Lots of respect for Lloydo and his insight analysis into the game.

Good summary behind his reasonings and the strengths of each player.

His assessment of big Maysie ...well i won't spoil it (2nd reel)....

20 - 16 ...

Excellent assessments.  The vision of Maysie shows just what a pillar he is in our back half.

I genuinely think May is our most important player - because of the risks he allows us to take at stoppages to blow a game open.

I also love that he’s filthy on literally every goal that gets scored against us. We could be 80 points up with 2 minutes to play and he’ll give Hunty or Riv a spray if he doesn’t think they were in the best spot to stop the goal. You’d love/hate playing with him.

I'm struggling with the thought of listening to Lloyd for 15 minutes or so.  Would someone mind posting where he has ranked Demon players🙏

Same Luci. It’s ok when he’s talking about our players but yeah, a good ol’ fashioned list would suffice.

Its made worse by stretching it out by doing the ranking in lots of 5 rather than 10.

A few paras summarising each video would be most welcome but the AFL seems to want us to watch their boring commentators on videos and podcasts.  Who has that much time or interest.

A little animation in his monotonous voice wouldn’t go astray. 😁

I wondered if it was just me, but I only ever read the articles of interest on the AFL website. I could think of nothing worse than listening to or watching  endless podcasts/videos of AFL journos.

Haha, I'm right with you there LH. However I suffered through him (better than expected) and:

May 14;  Gawn 9;  Petracca 5;  Oliver 2

Hope you're going well

I'm great.  Lots of water under the bridge in the last few years, eh?

Hope LA is still great for you.

He should easily win too........the biggest brown nose and the biggest pusher in the back and the biggest thrower and the biggest free kicker as well.Is that the criteria?

The revenue in video advertising is considerably better, and the content itself can stretch across to different channels more effectively - specifically those aimed at growing the game.

It’s a good point though. It’s not enough to just be a former player, you have to be able to present the information with passion and interest.

Calm down picket, OIiver's amazing but there's nothing at all unreasonable about someone putting Cripps above him right now. Whether we like it or not, Cripps has reached incredible levels so far this season.

I'm more miffed at May only being 14.

Biggest surprise was Tom Stewart.  Can't recall him being anywhere in the top 20.  Our 4 were the right 4, maybe Langdon a bit stiff.

No, we can all have opinions. I’m sure she is a lovely lady, just find her very difficult to listen to.

Forgive me for being lazy (and I can't listen to Lloyd) but are you staying that Tom Stewart wasn't listed in the top 20?  Horrible by Lloyd if so.  He's been the most important player of a team finishing top the last 3 years.  The moment he went down last year there whole defence turned into an absolute basket case.

We need to take the blinkers off here Picket haha!  As much as Oliver is by far my most favourite player and I think will be the demons most decorated player ever, even I struggle to have him in front of Cripps this year.

Cripps has been sensational whether killing it in the centre or going forward kicking goals.  He's having an amazing year.

The going forward and kicking goals is the only reason I'd have him above Clayton this year.

Are you talking about Patrick Cripps?

If so, then it’s clearly opposites day on your planet since he is none of those things.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
