    Amazingly close count. 

    Daisy is a star ⭐️ 

    Lauren Pearce had a great year as did Tayla Harris. I think Hanks was solid yet can keep on improving. 

    Paxman, Birch and Mithen tied on 47, equal 5th and all three could have easily been higher up in the count.  

    I think Birch was my player of the year.  Premier defender in the game (Steven May like) and was rewarded with All Australian honour.  
     

    Big 23 awaits. Go Dees

    Pearce & Pearce and Tayla & Tyla!

    Quite an even count, represents the season fairly I think. We had different contributors across the season and also several games where there were several who could have made the votes. Amazing effort by Westy to make the leaderboard in her debut season and good to see Bannan and Goldie rewarded too. Of course, I'm a big fan of Heath getting recognition. Definitely a trademark player.

    Fair play Daisy. Just reward for a great season. Here's hoping the Crows list is ransacked this off-season so you can claim that elusive premiership before you hang up the boots

    I hope Goldie is back next year...a real heart & soul player.

    Pretty close to our best in the GF.

    Congratulations to all the award winners. I'm amazed that Daisy won given her start to the year, but well done to her. I would have had her namesake as our best player across the season.

    The move of Prespakis to Essendon fills me with dread. There are four new teams coming in, plus a few perennial under achievers, who have a lot of money and opportunity to throw around to established players. Hopefully players are allowed to sign longer term contracts once all 18 teams are up and running.

    To those who attended - was there any hint that players might be considering offers to relocate, or was there a strong feeling that they are going to stick together and try again to win a premiership together?

    Ive not seen much but from what I have seen Karen Paxman has dominated and knows how to play!

    Congratulations to the winners.  Was a very even team performance and I'd say Daisy's consistency is probably what got her over the line.  She didn't play any poor games but had the one real standout v Freo and then was amongst the best half dozen or so in about 5 or 6 other games.  I liked Birch this year.  Thought she really stood out in a May/Lever kind of way.  Harris and Hanks were both excellent in patches and Lauren Pearce was consistently good.  When only three votes separate the top 7 players it's really luck of the draw.

    Yes through a blanket over the top 5 players including Karen Paxman. Paxman could conceivably have won the B&F.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
