After Round 3 I would have Kozzie, Oliver and Gawn in the AA team for sure.

Not sure if Lloyd has started his rolling All Australian team on the Sunday Footy show yet this season, would be good to see which Demons he has in it.

    Ed Langdon would also have to be in some consideration. 

    I'm sure when the time comes to pick the actual side we'll see a Joel Selwood or Lachie Neale on a wing instead...

    They will put Josh Bruce on the wing.

    Clayton Oliver 100 or so possesions in 3 games at this rate will chalk up 700 possessions for the year. What is the record??

    A.A Easy!!

    Yes changed my original post to add him.  I was too harsh on him for being tagged out of the GWS game for the 1st half but he could have 6 Brownlow votes in the first 2 games

    I reckon they'll correct last year's mistake and give Maysie a jacket this year as well.

    I agree. 

    Plus Harris Andrews has had a mixed start to the year and i haven't seen any other KPD put their hand up.

    Darcy Moore would be a lock for the AA team if it was selected now.

    Ah. Hadn't thought of Moore. Is he better than May though? McKay did kick 4 on him. Although having said that, Greene did kick a few on May at the weekend.

    A lot of hype about Moore but he gets a lot of goals kicked on him

    Would be a massive achievement if Pickett made the team after only 36 games (assuming he plays every game this year) of football.

    Right now, we have about 7 players who would be in the conversation (plus Hibberd, of course, who didn't need the first few rounds of the season for his last AA jersey!), which says something about the evenness of our team this year: May and Lever down back would both be in the frame (although I'd say both are currently on the cusp); Langdon would be a lock for the wing if the selectors truly valued that role; Kozzie is looking very dangerous up forward and would have to be a chance for the FP; Gawn has been superb in his most recent 6 quarters but has probably done enough; and Oliver and Petracca have both started very well.

    Don't overlook Petracca just yet - he's got a high benchmark and is not playing 100% there at the moment but is currently posting career best stats (28 touches, 6 marks, 3 tackles and a goal a game). If he nailed a few more of his in-play shots on goal, we'd be talking about him and the Brownlow already.

    Oliver, Langdon, Kozzi, Lever, Trac in the conversation

    I wonder of the master of best 22's @WERRIDEE is across the form of players from all clubs and could give us the current AA side?   :cool:

    I only really follow Melbourne not the other teams. but as Dub Dee said we will have about 7 or 8 in the conversation as will Sydney the Bulldogs and West Coast who are the teams on fire ATM.

    Interesting. I have a friend who is a mad St Kilda supporter who, like you, doesn’t follow other teams. I thought he’d be the only fan with that approach. (He’d never heard of Caleb Daniel or even about the new man on the mark rule, but he seemed to know the vital statistics of every Saints player.)

    It’s great to be passionate, but the trouble is that it is easy to get carried away with our ability and not have a realistic view of the opposition.

    I personally think Moore is overrated. Good, but overrated.

    Still, the same people who are gushing over him are the ones picking the AA team so he's in.

    If Salem keeps up his form he would be in the conversation.  Very difficult to be considered among the best couple of back flankers in the comp though, there are some guns in that position.  But man has he been good so far this year.

    Room for both. Moore is much more comparable to Lever with his roaming intercept style of play. He has been in great form.

    Only seen Moore v Carlton and he let McKay off the chain. Very difficult to play intercept role and take the No.1 forward for the opposition. It's a tall order if that's what the coaching brains trust at collingwood expect from him.

    Lever has been pretty good so far. What the chances both May and Lever make the team? It would be some effort if they both managed it.

    Salem has to be in the conversation. He's having an excellent season.

    • 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.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
