Tom Stewart making the team is an absolute joke. Has had an average season and Geelong’s defence has been ****house this year. I genuinely hate Harris Andrews and I’m no Weitering fan, but to have Stewart before them is ridiculous and the AA selectors are just playing favourites.

    I have Tracc and Vines being equal 1ST . Stand by for a shock... Lachie Hunter to finish 4th or 5th in Bluey IMV

    Those that want Hunter dropped every second week NFI.

    AA is as big a joke as the Brownlow these days.

    It's all media driven, boring and cringeworthy.

    So could not give a flying F about these awards anymore. Just popularity contests based on the so called experts in the media.

    Good on those who are recognised but it's just not what playing footy is about. 

     

     

    Spot on.

    Curnow kicked 3 goals in two games against a quality full back in Steven May..  

    Defensive selections dubious in the extreme with Sicily, Stewart and Moore (who is off the boil for a while) .

    Andrews deserved better. But Viney missing out the worst.

    Just win the flag team.

    Jackson LOL. First 6 weeks the supporters wanted their money back

     

    He had 7 games with 10 hitouts or less. Never took more than 7 marks and had limited disposals in 9 games

     

    If that's an AA then I'm a monkeys uncle

    I’m not fussed one way or the other about the AA team. Bigger fish to fry.

    I do question the Jackson selection though. Watched him a lot during the death ride and he put in a lot of mediocre performances. Some standout performances for sure but if that is all that’s required I reckon Gawn more worthy of the jacket

    Congrats Trac, but someone like Zach Merrett ahead of Viney? Are you [censored] kidding me?

    Yep AF, a massive Congratulations to Trac. His 4th blazer got lost in the wash a bit.

    Trac became the third most capped Demon ever behind Gawn (6) and Paxy (5).

    Serong I can deal with. Zach Merrett? Had some ripper games but had some total honkers as well.

    Daicos rover is interesting but you do need him in. From my armchair view I'd have Daicos HBF and Viney Rover but that's my fairyland opinion.

    Couldn't agree more. I'm a fan of Tom Stewart but he seems to have reached this 'gold card' AA membership status. Would have picked one of those other two for sure.

    Kyle Langford, Essendon 

    23 matches this season, 51 goals, 23 behinds 
    Averages 13.7 disposals, 66.9% disposal efficiency, 5.7 marks, 1.6 inside 50s, 1.3 score assists, 0.8 contested marks, 1.6 tackles and 0.9 goal assists

     

    This was a joke surely?

    Decent case for an AA second team.

    Why does the team need 3 FF's and 3 FB's while they name only 1 ruck ( English)? 

    Curnow, Walker and Larkey. FF's

    Wilkie(wtf!), Stewart, Moore.  even Sicily? FB's

    It just means very good players in other positions get denied.  e.g Rowan Marshall is a far superior player to Callum WIlkie.

    Feel like they now want every team to have a player how very equitable of them. Where was that in our dark days, Nathan Jones would be a 4x AA by today’s standards

    It just means people don't notice how good we are anymore because they expect it, and because our contributions are very even across the side. 

    And no better example of your evaluation is our defence.  The best in the league on a year to year basis and collectively, chock full of talent

    Yet not one of our defence gets an AA guernsey?

    So May, Lever, Rivers, Salem, McVee, Bowie & Turner (with Brayshaw helping out) go about their business with a minimum of fuss and they're not noticed? 

    I'm damn sure the opposition & opposition coaches notice them

    Defence wins Championships

    • 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?

    • 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.
