    Heeney will come back to the field once he attracts some defensive attention. Most clubs have let him run free as he has been less damaging and not living up to his potential. Still a very good player, but we have seen this type of form in the past where it ends up dropping away.

    I like the coaches award. Most accurate award in my books. AFLPA MVP is garbage. Brownlow is worse.

    It’s interesting that of the top 25 we are only represented by 2 players. Over the past few seasons we have been well over-represented. This year I think it’s reflective of a more evenly distributed team effort.

    Agree with your assessment of most accurate. AFLPA MVP is a worthless popularity contest, Brownlow is a biased AF midfielders award.

    Its seems as though most sides have only 2 club representatives at this stage. Getting 3-4 players on the leaderboard is more the exception than the norm, although Oliver, Viney and May are likely to be only one solid game from coming onto the board.

    I reckon Jackson will be his only challenger. although that said, when D'Arcy is fit again Jackson will likely be moved forward.

    I think Clarry will come home with a tailwind, feel like we’ll end with 3 in the top 15

    my wife and son saw him at the local cannings

    they had the same reaction - "he's HUGE"

    disappointingly, they reported that george in his arms looks like a normal sized child for his age...disappointing

    Max was relatively normal sized until a significant growth spurt in his later teens.  Don't give up on young George just yet 😃

    Do they know how old George is? 
    He appears the same size as Lever’s son who is a good two years older. 
    That kid is gonna be a giant. Fear not.

    I reckon that might be closer to it as how could both coaches not vote for Max

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      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.
