    I didn't see (and won't be seeing...) the game.

    I'm interested to see if those who did saw any place for a Dee.

    Goodwin's voting is eloquent.

    certainly no Demons deserved a vote

    even if double the votes were given out

    I wouldn't have given any Dee a vote

    I probably would have give the 5 to Waterman; he was immense and a great comeback story.  A lot of Fraser Gehrig about him.

    Reid is something else!  Probably worth the 3 first rounders we could have offered and even the 2 and 3 Nth wouldn’t cough up.
    Only injury can stop him imho.

    Agreed, at least Goody didn't go down the Chris Scott route

    They are an accurate reflection of the game.  Wouldn't have had a Demon anywhere near the top 6 or 7 players on the ground.

    Absolutely not.

    ANB, Chin and Kosi were OK, as was Salem in his first game back post hammy.

    The rest had games they would want to erase from memory.

    If Steven May has not punched a large hole in a wall post game I'd be surprised.

    First match since Round 9 2020 where no Melbourne player polled any coaches votes.

    Agree with those votes. West Coast have some top shelf players who played incredibly well on the day and our players were way off. I do find it a bit weird that Reid and Waterman can play like deadset the best 2 players in the competition, Darling, Kelly and McGovern can wind back the clock and Liam Ryan can rediscover his mojo ALL ON THE SAME NIGHT that Gawn, May, Petracca and co suddenly look like suburban footballers. That's footy I guess, and why "8 goal win minimum" style comments in the pregame threads rarely age well.

    I wonder if Goodwin put into time into the above players? Probably not as he plays a systems game plan when most other coaches effectively use a /several tagging roles each week.

    Shutdown Kelly or Reid 

    Nullify McGovern 

    Craig McRae did it vs eagles the prior week.  He had a strategy.  Goodwin had nothing.  
     

    btw Goody could have given a one vote to a Dees player but that would be pretending to be one of the Scott brothers!!!

    Chandler was GARBAGE as he has been for a while now!

    And yet Peter Ryan in The Age decided that Petracca was the fifth-best player on the ground and gave him 7 votes (with Reid, Waterman, Kelly and Barrass each getting 8 votes).

    • 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.
