The three games Max missed will hurt and Langdon had a cracking back half of the season. No question they have been our best 6 this season and by quite some way.

Langdon has a bit of an iffy period early in the year but once he got going I think he’ll poll well. Gawn’s missed matches will drop him down a bit. May and Petracca have had outstanding years but I think Trac’s form has been so consistent and at times match winning it’ll see him get his first Bluey.

I really hope Trac gets it.

The best season by a Demon in a long time. We wanted a genuine superstar and we've now got one.

I think Lever will poll better than many think and would be a smokey for top 5 if one of the obvious choices doesn't poll as well.

Per the thread title, the club are running an online comp:

For what it's worth, the top 5 as I think it will fall out is:

1. Trac

2. May

3. Langdon

4.  Clarry

5.  Gawn

Langdon might not rank as high as 3.

Wouldn't be surprised if Lever is in there but don't know who would drop out of those 5.

Trac 

May

Gawn

Oliver 

Langdon

I’d be happy with Trac and May being joint winners, they have both had enormous seasons.  How May is not in the AA squad is an absolute disgrace.  The bloke should be in the starting 22


Having avidly watched and participated in the voting for Demonland player Of the Year Award all year, the voting reflects a very strong Top 6 and then quite a gap for the 7 - 10 best performers. If we are on the money Jack & Ed will be fighting for 5th spot. But then.!!!!!!

Trac

Oliver

May

Salem and Viney close.

Short memory Cheesy.  In 2018 Gawn won the AFLCA Player of the Year.  Tracc has had a great breakout year and deserves to be AA and along with May would be a deserving Bluey winner but he hasn't been better than Gawn two seasons ago.

I haven't forgotten Swooper, I just rate Petracca's season slightly better.

I haven't seen a Dees player do what Petracca has done this season, in my lifetime (born in the 80s).

His ability to extract the ball, get rid of opponents and power away from the contest is currently unmatched across the league.

Yes, there are many players that have been more prolific but none as dangerous and creative in terms of ability to get from inside to outside.

I'm happy to admit, my view is tainted by the uniqueness of what Petracca brings, as compared to Gawn.

However, it's also easy to under value those that perform when things aren't going as well because we're generally searching for solutions to our failings.

Are any Queensland D'landers going tonight to keep us posted on events and whispers ??

Yeah, I feel like I'm taking a bit of a punt there across the board against the prevailing logic in a lot of ways.

I just suspect that coaches and those within the club might rate the value of Langdon's contributions to the side differently to your average footy jurno.  Even looking back at who myself and other have given votes to with the Demonland player of the year votes, Langdon doesn't feature that strongly, yet when I look back across the season at his enormous efforts he so consistently puts in week in week out and what that has provided for the side in terms of ball movement and structure, 3rd best and fairest doesn't seem too far out if at all.

I thought I was going out on a bit of a limb to have Gawn so far down the list, but I was interested to observe that many others here also see it a similar way - that a) he's probably missed too many games to feature at the very top end and b) that he probably hasn't been in his peak form all the games he's played either.

So close to call between the likes of Patracca, May, Oliver and possibly even Viney in there somewhere that I'm really quite unsure how the cookie will crumble, but will be interested to see how it all pans out.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
