Geez could he actually win the whole thing has been so consistent with no real stand outs in the field I wonder what his odds are

    He's such a stalwart of the team now it's easy to forget he remains eligible for the Rising Star.  13 players have received multiple nominations over 2 years, 3 of them were Demons and one of them played today.

    Without googling do you know who the previous Demons were?

    I hope he doesn't get nominated and doesn't get a vote. Just quietly going about his business will do me just fine. The rising star is an award for bad teams.

    He is a massive chance to win it. Getting significantly better each week. How about that leap!?

    Jackson & Powell the only ones getting better each week. Neither have been nominated this year.

    Reckon Gysberts may have been one

    There's always exceptions to the rule. Stephenson won the whole thing too, fat lot of good it did him when his club was turfing him out the door. Well done on North picking him up by the way, he looks like a serious talent again.

    He has everything. 

    Skills, tenacity, in the air and on the ground, calm decision making. 

    He is going to be a superstar. 

    Move over Bont.

    Looked to move with confidence that I haven't seen from him before in that 3rd quarter

    Since Selwood, Dan Hannebery, Daniel Rich, Dyson Heppell, Daniel Talia, Callum Mills and Jayden Stephenson have all played finals in their Rising Star winning year.

    So a team with a Rising Star winner is more likely to be playing finals that year than not.

    Some place-getters might want to mention their early success too!

    He will win it. He hasn't got much to beat. How many games did Kossie play last year?

    He’ll have to get in line behind 16 other Sydney players that haven’t got one yet. 

    Well, who have they played, only Geelong..

    • 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.
