Tried to pick the side for position and not AA style, could be an argument that my back six is a bit too tall, cannot go past LOVETT on HB, WIGHT also just just over LEVER, after all he did match it with God. I think gets the speed / strength balance right with Wight in the team. WARD and RIVERS thereabouts in Defense and JETTA/GARLAND were pretty outstanding in some crap sides. DAVEY and JOHNSTONE elite ball users. WHELAN was just such a weapon, would want him on my shoulder anywhere, JETTA not far behind his 1v1 wins are/were brilliant.

GREEN never felt like he reached everything he could be and great clubman that he is felt like he mailed it in sometimes (sorry). BRUCE's hospital passes still frustrate me even though he purred like a big cat running and had the ball on a string.

Mids/Followers -- Oliver is clear head and shoulders above everyone else, and Petracca in last 18mth> Woewodin/Bruce/McDonald/Jones/Moloney. Tingay was the 2nd coming of Jesus until he damaged the nerve, am still sad about it too...

Forwards - I would back this combination against any other team I can think of, three talls(sort of) Lyon, Jackovich, Schwarz...Boomshakalaka, Smalls - Farmer, Robertson, and Davey would be cricket scores every week. 

Interchange - elite ball users all, for excellent delivery to our marking power and Stynes as the utility.

Fairway off some of the other teams posted here - Jurrah just not enough of a body of work, I do see an argument for Jeff White over Stynes as well. My sincere apologies to Woewodin/Jones/MCDonald, I am trying to take Langdon out of the wing for one of them, and am probably suffering from memory loss but Langdon's run and improved disposal has been incredible. Powell not forgotten, Moloney on song was good but a one trick pony with disposal for too long. Apologies to FEEBY/ VINEY (Both)/

B: WIGHT, MAY, WHELAN

HB:  RIVERS, NEITZ, B.LOVETT

C: LANGDON, PETRACCA, TINGAY

HF: LYON, SCHWARZ, DAVEY

F: FARMER, JAKOVICH, ROBERTSON

FOLL: GAWN, PETRACCA, OLIVER

IC: STYNES, JOHNSTONE, SALEM, YZE

Emergency (am sorry but I cannot make this smaller)

LEVER, WOEWODIN, JURRAH, WHITE, MCDONALD,  JETTA, JONES, S. FEEBY

I’m a bit surprised with the amount of teams without Nate Jones in them.

Team captain, 3x B&F and 2nd for all time games played made him a certain starter for mine.

Huge love for the man, also for James MCD but who do you drop? Captains didn't fair well with my side, despite my love for them, Green didn't get an emergency spot either.

@SupermercadoAlso re Bennet - very good point!!!

I feel dirty that I didn't have room for S Febey. If Salem has another year like this year he becomes a starter.

CAVEAT if the team salutes on the 25th, then all of my selections become null and void, and the winning team is the greatest since 1964.

I stand by my team. Green stiff not to be in. This is my B team.

I completely forgot about Rivers and Nathan.Brown so Rivers goes to CHB and N.Brown replaces Grinter at half back.

  • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
