Oliver's football resume to date:

-3× All Australian 

-4× Best and Fairest

-2× AFLCA player of the year

-Premiership player

It's insane to think that this guy is barely half way through his career.

Add 150 more games, maybe a Brownlow, another 2 B&F and another 3xAA (excluding all his Premiership medals) and much as I hate to say it...move over Robbie Flower. That Gawn and Petracca are in the same team at the same time is nuts. We have to win at least one more premiership and hopefully 2-3 more with these guys in  our team.

I reckon we need a vote. Something like ‘Is Goodwin the right guy’.

Just throwing out there. Oh, wait.

That's disappointing. Leaving in these circumstances is tough for all concerned.

Pfft my table was way closer to the stage. Besides she’s brunette whereas I’m more an Oskar Baker shade of red. 

 

surprised petty was only 15th

not as surprised to see brown, lever and harmes where they were or salem missing (given injuries)

surprised jordon was as high as he was given he was dropped when it got tot the business end

Jordon wasn't dropped, he was clearly hampered by his knee injury from r19.

Goody:

Winning after winning 

Tough and brutal

competition 

We finished 2nd but in the end after the finals, disappointly if hurt 

Wanted to do it for Melbourne faithful and enjoy a win at the MCG 

Aim to create winning behavior and culture of success 

Last 2 weeks analyzing what needs improvement 

+10 consecutive wins 

+growth and premiership of Casey (!!!) Mark Corrigan

ways to get better - culture and game style and adding VFL talent

Need to put pieces together to get back to the top

thank you to 65000 members 

in the words of “Neale Daniher” … ‘Become a person of value’.   

Fifth..

Was Luke Jackson there? Anyone talk to him.

I hope people got around yze to tell him I hope he's sticking around. I'm assume he would be 

I look at the top 10 and think what a group of talent like Iv'e never seen before.

Sure Goody and Dees have some issues but with hard work and smart recruiting I'm looking forward to 2023 to watch this list grow again. (Someone here a while ago predicted LJ would be 15th - close at 14th) ahead of only compromised layers. Dissappointing end to an heroic 3 years with us. But best wishes to him)

And Clarry as a once in a generation talent .

I’m sure some will never accept it, but it’s crystal clear that the coaches really value what role players like ANB (8th tonight) bring to the club.  It’s not all about the commonly talked about stats.

True that.

However it doesn't mean ANB is not also in the" bottom 6" and is  not as good as role players in the Premiers " bottom 6"


Clarry is a Champion.  Absolutely one of our greatest players ever. 


Trac runner up and deserves high praise for another sensational year. Well spoken young man. 

Mayzy getting third is great recognition for his role and his backline leadership.  Love his speech.  Relaxed after a few “reds”.  
 

If they "lowballed" Jadyn surely it means they can't balance their books .

Paying $600,000 for Grundy?

Imagine the list carnage if they'd had to pay to keep Jackson. 

They were already stuck with Weideman for another year and no one  else wanted him( unlike Hunt)

Geez Loiuse..

We probably low balled him because he isn't very good 

A great time to be a supporter. Clarrie , Trac and Gawn will achieve Demon Legend status and  likely will become AFL  Hall of Fame members. Now for another flag or two.

You make tough decisions early so you don’t end up doing a Collingwood who will be paying around $700K next for players not on their list

its clear we don’t see Hunt as part of our plans and the coaches expect Bowie etc to replace him next year

Surprised to see ANB above Langers. His work rate is obviously highly rated.

I think it is more the role he plays where he helps the backs out and yes, uses his workrate to link through the middle. But he also does some disruption around stoppages for CO13 and CP5. Not to mention allowing CP5 to pizz off forward sometimes by himself as he follows his bloke.

I actually think it is a problem to have a FORWARD have that much responsibility that isn’t to getting in the right spots for us to move the ball and hit dangerous spots in the F50.

Next year, we need to tweak our web and the direction to our forwards so we actually have players coming at the ball carrier. We also need to up our pressure again but let’s not get into it in this thread. 

This thread is to celebrate our Demon God Clayton. May we all live in eternal damnation and evil fire at his altar.

Amen

Both can be true. He played VFL after being omitted from the afl side, that’s dropped. But it was injury related.

I think his form started to tail off a fraction before injury anyway. He’s our fittest mid, I believe he even beats Langdon on training gps, but it’s a long season for still a young player.

Demonland voters have once again picked the same winner as the Club - and in this instance have the same Top 6, albeit slightly different order.

  • 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.

  • 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.
