    It would be interesting to run this again in a couple of years if we get a flag.

    I suspect Max will bow out gracefully in the top 4 and we get a Stynes/Lyon playoff...

    Although Neitz is still a dark horse.

    A flag would change things.

    Impossible to vote against either.

    It gets harder tomorrow - Schwarz v Neitz. Messing with my mind.

    Very optimistic of you rjay......& I agree a flag may change things, however, that's more that a couple of years away, let's be honest. (I'm happy to be proven wrong though) ?

    Stynes will also have the number 1 tag stitched up for a long time IMO & can't see any of the new crop challenging Jimmy unless Oliver wins another couple of Bluey's.

    You don't have to vote against anyone 't'.   Just vote for one of them.

    A vote not given implies a vote "against". Can't do it.

    Exactly,  so its not really being disloyal to anyone.  It is just that,  what it is.   A personal truth

    Good as Jones has been for us, he's a long way short of the AFL's best midfielders. Has never been All-Australian.

    Nathan was no slouch , he was a terrific player  played in  ordinary  sides and gave his all.  He held his own against the best.

    Hard nut and most of all loyal. Could easily had left for glory.

    Loved Jimmy; heart and soul player, great athlete, worked hard to get his skills up to scratch, and simply a club legend.

    On Jonesy, for someone who has the knock of not great skills he's kicked some absolutely cracking goals over his career. Maybe people will argue he was the cream that rose to the top during an awful period but I think that's disrespectful to his guts, endeavour, and underrated abilities. 

    One's a champion, the other is a legend.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
