The Villains

I rarely start a topic, but watching Cox, Maynard and Zorko last weekend got me thinking.
Who are the AFL villains by club? And who would supporters of other clubs say is their Melbourne villain?

So I’ve nominated Cox and Maynard for Collingwood and Zorko for Brisbane.
Let’s share our opinions for all 18 clubs.

    Cripps anti-hero more than a villain. He did not deserve the Brownlow.

    T Greene from GWS.

    Tex Walker Adelaide.

    I’ve really grown to like Toby Greene. He’s grown up and quite frankly he’s a superstar. If he played for a team someone cared about he’d be winning Brownlows.


    Dane Zorko for mine. I hate him with the fire of a thousand suns. 

    I won’t name all the Pies players I despise because the list is very long. Moore and the Daicos boys are about the only 3 I don’t want to see suffer long miserable unsuccessful careers.

    Tom Papley only because of that stupid face he makes when he kicks a goal.

    Hawkins for sure - ask May how he managed to get a broken jaw from a "loose" handball.

    I would have put Powell-Pepper for a long time, but I think I have to learned to respect him a bit.

    17 clubs. We don’t have one. 
     

    Edit - Jesus what was I thinking. Angus brayshaw. That thug living a thug life is a stone cold killah who disguises his sniper hits on oppo players with footy acts like kicking only to try and head butt defenceless players (airborne frisbees ) in their shoulders. What a pr1ck!

    I always think about this, and struggle because I really think they're a good bunch. I can imagine people think Clarry's a bit of a punk, and maybe Viney because he's hard at it. Very far from villains though. Weirdly a couple of people I know can't stand Fritta, who to me has always been the most quiet of achievers. Only one that annoys me is old conspiracy Tom, but as a friend of mine once commented, "He's our  [censored]head".

    Of course he is not a villain, but I think that's who opposition supporters probably would choose from our list.

    I hate Hawkins the footballer, but he’s actually a genuinely beautiful human off the field. Much like May actually. 

    He went above and beyond for my friend’s little boy when he was diagnosed with cancer (he’s a Geelong supporter). I’ll always be really grateful for how wonderful he was with him all the way thru his battle.

    It’s because a lot of opposition supporters are balding middle aged men with self esteem issues

    He is a dumb [censored], he’s also an eye gouger, talks rubbish and openly cheats on his partner. 0 stars.

    I saw on one of the “What they’re saying at…” posts, that someone said our Fritter had a punchable head. 😖

    Because Clarry has many times before taken a dive. I get it, it’s annoyed me at times too.

    • 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.
