Gone are the days are all of Trac, Oliver and Gawn having a mortgage of the top 10/15 of everyone's list but well done to Viney for cracking #7. Never thought I'd see him that high!

The umpires loved his season too.

Dwayne still can't convince me that Gawn isn't a better and more vaulable footballer than Zac Merrett or Tom Liberatore.

    I love Jack Viney but that's some serious over-rating

    It’s a judgement on season 2023. That’s not stupid if you take Jack’s performances. Clearly his best season by far.

    the majority of the list could be ratings for 2023. there are usually a couple of dozen surprises each year. Lazy effort

    i wound predict :

    Walsh to bolt into the top 10

    Andy Brayshaw to bounce back hard and into top 25. smokey for the brownlow 

    Dusty to slide

    Larkey stiff as. North will improve. he should kick 90

    Fritsch to be fit all year and kick 70. would be in my top 40

    etc

    Bit harsh. He's part of a 24/7 sports station, with an emphasis on AFL (thankfully). It was simply an opinion piece showing rare respect for our beloved Jack. I'd listen and read Dwayne's stuff any day if Corn 🌽  is the alternative. 

    " Corn" is paid to be contentious..he does it very very well and sometimes is both amusing and self depreciating and even  occasionally on the money. 

    Dwanye has no insight,nor virtues as a commentator or and analyst. 

    Only BT is worse

    many on here speciously overate our list in my view WE will struggle to make the 8 WE blew two years of chances and other teams are now equal or better

    I absolutely love your optimism, but here and on other threads.

    • 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.
