IMO Harmes was easily ahead of Viney.

So was May & he only played a few games...

    Viney finishing 3rd was unbelievable. Bring in the auditors.

    I was surprised that Salem didn't finish higher than seventh.

    And surprised that Hunt finished top 10.

    The issue is how much he and his manager are asking. It’s not that we haven’t or don’t want to offer him one.

    The club did offer him a contract. But not for an amount that he deemed sufficient.

    What a fantastic speech by Max. A real leaders speech.

    If he isn’t made Co Captain next year it will be the greatest farce ever.

    I hope they sack the whole FD...

    Obviously haven't got a clue.

    We're screwed...

    An internal award and wouldn't be the first anomaly Rjay.  Oh well.  Thought Clarry was very close all year but wasn't expecting a tie as such.  Just a very close contest.  Something different anyways and well done to both.

    Frosty should have finished TOP 5 IMO. 

    However l could not see how Viney  did finish so high.  By far  not one of his best seasons.

    Terrible, honestly [censored] terrible. Buckley and Hardwick were the same until they learned to loosen up and actually speak like an actual human. Goodwin won’t connect with the young players talking like that. 

    He needs to connect with the younger generation like I do, throw in some ‘radicals’ and ‘groovy’s’ and refer to things as being ‘hip’. Then they’ll think he’s cool and he’ll get their attention. 

    I was briefly just back in Oz for the first time in 5 years. I reckon he'll need way more Fs and Cs to get the attention of the younger generation.

    The Viney haters just don't get it! They never will! Viney is rated so highly by those closest to him because of his LEADERSHIP!!!!!!

    That's what worries me 'Rusty'...what games are they watching?

    It can't have been this years.

    Do they really have a clue?

    He's rated by the coach, I'm not so sure by the players & he showed very little if any leadership on the ground this season...

    What a weird night. I thought Max would lap the whole field. 

    I get the feeling the Club just wanted to get it over. Good thing to. 

    Max must be Captain, I hope on his own..

    Fun fact.

    This year's B&F is the first time since 2010 that Nathan Jones has finished outside of the top 5.

    Puts it all on the line every time, never shirks an issue! Attack on the ball is second to none. Toughness in the clinches is as good as it gets. Never a sniper... always there for team mates! What blindness is this that has descended on Demonland?

    • 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.
