Demon Dynasty

Yes i was speaking to bro early on at the game and we were talking about how well he's doing so far (spit ...spit... salt over shoulder etc). Especially ability to find space/evade & the quality on his left. I commented that if we can start to see a lowering of vision when he approaches 50 and hitting up the odd lead / target in the coming weeks / months look out! ... Nek minnit

I include score involvements in my ratings, which i assume will capture this scenario (somewhat) assuming it ends up as a score and where that act sees the ball go to the eventual scorer in the chain (ie., in this case...knock ons or a HB from AJ to Sharp/Kozzy etc). CD does not include this as part of their Player Rating metrics?

Yes, job well done to everyone getting so many to that level DZ eh. Long may it continue!

Team & Player Ratings to Rnd 11, 2025 vs H&A Season 2024 After our best performance in over two seasons, our Team Rating has jumped a little from last week (to 69.88) which continues to see us on track to play finals in 2025* and presently ahead of our Team Rating in Seasons 2021, 2022 & on par with 2023. No need to mention 2024. * Subject to the successful return of Viney along with reasonably minor impact from injuries for the remainder of the season (roughly no more than about two players presently inside our top 22). The rocketeers this season so far... Turner up 19 places from his season 2024 ranking Bowey up 10 places Kozzy up 9 places * Played less than two full matches < Subbed out at least once or more > Subbed in at least once or more Stats courtesy of footwire.com & wheeloratings.com

Our +19 for contested differential inside 50 was an all time team record for the club.

Round 11, 2025 MCG - Demons vs Swans Holy Swan feathers folks. Our best Team Rating in over two seasons. That being Round 7, 2023 vs the Roos with a 78.9 A great day for all loyal Demon minions i'm sure. The only down side, the overly loud doof duff in the breaks. No doubt showing my age but kill off that rubbish and bring back cash at the G and we got ourselves a fab day out. Interesting to see that Bowey's having such a good season he copped a bit of a defensive tag from JJ. Big compliment from the oppo coach & panel. Clarry's second best day out of the year behind his fabulous 6.4 vs the Kangas in Rnd 2. His companion in crime, CP5, having a decent day out also coming in 7th and managing to keep his return to 2024 form on track with a very decent hit out on his milestone. Kozzy continuing on with his best season so far in the red & blue. Maysie's form of late a bit of a worry. Dropped away a fair bit. Maybe worth managing this week with T-Mac available? Salem coming in at No.1 and deservedly so. Not too often you see a HBer / part-time mid top the ratings... 22 effectives @ 71% efficiency, 1 contested mark, 1 mark inside 50, 1 one percenter, 6 clearances, 1 rebound, 4 inside 50s, 4 tackles, 12 score involvements (only pipped by Kozzy with 13), 4 intercepts, 402 meters gained, 3 turnovers and a goal. On to the Aints at the red centre!

Smooth criminal

We should be sitting on 65+ right now. 40 ahead. We are still lacking one, just one, dangerous Key Tall up forward. Petty doing his bit but he ain't no KF. Turner doing very well down back but i'd still like to see him up forward at some stage to see how he goes in a swap with Petty. Maybe an opportunity next week against the aints? Gee i'm lovin this doof at the G. So makes me wanna keep coming back 🤮

The Fix is on! Then again it was never off i guess

Did Howe just call his own decision ie; OOTF or was i imagining things and an ump called it?

If this was umpired like any other AFL game (ie: a game not including the filth) then Norf would be a good chance to win this

So Parker get's tackled high but the Filth get the free for HTM!? 😆

Hopefully that's a five year career ending foot injury for the turdsta

I'm not sure how that's relevant to my post but anyways.

No but many plebs like myself give a rats about T-Mac 'Managed' it should've been as only a recent arrival from mars would've omitted him, not having witnessed his body of work this year, which has mostly been superb. It's the little things that make a club great.

The Filth... the SDN round guernsey you have when you don't really wanna have one?

Not as flat as i feel watching this Deevs

I made the mistake of returning to this after the half time break. Back to Skyrim i go

Agreed DZ. The most involved, committed and sharp i've seen Fritta in some time barring the odd small patch of quality here and there over the last few seasons. I'd like to see the FD leave him as sub from here, match ups and injuries allowing.

His best year was 2018 CP Kicking Efficiency.. 2018 75% 2019 67.5% 2020 52.3% 2021 64.2% 2022 62.1% 2023 56.1% 2024 60.3% 2025 52.8%

Yes Kozzy but if we start sending Kozzy to others you can kiss alot of the most important side of his game away. Not for mine ty. Isn't Spazz supposedly one of our quickest on certain trials? If so why aren't we blooding him into a regular go-to tagger when needed such as this match up? He doesn't bring enough on the attacking side already so surely if we are playing him his value lies in this type of role? We have Brown dog as a potential option also.

While i'm not suggesting he is being played in a dedicated forward role, there is enough evidence in Viney's last three matches (prior to concussion) to suggest that he is now playing significantly more time inside 50 already. At least vs his first 5 matches anyway.

Player & Team RatingForm Guide - Rnds 1 to 5 vs Rnds 6 to 10Our team Rating over the last 5 weeks indicates we are now performing roughly on par with our 2022 & 2023 rating and almost 3% up on 2021. It also does not include Lever who would more than likely improve the rating somewhat. This comparison includes players that have played two matches or more (in total) in both blocks of games in 2025. Tracc would appear to be back! In the last five rounds he is roughly 1% up vs his 2024 rating. A big turnaround from his first five rounds where he was approx 28% off 2024. An amazing lift from the skipper as well! < Subbed out > Subbed in In his last three matches, Viney improved 78% on his poor early season form. Jumping 11 places from 15th to 4th. More impressively, up 22% on his 2024 rating. A change of role and time played up forward? His average tackle count inside 50 has increased by 4 tackles per match in his last three matches. His average tackles also up by nearly 8 per game over this period. He was also averaging just under a goal per match in those three matches vs zero goals in the first five rounds.
