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)....

    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

    Thanks Rob, you're a gem!

    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.

    Yep quite painful, almost on par with Daisy Pearce.

    Our Daisy is a star commentator.

    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.

    Fair enough.

    I dare not ask what you think of her co-commentators like Taylor, Brayshaw et al,

    Are you talking about Patrick Cripps?

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

    • AFLW REPORT: Gold Coast

      The forecast said wind. The ladder said mismatch. The scoreboard said obliteration. Melbourne didn’t just beat Gold Coast — they dismantled them: 13.15 (93) to 0.6 (6). An 87-point obliteration, the Suns held goalless, and the Demons delivering their second-highest winning margin and third-highest score in AFLW history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #28 Will Verrall

      It was a tough ask for him to break through as a 199cm ruckman in the shadow of an all-time great in that position who is also the club captain. He had some good days at Casey but was unable to progress and was delisted at the end of the season.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #29 Tom Campbell

      The 33-year-old Campbell has yet to play AFL football for Melbourne, but his Casey form has been strong and he has been retained as a ready-made ruck depth option who is widely regarded as someone who is excellent for the culture of the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #30 Harry Sharp 

      The Demons acquired an interesting player in Sharp, who narrowly missed securing a spot in the Lions’ premiership team last year. The 22-year-old medium forward played in the opening round this season and ended up with 18 senior games, although he was substituted in or out in for ten of those matches. He demonstrated glimpses of form, but ultimately ended the year on the margins of the team.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

      Worked his way back after a slow start and a further slump in form going into the midseason but became a solid contributor for the club in the latter half of 2025. Closing in on 300 goals for the club.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.
