The Age has nominated a young player from each club who they tip to have a big 2023 season.

The Melbourne player they have gone with isn't the first one that I thought of.

Without peeking, who do you think might best fit the bill from our club?

    I had already read the article but won't give the answer away.

    Might note the article focuses on players from each club who have already played AFL games which reduces the options somewhat..

    I'd reckon at this stage, Bowey will regain excellence, Rivers will continue to impress in his contributions but Sparrow and JJ will absolutely bloom.

    Kozzie. 21 years old. Back to back 40+ goal seasons. Game changer and match winner.

    Already read the article this morning so know the answer though.

    Would have thought the obvious one is JVR but will go Sparrow otherwise. 
     

    edit. I’ve looked at the article now. Fair call.

    For those who came in late, the players nominated from all clubs have already had some senior experience.

    Highly esoteric pick in the Riv, but highly astute...

    Had a super first half of 2021, looked a million bucks

    Regressed badly this year though, do have to wonder how much impact his pre-season knee injury must've had

    Trent Rivers is a great choice he is going to be a very good player but my choice would have been Sparrow closely followed by James Jordon who needs to take the next step in 2023.!!

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Carlton

      It's Game Day and Clarry's 200th game and for anyone who hates Carlton as much as I do this is our Grand Final. Go Dees.

    • 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.
