Chandler top 10, proving once again that Demonlanders don’t know what roles players are asked to play. Half of this site is constantly calling for him to be dropped. I crown thee “the next ANB”.

    Well, I'm sufficiently uplifted by all of that!

    Not really, format dishes out a lot of votes they have to go somewhere 

    Played every game, in the guts, finished off season without a lot of help at times. GC game was immense

    Max was great, but missed a couple of games, and was doubled teamed a few times

    Don't think I would have had him in the top 3 to be perfectly honest. That game against GC was his best in quite a while. 10 games where he didn't top over 20 possessions.

    Max much more prolific and Trent Rivers not even getting in the top 5 is pretty weird.

    Why do so many call him 'Bullen'?

    I’ve always called him ‘Business’ coz you need an ABN for a business and it’s close.

    not clever but still

    I apologise if I’ve touched a nerve. It is your choice to support mediocrity.

    I will continue to demand higher standards.

    There were a number of 'incidents' that had a marked impact on our performance this year viz losing Gus, JS29 stuffing up, no, or limited preseason for Clarrie and Melky, losing Trac, and yes, some ordinary recruiting.

    In an even competition there'd be 17 years between flags.

    Methinks that you might be better off following a comp where there were, say, only 10 teams. 

    My local team (one of 10 in the league) has won the last two flags and has lost only 5 games in the last three years. They're easy to follow. No need for me to demand higher standards.

    I thought it would be either Max Gawn or Jack Viney.

    Very close!

    Jack Viney now has 2 Melbourne Best & Fairests, the same as his Dad, Todd! Well done!

    Go Demons in 2025! ❤️💙👹

     

     

     

    Nibbler getting 3rd should hopefully bump up his trade value to the Crows. 😉

    When Max got announced 2nd I thought Rivers was the only option. But then again we're just morons from the entitled Xbox generation 

    Morons is a bit harsh. Id just say Lazy ldiots.

    Are you guys for real? Harold Ball was an Australian Army medic, 33-game premiership ruckman, executed on a beach in the Pacific by Japanese soldiers during World War II.

     

     

    I didn't know that, thanks. Do you know if it was related to the Bullwinkle and co events/tragedy?

    There really were some games towards the end of the season when we weren't doing that well but Jack stood out. Heart and soul kind of stuff. 
    Congrats Jack on your second Bluey. Well deserved.

    He’s not a good public speaker. Never has been. 

    Also if you’re not drunk after the last 3 weeks, you’re doing it wrong 

    Spot on …he is not the best public speaker …it’s a lot easier sitting behind a keyboard and typing away. He’s genuine ..he loves the club & the players & that was certainly reciprocated. So for at least for tonight put away your cynicism and vitriol and take on board the positivity and hope from every person who spoke.

    I’m surprised by this result if I’m being honest. But what do I know? I’ve been drunk since round 24 trying to cope with being a Melbourne supporter 

    We went down to the MCG for the loss against GWS in Rd 20. We haven't sobered up or thawed out since!!

    My god I love Jack Viney

    His sheer will and mentality coupled with Maxys leadership have kept the ship afloat until now 

    I honestly don’t think he was that good this year. He has been better a few other years but if anyone deserves it he does

    In times of Instagram italian food and crazy partying this is the man who backs up what he says.

    We love you Jack

    Unfortunately I think it's locked in that we get their second round pick (currently 25).

    We won't get their first pick (4).

    We may get steak knives (they currently have picks 42 and 60).

    I reckon we'll be asking for more than 25, but might be hard to get it. Suspect we'd be wanting a pick 17-20 to reflect value.

    Exactly. What I was reminded of tonight is that we have a fantastic core of players (past and present) that deserve our continued appreciation and support, for they are the 'team we love'. As supporters, let's do everything we can to ensure the off field component is as engaged and focussed as them.

    Pick 25# and pick 42# would be acceptable.

    Could then package them up in a deal to Brisbane or Gold Coast for first round picks.

    • 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?

      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.
