    Interestingly, we’re seeing a bit of a discrepancy in the Demonland votes and the social media votes.

    I doubt we will in this one though.  Robbo was a very good player and a fan favourite, but Neitz is an MFC great.

    Robbo spent as much effort spoiling Neeta as winning the ball himself. Think of how many times he joined the marking contest and made it harder for Neeta. Neeta would have kicked many more goals if not harassed by Robbo (where were the coaches?).

    Neeta's record is unsurpassed at our club.

    Neitz for me.

    This one hurts.  I love Robbo.  He was one of my favorite players in his day and I have so much respect for the work he put in improving his game and leading the attack in some pretty lean times.  Sadly though those figures up at the top of the page speak for themselves.  There's no category Robbo excelled in the Neitz doesn't top him except for mark of the year nominations.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.
