No Jetta in the 40, which I agree with.

He had quiet patches in the season.

Maxy and Clarry the only Dees included in the squad of 40. Congratulations boys

 

And both will be in the 22.

Nev stiff to miss the 40 but a year where there were a number of good small and mid defenders that had great seasons.


Sounds about right TBH. Nev a little stiff to miss.

Full seasons to Tmac and Brayshaw and I reckon they may have got the nod 

 

Jetta is again robbed. So many players get in based on reputation alone. Jetta absolutely deserved to make the squad at least. 

Well done to Clarry, what a star. Also if Gawn is not the starting ruck, it is an abomination. Grundy gets more fluffy disposals, but as a ruckman your primary job is to service your mids. Gawn has more hitouts to advantage than every club in the competition combined, not to mention the first ever ruckman to get to 1000 hitouts in a H&A season.

 

Yeah, Nev was stiff to miss out. I know Gus hasn't played a whole year, but I thought he'd played enough of it (all sublime) to be included anyway. Next year for sure!

 

Fair selections and both should be easy locks for the 22.

Obviously, full seasons to Brayshaw, Tmac wouldve seen them considered. Harmes' second half of the year has also been AA quality.

Brayshaw stiff not to make the Top 40.

If there were another 5 games left of the H&A season then he might have made the squad.  The same could be said of James Harmes, Nev Jetta and Tom McDonald.  All have had terrific seasons but I understand their omission as well.

Yes some lads unfortunate to not make the squad.

They'll just have to console themselves by being in the Premiership team ;)

Jetta had to make the squad of 40

Why ?

If I was picking 40 I wouldn't include him.

He was better last year.

Just looking at other players Harris Andrews is an interesting one, didn't realise he had such a solid season.

Will be interesting of Gaff makes the 22, he deserves to be there IMO.

I suppose they didn't pick any real shut down small defenders in the squad anyway, so I don't feel like he missed out to a similar player. They just rate the attacking defenders now it seems.

tmac should have made squad of 40. still played 17 games and his goal average was about the same as riewoldts

ended up with 48 goals and tons of score assists and involvements

demons weren't the highest point scoring club in the comp for nothing and deserved a fwd in the squad

Could have made a case for TMac given Gunston made the squad.

 

Having confirmed Demon haters  Ling, KB and Frawley among the selectors didn't help Gus, Nev or TMac.  Maxy and Clarry were always getting a guernsey though. As Jaded said, it Max doesn't get the No 1 ruck selection it an abomination. Not only that, it will make the entire selection process a joke.

How is Mark Blicavs in the squad, he is terrible 

He's had a really good season as a KPD...well deserved.

Should probably make the AA 22...

Take off the red & blue glasses '11'.

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
