I would have thought some team would be sniffing around Ollie Henry from Geelong. Can't get a game and yet would walk into half a dozen other sides

I'm licking my lips over this one too Picket. Imagine a forward line with two power forwards Jai Amiss and el Jeffo.

I think you will find if this comes to pass he will be on at least 800 a year for at least 4 years and to pay for this we will need to trade on Petracca to make salary cap space. If we take a little off our salary cap and end with a clean swap Petracca for Windhager I think this would be a good deal. Mind you this is all semantics until Geelong sign off on it. We all know they have first dibs on any talent looking for a new home. It's just a matter of working through issues such as what size farm they want.

Nice, RTG

I actually saw Dillon with his wife out at Vic Park for the game against Collingwood. I think he gave a nod and a wink to the umpires before they went on that free kick spree that nearly got the Pies over the line. Or that could be just a viscous rumour

I am a no go to Casey as well, but will go to any inner city venue, and like others enjoy the grass roots element of the AFLW. Ima happy to go to any of the following venues before Casey Fields Western Oval, Ikon Park, Arden St, Vic Park, The Lexus Centre, Coburg, Port Melbourne, South Melbourne, Junction Oval Why ida even be prepared to go to Box Hill City Oval, Moorrabbin, Geelong. Why even Frankston for [censored] sake. Any the [censored] where before takin' that goddam trek out to Casey!

8 All Australians. No other Ruckman has achieved this. In the history of the game. There have been 3 anomalies with the All Australian Captaincy. Hawkins in 2022, Jeremy Cameron in 2025 and Buddy in 2018. Of the six other players that have achieved 8 All Australians, there are 2 forwards in Ablett snr and Buddy, and 4 mid-fielders in Ricciuto, Harvey, Ablett jnr and Dangerfield. Max was Captain in 2021, but in 2022 he either should have retained the Captaincy or there was Lachie Neal or Patrick Cripps, but no Hawkins gets the gig. This year sure Dawson or Harris Andrews would have been noteworthy Captains but if you are looking left field then recognising Max for the body of work over the last 8 seasons, including the last 2 where his team has been poor, he would have also been a worthy Captain of the team. On top of that a Geelong player has Captained the side 6 of the last 13 editions of the All Australian side. In a time when they have only won the premiership once. Fair. I don't think so.

Don't agree. Max deserved it for being a mainstay in the AA team for 8 years. Speaks so well, and is a natural leader. Has led our team for a long time and won a premiership as Captain. Absolute joke to make Cameron Captain. Disgrace.

I thought the girls played without wings??? But maybe I'm on the wrong forum. Rather than Demonland maybe I should be on La La Land

First of all thanks for your efforts over the year, it is much appreciated and loved by many, myself included. Happy holidays for a while at least and I believe it's good luck on the punt to Binman although I'm sure your analytical mind would find lots of winners. I'd like the panel to discuss the Rising star award. Once again Langford put in a great game for us but remains an outsider to win the award. The main 3 everyone is talking about are Read from Freo, Curtain from Adelaide and Ashcroft from Brisbane. Who do you guys think WILL win the award, who do you guys think SHOULD win the award and long term, say in 3 years, barring injury, who do you think will be viewed as the best of the draft of 25 Thanks

I love all the NO memes, if that is what they are, but lets see, he is an upgrade on Billings, Fullarton, AJ, Campbell, and many others running around in the 2's. He is sure no more than a depth upgrade and wouldn't get a game in front of May, Lever and Turner, or probably even TMac, but if every other club is shaking their heads like all your memes then he might be money-ball. He averages 1 good game in 5 and is perennially injured so he would have to come cheap. That is where another club might offer slightly overs coz they need tall backs, maybe even Dogs, but if he's falling cheap then I think as I say he is an upgrade in depth.

Purcell was interviewed after the match and spoke so well. Balanced, intelligent and praising of others, along with Hore, Hanks and others I just love these leaders. Really liked the effort of no. 20 Mahoney, she was in everything down forward, her tackling a highlight and with a few more games under her belt she should be one to score a lot of goals. I encourage other Demons to get on board as I think they are a good team, well worth watching and hopefully we can give it a shake. Go Dees

I don't know or care much for boards and their machinations but I do think Green is doing a good job and next year I expect he will have all his men in place to take us forward. What I do concentrate on is the team and how it is going and while I have been perplexed by the variety of performances thrown up by this group in the last 18 plus months I am quite happy / not unhappy that we have let Goodwin go. The main reason being is that they (in my opinion) became comfortable. Complacent even. And that attitude if it is seen or perceived to be seen is a black mark against any coach. People talk of losing the players, well that is definitely not the case with Goody, in fact it was closer to the opposite. He became too close to his players and consequently couldn't give them a "bollocking". And while Goodwin was probably turning our fortunes around the "will to win", the desperation to get over the line, the intangible team ethos that gets wins from anywhere, was missing and is still missing as evidenced in the game against the Dogs just gone. This is where a new voice from a new coach can have some impact. And Goodwin must know that.

Best one-two punch in the league, so I think we need at least 3 talls in case one goes down or gets towelled up and one extra to intercept or come over the top to help spoil. English likes to go forward as well, that's 3 towering forwards. Scary

I love this highbrow stuff from Demonland. Well done BoBo, however your nickname is more that of a chimpanzee than that of a scholar. Please no offence intended
