Where would you have them? 

Dogs have an excellent inside mid rotation even without Dunkley. I'd have them second after us. The wings or lack thereof is problematic but the core of their midfield is still excellent.

GWS have what should be one of the better starting trios in the league, with Green, Kelly & Cogs. Finn Callaghan & Lachie Whitfield as wing options too. 

I'd have Dogs #2 & GWS ahead of several teams listed above them on that list.

Alas the game is played on grass & not paper....!

    These articles are subjective and based on lasts years stats and trades. 

    Giants have / had a lot of talent but always fail to deliver.

    Hunter and Dunkley are two massive outs for the dogs, yes they still have Bont, Libba, Macrae and Treloar but losing talent has to hurt. 
     

    Cats are another year older, Danger is 32, Gutherie isn’t a gun. 
     

    Interesting season ahead, only 5/6 clubs with a real chance.

    My top 4 would be Melbourne, Carlton , Brisbane and Dogs.

    Richmond ranked at 5 is ridiculous as I would even have the filth ranked above them.

    • Premiership player

    • 2xB&Fs, including one in a premiership season

    He'd be, arguably, in the top half dozen players at Melbourne IMHO.

    There’s no arguably about it, no chance, wouldn’t even be top 10.

    Not sure about top half dozen...but Guthrie is a jet. Balanced & skilled, would compliment us really well actually!

    Regardless of where you rate Gutherie, we have arguably the no.1 midfield in comp, we’ve had the no.1 ranked defence over the last 2 seasons. We finished the H & A season last year 2nd after playing some ordinary predictable football in the back half of the season, along with a few injuries. An argument could be made for our depth compared to other top 4 hopefuls. Barring major injuries to a number of players there are simply no excuses this season, none. Top 2 finish is a must.

    If you just go by the center bounce starting four, you could reasonably argue that...

    Gawn, Oliver, Viney, Harmes

    and

    Grundy, Petracca, Brayshaw, Pickett

    ...would both be in the top 10. Neither would be first, but both sets would compete with any other team at a bounce.

    • 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.
