Off topic question. Is Kossy still eligible to win the Brownlow this year? (Ie rubbed out last year but suspension carried over to this coming season).My initial thought is yes, but not sure.

Good question.... no idea!

I'm going to assume yes.

    At Tracc’s first session back he was nervous and it showed. But that was then, now he’s yelling out encouragement and motivating everyone and not keeping a low profile. In particular, he’s very encouraging to Harvey. Tracc’s on the boundary watching Harvey and regularly calling out “that was great, Harvey!” The look of pride on Harvey’s face is priceless.

    Also, Tracc isn’t holding back one iota. He tackles hard and gets tackled just as hard. Honestly, you wouldn’t know at all what happened to him merely six months ago.

    Clarrie’s hand update: “it’s [censored] great!” He says it’s 100% back to pre-injury.

    I really like your posts.

    Yes he is, provided of course he doesn't get reported and rubbed out for an offence in 2025.

    The suspension he copped in 2024 has no bearing on next year's Brownlow, even though he will serve his three week sentence at the beginning of the 2025 season.

    Gary Ablett Snr was also hunched. He went alright.

    Quasimodo was hunched but he was the best bell ringer season after season!🤪

    The only season he missed out was when he was suspended for kidnapping .

    Also made the team of the 16th century

    The last hunched type forward I remember was peter hudson.   With his broad hunched shoulders, bum pushed back, not many defenders could stop him marking.  Hope he is somewhere near as good.

    So at this stage we’ll be happy if Jeffo is some Hudson, Ablett, Kennedy hybrid? 😀

    No pressure.

    I must say, Disco, that offering 'no pressure' as you have done is extremely gracious of you. The selected blend of skills and attributes is most appealing, as well. Let us all, forthwith, join you in the hope that Jeffo rises to the occasion, develops traits that emulate your fancies and proves to be Heaven-sent to meet such a challenge. No pressure!

    I was just glad that people were concentrating on positive role models rather than simply asking him to stand up straight. 
    I think he can be a very handy player. 
    Anything beyond that is a bonus.

    As someone who looks after my body I’d love for him to work on his neck. There’s pain coming to that area at some point

    I'm pretty sure he takes them from Getty Images.

    Oh, I hadn’t realised that as there are no watermarks and I’m sure he has claimed them as his in the past. Interesting.

    And with his penchant for holding on to the bell rope, was in fact the first recorded swinger.

    As long as there are not too many clangers.

    I’ve spoken with the guy and he posts the photos from the MFC website. He never claimed to have taken them himself. 

    Yes, I think the confusion came from the fact that he doesn’t credit the photographs or make mention of where they come from. I should have made the comparison with what is in the MFC app, but hadn’t done so. Guilty as charged!

    You can only be ruled ineligible if you commit the offense in a home and away match from that season.
    Basically, only matches that count toward that Brownlow.
    You can be suspended in Finals and preseason matches and still be eligible for the Brownlow.

    • 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.
