Each year Maxy votes one of his team mates for rising star or coleman.

No, he wouldโ€™ve voted for himself as best haircut ๐Ÿ˜

 

Curious to know who put forward Mabior Chol for the Coleman.

I wanna know who did Auskick in St Albans!


I really want to believe that the 'AFL commissioner' line was a different captain using the anonymity to take the [censored] out of Patrick Dangerfield.

Personally I reckon Gawn would have to be the 'stay-at-home Dad'.

I think the 'favourite footy commentator' responses are telling - and I'm saying that from a pyschology of survey responses perspective. Pretty clear that the way people answered was not so much by identifying a favourite as by putting down the name of the first commentator they could think of who didn't irritate them.

Some of the answers are amusing. I know they're not meant to be but so often AFL players and ex-players areย  clueless with predictions. Sure they'd realise from experience how unusual it would be for a first-gamer to get 30 possessions or anyone to kick a 50m goal against a three-goal wind. But a lot of fans know this stuff anyway and many experts have insight that would not be gained merely just watching for 4 quarters.ย

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... itโ€™s time to discuss this weekโ€™s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliverโ€™s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line โ€ฆ 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 clubโ€™s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the clubโ€™s perspective, and the teamโ€™s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarksonโ€™s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed โ€” 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.ย  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.
