Three rounds into the season and Sydney have won all three rising star nominations.

It should be renamed from the Rising Star Award to The Academy Awards.   I look forward to the day the Melbourne Football Club is given free talent without having to give up anything.

    they invested in these kids since they were under 12s and gave up points at the draft table in order to claim them - braeden campbell cost the points equivalent of pick 5 and and errol gulden cost them pick 32...before discounts

    what they should not have been able to do is have any 'discount' applied to them

    same goes for the dogs claiming jamarra ugle-hagan with pick 1 in 2020 and (probably) the filth with nick daicos with pick 1 later this year

    Its a bit rich Scott complaining about 'the cost' of Syd Academy players:  Geelong got umpteen father/sons for very late junk picks:  Ablett, Hawkins, Scarlett etc etc.  without whom they would not have won any of their most recent flags.

    Pies have 4 father/sons players and will get one next year; touted to be #1 in the draft and they have two top NGA players. 

    Bulldgos got JUH and never invested a minute in his development - a quirk of geography gave him to them.  At least Sydney invest time and money into their guys.

    And if other clubs thought highly of Gulden they should have bid for him earlier to force Sydney to pay a higher price. 

    Lots of sour grapes among Vic clubs.

    I clicked on this thread and expected to see a video of Dangerfield and Selwood staging for frees.

    • 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.
