For perspective, I just checked the Demonland Player of the Year voting to see how Judd McVee went in 2025 with Demonlanders who were the ones who cast the votes. He polled three votes, a mere 295 behind the winner and wasn't in our top 20 votegetters. Appreciate that he did much better last year but you're only as good as your last game.

I’ll bite - very difficult to cast votes when the team had such a comprehensive victory but here goes … 6. Megan Fitzsimon 5. Ryleigh Wotherspoon 4. Tyla Hanks 3. Tayla Harris 2. Kate Hore 1. Maeve Chaplin

I was just thinking that early on Saturday evening, one of the teams that we disposed of with great ease during the 2021 AFL finals series will have won two premierships in the interim four years since then. Such a shame that we couldn't make it a dynasty.

Is St Kilda is the frontrunner for Flanders because they offered him the most money or am I missing something?

Never really got much of a go.

But I have a feeling that it might get better next year 😊

Or flop badly because some players feel dudded and not as highly rewarded as others.

I was pretty nervous at 3/4 time when we were only 49 points In front of St Kilda but very glad that we managed to hang on to win by 74.

How did Sinnema and Prasad go?

It was more than a year ago but the Doggies have a big incentive to win while we're washed up. Pride alone won't do it.
