Easily the most influential player today, love him.

Some people are getting so excited by this win and individuals they like to see do well...

So far i've seen Byrnes as BOG, Frawley played rubbish, and Max gawn most influential. People still not giving Nathan Jones the credit he deserves

 

Maxy was very good wasnt he..I thought he was in real trouble after his last injury but I'm glad hes got on the park to play like he did.

Lets see how he goes against a luenberger or the likes before we get to excited but yes very promising game.

Until Jamar is match fit and over his leg injury leave big max in the ruck and rest Jamar elsewhere around the ground maybe when required..

Jamar is still the best ruck we have IMO. Just isnt 100% fit yet.

Thing is Jones always plays to a high level and we all appreciate it, others get the supporters a little excited cos its something new or good form coming back. Jones will have the Bluey wrapped up in 6 weeks time.

 

He's 110+ kgs and around 210cms, when you get up to that immense size (Sandilands and Bogut the only examples I can think of) injuries happen easily. I pray he stays fit because he could help us get back up that damn ladder.

Spider Burton!

I love that mark where he held off the two blokes on either side of him then marked the ball, turned around, ran into the goals and nailed it. Pure arrogance.

If he can stay fit he'll be an absolute gun

That was awesome, Moses parting the Red Sea. Those arms pushing out.

It's a very pleasing start to the season for Max.

Jamar is usually poor, yesterday not so much. Getting better. However The Russian palmed only 19% of his taps to advantage. Most of the other big men around the ground had around the 30% mark*.A good ruckman will get 40% +

Unless Jamar marks the ball more, increases his taps to advantage and has a presence around the forward line, his days are numbered. For a big man of his skill and experience, he just doesn't do enough. Spencer has less class than Jamar, but gives so much more effort. And now we are seeing what Max is capable of.

God I hope his knees hold up.

Edit. *From herald sun stats, so may not be correct.

Very encouraging - I don't quite share some of the exictement here and will wait until he grabs 3-4 big scalps before joining many of you. I figure he will get a lot of physical attention in the near future and will be interested to see the response.

 

mmmm enjoyed matress face and hoping it continues.it just proves how effective a big clumsy oaf can be when let loose. is this the START

  • 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.

  • 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 club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — 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.  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.
