    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 ?

    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.

    Just Maybe?

    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.

    • 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.
