    6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 all go to the club.

    But if we need to do it:

    6 - Petracca
    5 - Oliver
    4 - Jackson
    3 - Fritsch
    2 - Brayshaw
    1 - Salem

    I think that’s absolutely correct. Can’t understand how anyone could overlook the contribution of Jackson.

    To beat the Dogs by 74 points with Gawn, Lever and May being quiet and Daniel and Bont playing well shows you how good our best players were and how deep our side was too. Everyone played their role for a decent chunk of the game.

    Difficult not to put Jackson in the votes because his going into the centre in Q3 changed the game. But I can't see whose place he should take.

    I can't help but feel the Dogs put a huge amount of time into Gawn, Lever and May. To a small extent maybe, a degree of disrespect towards the rest of our team.

    Riewoldt said on the post-match Fox coverage that we can beat sides in different ways. He's right. The simpletons in the AFL media think we're just a defence-first side who wins games based of intercept possessions. We're a lot more than that.

    We've had multiple paths to goal (or to behinds) this year that's for sure and a nice mix between fast and controlled ball movement, ideally with some more kicking game to build on for years to come I hope.

    But certainly the best thing about our defensive structure is it doesn't rely on racing up to force turnovers, nor does it allow teams free reign if they switch. It's so nice to see teams switch and get nowhere! The intercepting is plan A, but in forcing teams to kick it to strange spots they risk more turnovers. And in forcing teams to play their talls defensively they suddenly aren't attacking by definition. If Schache is just trying to hold off Lever then he's not marking it himself. 

    Apart from some quick clearance entries the only real weapon the Dogs had was using Bont as a marking forward.

    Congratulations to our TEAM, including Goody and all of our off-field coaches and support staff.  It almost feels a bit unfair to separate a top six given the contributions of everyone across what has been a stellar season, but this is my crack at it:

    6.  Petracca

    5.  Oliver

    4.  Salem

    3.  Fritsch

    2.  Gawn

    1. Brayshaw

    • 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.
