I’m not sure how people here are assessing Munkara. Is it the highlights reel or have people taken the trouble to watch him play in a full game? I had to refresh my memory so I went back in time to April/May, both before and after that Australian Academy game v Collingwood VFL. At the time, the pundits rated his game highly but not top of the top shelf but were impressed enough back then to rate him in the top ten in their rankings. 

We should accept the reasons he’s given for being off the scene for a couple of months and he’s certainly been forgotten by many during that time but there’s no way this bloke is going to be on a rookie list next year.

    So this kid gets picked to play in the elite exhibition match for the Australian Academy vs Collingwood, plays well, catches the eye of recruiters, disappears with an injury and conveniently returns on the eve of the draft. Essendon family and Essendon NGA. Nothing to see here.

    Is he top 40 is the question. 
     

    If so, he might not get his wish.

    An excellent question. We won’t know what club recruiters think until the draft itself. However, I’ve seen some on line gradings that put him in the top 10 after the Academy game.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
