    Was so pleased to see Trac shake off the fumbles he had at the start of the game (and to begin the season). I've been critical of him early on with his disposal and handballing to the feet of his team mates. Hopefully the perfect connection he had with the forwards several times in the second half on the weekend will boost that confidence.

    Trac not bad for someone who wasn’t that influential, hey Sam Mitchell.

    Strange he made that statement then gave him 5 votes, maybe he watched the replay.

    Lol.

    Based on coaches votes, the three best players in the Australian Football league were all top-pick selections taken under special concession rules for the Television-Zone clubs.

    Heeney; bid at pick 2, taken with pick 18 - a discrepancy so dramatic that the points system was introduced.

    Green; points-based matched bid inside the top 10, using leftover junk draft picks after the Giants had already used pick 4.

    Rowell; bonus No.1 pick given to Gold Coast because of how rubbish they chose to be. (Concessions given also included three other top-20 picks spread over the 2019-20 drafts)

    AFL would be delighted I'm sure that 8 of the top 10 players from interstate clubs.

    But, wait, the TV clubs have all had an extra round to earn votes in early.

    It is almost as if the main point of round zero was to push selected clubs to the top of the apparent ladder. Hrrrmm....

    I think Mitchell was referring to Oliver, not Petracca.

    Surprised Gawn received votes. I thought he was quite poor with his disposal.

    He was in the best players in both the Age and HS, as well as receiving 7 on the Footy Show.  He clearly beat the Hawthorn ruck and fed the dominant midfield most of the day.  Mitchell rates him very highly - part of his game plan against us is to avoid kicking it to Gawn - and I dare say Mitchell gave him his 2 votes.

    Definitely some poor kicks like the one to Kozz that should have hit him up easily with no one around, instead went out of bounds (Kozz slapping the ball in anger :)

    BUT apart from hitouts where it was pretty even he was influential across the ground

    10 Contested possessions

    7 inside 50's

    390 Metres gained (fourth on ground)

    6 tackles

    Some of the stats that show he did really impact the game. Some of the stuff he does for a ruckman his size is just crazy.

    Wow. Good observation. Jackson was certainly the one that got away & had we kept him we'd have not had Grundy

    True that, DeeZone. Maybe the worm is turning. Either way, I’ll keep riding it until he’s acknowledged legend status.

    Like a friend of mine in our Cricket Club last century I always said “l’d rather play with him than he play for the  opposition “

    Thats Gawny !! Also to a tee.

    Jack Viney (Melbourne)

    “Two weeks in a row he’s missed out on votes when he probably could have easily got them.

    “He was second highest rated player (against Hawthorn) behind Christian Petracca for zero coaches votes.

    “His ball use at the moment is No.12 of any midfielder in the competition. We haven’t really associated that with Jack Viney before.”

    • 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.

    • 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.
