Votes from Sunday:

  • 10 Gawn
  • 7  Salem
  • 4 McDonald
  • 3 Petracca
  • 3 Oliver
  • 2 O'Meara
  • 1 Lever

Just to try and see how the coaches rated the players compared with the Votes on here

 

Max   got both 5 votes

Salem must therefor have been given a 4 and a 3,

McDonald must then have the other 4,

One 3 left                  

one 2 and one 1

O'Meara got a 2

because Lever got 1

So either Petracca got a 3   and Oliver got a  2 and 1   or the other way round

 

Is that the way it was ?

4 players in the top 14. Fantastic stuff.


No surprise Salems output is rated by the CA.

Love seeing Salem on that leaderboard. He's having a career best year. He's been a steady and reliable player in our side for the last five or so years, but it seems that he's finally taking the next step.

Having a brilliant year. Solid in defence! He’s taken 33 marks for the year which is 1 behind big Max! Only 1 other defender in the top 20  coaches votes.

Just interesting that both coaches saw Max as BOG  but both also had Salem up high in the best, some disparaging remarks on this site, Tmac getting a four,  might surprise.  and Lever only getting one vote  also a surprise.   well i thought he did well.

I think we all see what reinforces our beliefs, a bit like politics,  But coaches should know what they are doing.........


I’ve always thought that the coaches votes are the best indication of how the players went. They know better than the umpires and media. (And maybe better than we Demonlanders.) The  Brownlow has the prestige, but the AFLCA award is the real deal.

Unlikely.

Perhaps not as individuals, but there is some merit in the argument that as a group we are more often likely to be right than wrong.

````Unfortunately, Oliver and Petracca will 'take votes' from him and each other which makes it less likely that any of them will win it.

A good thing too. I don't want any of our players burdened with a Charlie around their neck going into the grand final.

Which is why it might be hard for Maxy to win a Brownlow - too much competition for votes in his own side.

Given their position on the ladder, surprising that Sydney doesn't have a player in the top 20.

  • 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?

    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.
