Maxy Gawn and Track are the front runners:-

60. Max Gawn
50. Christian Petracca 
42. Jack Viney
32. Clayton Oliver
24. Steven May
19. Michael Hibberd
17.  Ed Langdon
12. Angus Brayshaw 
10. Oscar McDonald
7. James Harmes
6. Mitch Hannan Jake Lever Trent Rivers
5. Kysaiah Pickett Adam Tomlinson
4. Tom McDonald Christian Salem
3. Jayden Hunt
2. Jay Lockhart 

 

Now that the votes have been tabulated there should be recognition of some outstanding efforts by those who did not get votes but whose contribution made a huge difference.

Hannan's two passes to Weed and Melksham when he was entitled to have a shot himself showed match awareness and vision to take the best options and execute perfectly. Long time since we have seen this in our team. His chase and tackle to win a free kick which he converted was magnificent. Three touches, three goals - a major contribution.

Kozzie's pass to Harley at the end was priceless. Again, it took match awareness and vision with perfect execution. Earlier in the quarter Kozzie retrieved a loose ball in the backline and in a flash hand passed it to a running team mate. So what you might ask. Well it was the shepherd that followed that set him apart - simply superb and completely freed up his team mate. Maturity in a young recruit.

Late, but...

I was contemplating not giving Oliver any votes because he butchered the ball so badly. However, in the end he gets one vote for obviously listening to the coach and making a greater effort to kick the ball rather than blindly handpass it. 

I'm also surprised that Hannan got so many votes. He's impresive when he's near the ball. he just doesn't get near it often enough. I also contemplated votes for Weideman for the opposite reason. He got to the ball a lot and while he had only a few possessions himself, his work at the contest brought the other forwards into the game.

  • 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.
