This topic seems oh so simple, but who do we like? As a drunk 36 year old sitting at a pub in Amsterdam, I was perusing DL and realised I hadn't seen such a topic. Basically, who's ya boy? Who's jumper number would you get on your back after a 2018 flag?

i'd go for Brayshaw. Love his passion and love for the Dees, on top of his obvious talent. He's great to listen to on the AFL Exchange podcast too. Loved attending a training sesh at Gosch's a few years ago and seeing him kick a banana from the boundary before falling back (opposite of face plant style) in the deciduous leaves that had gathered around him. Angus is mah boy!

Jayden Hunt, notwithstanding he’s out of the team at present and has had a tough year. He’ll be back and will be huge for us in the years to come. Raw pace, great spring, manic attack on ball, huge kick. Just needs the experience and fitness to add to that and he’ll be awesome

James Harmes has bolted to pole position for mine. A fanatical Demon supporter growing up, drafted from the rookie list and now having a break out year when we’ve made finals. 

I wish I was James Harmes because this kid is living the dream.

100% Oliver. People think I'm nuts the way I talk about him. I will rewind it when he does something incredible in tight and make everyone watch.

And my wife picked Nev out even before he was delisted and rookied, so she loves reminding me of it everytime he does something well.

My son loves Jonesy, and my daughter loves "Pig".

I have a bit of a connection with James Harmes. Played against his Dad many years ago, and James grew up playing with my nephews. They are all still good mates. I have been rapt to see his improvement from a fringe player to a key part of the Demons set up.

This is tough. So hard to elevate one player ahead of what is an awesome group. I wear Petracca's no. right now and Clarry would be very close. I think I gotta go with Harmes. He's quickly becoming a heart and soul guy of the club.

Jetta. Met him the year he got drafted and my wife and I had a chat with him, great fella. 

The way he plays is exactly what is expected and that mark he took on Rioli against the eagles was a defining moment.

love that jetta (in particular) is getting so much love.. so cool that anyone could say any current player now and it could be accepted and acknowledged as legitimate. bit different to a few years ago!

Tmac for me - embodies the notion that hard work pays off. He sets a great example on and off the field for the group.

Apologies to Harmes, Clarry, Gawn and Nev

This thread demonstrates why we’re on our way to a flag. Love it.

Despite my username, I’ve just gotta go with Maxy on this one. He’s a collossus and loves the club. When he was asked on a footy show of his thoughts when he sees kids wearing our jumper with his number on it, he said “it’s great that they remember Jimmy”

He is all class and talent. Deserved AA ruckman.

For a very welcome change, this is an enormously difficult call.

For me though I find Clarrie absolutely magical: THE quickest thinker and THE best vision I can recall at any time from any player from any team.

Takes the breath away some of the ridiculous stuff he pulls off. 

But it is unfair to the likes of Max, Nev, Angus, and Jonesy for his perseverance .... and many more.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
