My best guess based on that list:

Backline

Stewart May Lever

Allir Weitering Rich

Midfield

Gawn(c) Wines Oliver

Bont Walsh Miller

Forwards (+ Mids who can play forward)

Petracca Hawkins Stringer

Greene McKay Papley

Interchange (Mids who couldn't fit in the 18)

Salem Parish Macrae Zorko

 

I would have had Boak in but apparently I can't choose him so I'll go with Zorko. 

I think I'm being greedy having Salem on the bench so of they go NicNat he'll probably fall out but I feel like a bloke that can't play more than 15 minutes a game shouldn't be in the side

Papley and Cameron you could flip a coin, I think Cameron had a slow start to the year so I went Papley

I hope Gawny gets the captaincy, I think the dogs free fall might have cost Bont his chance at it, but I wouldn't be upset at Greene getting it his leadership turned that side around mid year. Other than that there isn't many choices

I’d love if the followers line was Gawn, Oliver, Petracca all together 

I'd love this too but unfortunately Trac's too good so they'll make him a forward so they can get Wines and Walsh in the middle

    This is really interesting. It shows that not only are we doing well now, but we have also set ourselves up for sustained success. 

    If I were a Geelong, Richmond, Hawthorn or West Coast supporter, I could live with these numbers because it's a consequence of having been successful. On the other hand, it suggests more pain is in store for supporters of Carlton, Collingwood and St Kilda.

    What a huge change this is for us supporters seven players nominated in the All Australian Team, I can remember the envy that I felt when the top sides would dominate the AATeam and we would hope to get a Dee into the team. This is what real success feels like it is all encompassing and hard earned I feel so happy and grateful to be a Dee supporter.!!!

    Gawn and Naitanui will both be in the side, as they should be.  Both are in the top echelon of players in the competition.  Two rucks is now "normal" for AA sides. 2010 - Sandilands, Jamar; 2012 - Naitanui, Cox; 2018 - Gawn; Grundy; 2019 - Grundy, Gawn; 2020 - Naitanui, Gawn.  Darcy has been named in the 40 as the "heir apparent".

    Ah yes, Lever in his favoured position of left back pocket.

    Stoked to see May get the nod in full back. Deserves it after missing out last year.

    Is Allir a fraction lucky?

    Yep. Weitering has had a better more consistent season.

    Agree totally, I am quite shocked Weitering wasn’t named on the ground.

    Never heard of Coaches Best Young Player award.

    Neither. What a confusing award. How is it different to Rising Star?

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      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.
