I just noticed Zorko was selected 🤢🤢🤢 wtf!?

Averaged 26 possesions and 20 effective each week off half back and was a huge part of their revival. Very good season. 

 

zorko was phenomenal this year

the one strange one to me was picking naicos out on a wing

he definitely deserves to be in the team, but d'ambrosio was clearly one of the best wingmen in the competition in 2024 and a huge part of dingley's rise from nothing into being a premiership contender

they never rarely genuine wingers , just another spot for a midfielder. See Ed Langdon 2021

Caleb Windsor with 1 vote in the rising star is a joke. Lawson Humphries, who I've never even heard of (played 9 games for the cats) got more votes

I thought it was pretty much spot on. Windsor with only one vote was disappointing but fair with the other players in front of him.

Lawson Humphries was fantastic in nearly every single game he played. The Cats recruitment team have done it again. My envy is overloading.

The Dorko selection baffles me?? 

Not when supplemented with a Sir Les Patterson. He can wear his AA Blazer to fancy dress party's, soirees, masquerades and mad mondays with aplomb.

tbf Lawson Humphries was given 2 Votes by Eddie Betts. 

So 1 person voted for him much like 1 person voted for Caleb Windsor, Logan Morris (Brisbane) Matt Roberts (Sydney Swans).

Just passing the 'fashion is transient and style lingers' microscope over some in the AA team photo. Blazers buttoned up correctly almost universal, except front row second from the left, whose identity fortunately eludes me. Must of been too hot under the photographer's lamp, poor lamb. Shame the state of dishevelment is further multiplied by the open collar. Wardrobe must have run out of ties after Zorko.

Although the Sydney crowd almost get away with it. Must be the all seasons lawn bowls fraternity look. Jesse's attempt at a Windsor belies his neat goal kicking skills. Zorko's is slightly askew and the length suggests a Freudian slip off the prêt-à-porter cliff. Plus the tan Blundstones are simply out of place. Pleasingly Max , Jezza and suprisingly Daicos, show how to maintain dress standards. Although Cripps needs to consult a mirror occasionally and the Bont's socks have some insidious advertising visible. Is it his brand?

Overall fortunately most are worthy recipients of the blazer because of their football prowess.

But he came 3rd in the players votes;  By his peers.

Well done Caleb

  • 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.

  • 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.
