I watched the game with the audio being about 5 seconds behind vision, so the votes may be slightly askew:

Hanks

Birch

Harris

D Pearce

Colvin

Though I was there, I'm afraid I can't vote faithfully. Missed 1st quarter (see game day thread) and stood where full game appreciation is difficult - at true ground level, almost below most of the field's level, and mainly at north-end (scoring end and building shade) 'Grandstand' inaccessible, eastern wing 'stand' looking into the sun and heat.

I'll watch the replay and will post then if that's acceptable and timely.

And now done.

Paxman's game better than I thought, just wilted towards the end?

Lots of HMs - Heath, Goldrick, Zanker, Colvin, Hore, general-on-the-field D.Pearce, etc, and I reckon some of Fitzsimon's efforts might be credited to Hanks?😉, but I'll go with

An apology to Harris and I thought Lampard tried hard all day

This was a hard one, I didn't feel anyone was outstanding so about 10 players could have snuck in for a vote.

I'm with you there. I find giving votes difficult at the best of times, but this was tricky.

We'll done, you two: AFLCA votes had Sarah Lampard high up. As a spectator, it's not always easy to appreciate a back's game.

Doing the numbers, one coach had Lampy BOG and no votes from the other coach.  Dal Santo would have felt L Pearce was influential and on top all day so gave her the BOG 5 votes.  Don’t Dees rucks always dominate!  So Mick liked Sarah’s game. There were a few clangers in the windy conditions but she worked really hard and our backline needs her.

I've been looking at the coaches votes each week and have found them puzzling. I couldn't have Harris as BOG, but she did play well. At least two of her shots at goal were from frees. I thought Hanks was BOG by a clear margin then Pearce etc. McNamara was terrific last week in spite of her early clangers (much like Lampard's this week) but didn't feature too highly in the votes.

In the AFLCA votes, I'm usually agreeing and rarely surprised, but not so with the AFLW.

Really want to shout out for Libby Birch.  Had another very good game and now a leader and key defender at the club. Love her style !!

Another one to thank Daisy for. If memory serves, she had a part in getting Libby into footy from netball and then across to the Demons from the Bulldogs.

  • 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?

  • 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.
