He was there. Featured on some of the red carpet coverage, looked like he took a mate to the event.

    A related question...why? Why was he there?

    He was clearly no chance to win, wasn't in the running for mark or goal of the year, wasn't club captain or in the AA team and obviously wasn't this year's Rising Star award winner or Coleman medallist. So who invited him and why? If it was the club's decision, why wouldn't you use that spot for someone else who never gets the opportunity. For example, someone like Neal-Bullen, Salem or Langdon?

    He still got the fourth most votes for our club after Trac, Vin, Gawn…

    Gotta say, the lack of votes he received backs up my views of how wasteful he can be with ball in hand. 

    Of course he missed games in the second half of the season. 

    Hoping next year with a new midfield coach or couple of fresh assistants, we can see him making a stride forward on that side of his game. Cause he needs to improve it big time if we're going to compete at the pointy end again.

    The AFL does the invites. 

    The criteria for invitation are based on a range of factors, including the player's performance throughout the season, their popularity, and their contribution to the sport of Australian football. Past winners get an invite every year.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • 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.
