    Makes a few people who posted to drop him on the changes thread look a bit silly to say the least...

    Great first game back.

    The split looks like:

    • 5/5 McDonald
    • 4/3 Mills
    • 4/2 Oliver
    • 3/0 May
    • 2/0 Harmes
    • 1/0 Hickey
    • 1/0 Salem

    So both coaches gave votes to McDonald, Mills and Oliver.

    No agreement on May, Harmes, HIckey and Salem.

    If we drop Tom McDonald and James Harmes surely that makes it easier for Gawn, Oliver and Salem to get more votes, and win the award.

    Maxy is due for an absolute blinder. 

    Was  hard on Sat eve  with the ball being so slippery. He dropped a few he'd normally swallow whole.

    Almost as silly as those you suggested Mcdonald plays back.

    I'm a bit surprised that Luke Parker didn't get a vote.  He seemed to bob up with annoying frequency, particularly around those much discussed centre clearances.

    edit:  I just checked his stats to see if it was just my imagination, and he had 32 disposals, 4 marks, 5 tackles and 7 clearances.  That's a good day's work by any standard.

    It really was a good return for Harmes; he battled hard and kept working away at it all despite a loss of form and a few errors. His use of the body in close and in screens was terrific. His ball usage was sloppy at times and at other times, effective. His ability to run and link is a real asset to our game, and it will improve as he, too, adjusts to the new footballing mantras about him.

    Yes, good first game back for Harmes, but he does owe the club.

    You really have to hand it to him. Amazing mental toughness and application to get his body and game back to 2018 level. Put up for trade last year too.

    No-one saw this coming.  As his confidence grows, he could really dominate

    Him and Fritsch on track to get 40-50 goals this season

    Indeed. Dont kniw what game they watched.

    He made a few poor decisions but for tge most part played a ripper even outside the fact it was his first gamr for the season.

    Will be even better with a few games in him.

    So many players are reaching their true potential because of our new winning culture.

    Amazing that 2 of our forwards have gained 10/10 in consecutive weeks and 4 players in the top 12. Shows that there is not an over reliance on 1 or 2 stars.

    • 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.
