    Generally the worst footy related entertainment of the year.  Will only be good if a dee wins.

    I don't understand why this isn't on the 12th or 13th to give the media time to focus on the brownlow winner.

    Anyway I think the top 5 will be:
    Wines
    Oliver
    Bont
    Steele
    Petracca

    Would love to see Clarry win it. Deserving IMO.

    But I think it will go to Wines. Apart from Boak he doesn't have the level of competition for votes that Clayton has with Gawn, Trac, Lever etc.

    The way the umpires fawn over the Bont, you can already tell he's got it in the bag. 

    Oliver will be lucky to finish top 3.

    I'd expect Little Lord Fauntleroy of Essendon to poll well.  He played some outstanding games this year.

    Oliver should win it but won't IMO.  Clarry isn't popular with the umps when compared to Bont.

    Or as popular with opposition players evidently,  Wasn't even top 5 in the AFLPA MVP.  What an absolute joke. Talk about a popularity contest.

    I think it's OK to be a hardcore, one-eyed, Demon fan and also be able to acknowledge that Bontempelli is a fantastic player who has had a very, very good year. 

    Bont
    Wines
    Oliver

    It’s gonna be one boring events. Two clubs with 75 people each who can’t drink and can’t mingle. Fun times. 
    Brownlows are boring at the best of times. This will be a total hoot. Just hope Clarry is in the mix late to keep it exciting.

    Meggs anticipates Ollie Wines to vote very strongly but expects Jack Steele to surprisingly pilfer the Charlie. With 5 All Australians, Meggs can’t see one of Clarry, Trac, Gawn, Lever or May accruing sufficient votes to win it.  But he’s still hopeful one of them can…after all it’s the year of the Dees!

    Not really fussed about a Brownlow Medal.

    If Clayton Oliver, Christian Petracca or Max Gawn win one it would be nice. 

    However, I would much rather prefer them with Premiership medallions and one of them winning a Norm Smith Medal though!

    Its true really, we all remember what happened a week later when Woewodin won the Brownlow in 2000...

    TBH Clarry had the un/fortunate challenge of being surrounded by Tracc/Gawn/Viney who most certainly challenged his contributions. Having said that, ONLY a freak of competition like Oliver could have polled so well. Bont is the same in some regard, but not to the level that Clarry has done.

    To stand out amongst the all-Australian talent within the team says something..

    Ollie Wines for me, Bont second.

    Clarrie will fly home in the last eight rounds but early on Tracc, Gawn, TMac, Lever, Salem and Langdon will have their fair share of votes.

    I'll be shocked if Lever gets any votes. He should, but umpires seem incapable of giving votes to anyone who doesn't start in the middle of the ground.

    • 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.
