Collingwood

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
