    Wow I am shocked Gawn only got 5 votes. Thought he was brilliant and the most influential player on the ground.

    That looks like:

    • 9 = 4 and 5 for both Pickett and Lever
    • 5 = 2 and 3 for both Petracca and Gawn
    • 2 = 1 and 1 for Oliver.

    So very similar assessment by both coaches.

    Look out Brisbane, Clarrie’s not going to like only getting 2 votes in “His Award”

    De Goey got 10 votes.  Even without stella performances each week he could end up on top as there aren't other players of note to consistently take votes from him.  Conversely Oliver, Petracca and Gawn take votes off each other. 

    The same goes for the Brownlow. 

    Would feel 🤢 if De Goey won the Brownlow.

    Do you think he should get more or less?

    Daicos brothers and Pendles are always in the mix LH.  Not sure how DeGoey got 10 in that match.  second half was good but certainly not as noticeable in the first.

    Agreed DD, but will they do it consistently enough...

    ...after all it is a midfielders medal.

    It's tough because the great performers we had on the night were REALLY good performers. I'm ok with them rating Lever high, he was crucial at times. Not going to argue with coaches.

    Ours was a pretty even TEAM effort which reflects the spread.

    In the absence of May, Lever was immense.  Best on IMHO.

    Don’t worry, Ebay Petracca will get himself into trouble sooner rather than later.

    Lever gets 4 and 5 coaches votes. Now watch as he gets ignored by the umpires in the Brownlow who instead give 1 vote to the Bont

    Clarry:  33 touches, 7 tackles, 8 clearances. 2 votes. It shows how much everyone takes what he does for granted.

    Does it?  Or does it say that on the day others played better.

    I will be shot down for this next comment.  Clarry is amazing and consistent for a full game and as a result is a worthy BnF and Coaches champion.  But it is rare that he is the 'game changer'. 

    Our 'game changers' are Gawn and Petracca.  When they go into 'beast mode' there is no stopping them.  They will put in an amazing spell that turns the game and demoralises the opponent.  Like in the GF, on Sat night there was a point where Petracca played as if 'we don't lose this game on my watch' and he went into 'beast mode'.   He is a tactical weapon, breaks the game open and turns it in our favour with an amazing spell on the ball.  Ditto Max.

    Agree.  I think Brownlow should go 

    3- Gawn 

    2- Petracca 

    1- Oliver 

    not sure Kozzzy will get a vote.  Lever should be votes but umps recognizing defenders for votes is a low probability!!

    Consistency king. Clarry is more a 'play starter' whereas Trac is the master of the score involvement.

    Fair enough, although 700 metres is a lot of thrusts giving opportunities.

    Maybe coaches are hard markers or they just remember what Chris Judd did with the ball 

    But if you're trying to fit Max Trac Ollie Kossie and Jake into the mix then the numbers are sure to be difficult to balance

    • 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.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      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.
