Loved the commentary on Ch7, he is a wildebeest! 😄

Brian Taylor probably thinks a wildebeest is a wild beast...

    Maybe my language was harsh but if you watched Gawn live today you’d see a guy who managed his way around the ground, often content to man O’Brien away from the play rather than sprinting back to plug the backline or making sure he’s the long down the line target.

    Can argue it’s smart as a veteran ruck doing it alone but do you want a captain having to manage his work load? Even playing with Grundy has been about managing him through the season. 

    Viney is busting it for every minute he’s out there 

    I watched Gawn live today and I felt he needed to take more contested marks, but completely dominated at stoppage.

    We need Grundy to manage him though. And Max knew this mhimself, hence his push to get Brodie to the club in the first place.

    And Jack is bursting for every minute he's out there, but it wasn't a flawless game either. Brodie Smith kicked his goal, because Jack basically let him wander off unattended after Jack had worked brilliantly to get it over the boundary for a stoppage.

    You're totally off on Max here though.

    I did have a chuckle when Viney came off with the blood rule after a cut on his face and Gerard Healey commentated that the only surprising thing was that it was Viney's blood and not his opponent's!

    He’s been outstanding since Clarry went down. Bleeds red and blue, heart and soul player.

    Couldn’t agree more.  Goes at 100% all the time without hesitation. Also had some nice sidesteps to evade yesterday and kicked in his right foot under pressure.  Love him in the team.  Right in the heat of the kitchen.

    I love his leadship these day.  When he first shared the captaincy with Jones (and Gawn?) I don't think he was quite ready.  If Gawn were to retire tomorrow, I'd name Jack sole captain in a red and blue heartbeat.

    This one made me wonder how long and hard the MRO looked at it trying to invent a charge, only to realise all he did was stand up. 

    They do love inventing new rulings against us (MFCSS).

    To be honest it surprised me as well. Ie the fact that Dwayno got something right for once.

    Someone complained this week about Viney's contract extension (no names, but you could probably guess who), partially on the basis of Jack nursing a long-term shoulder injury. Correlation doesn't equal causation and all that, but I've noticed that when our vice cops an early stinger it seems to activate beast mode. Come at him at your own peril. Long live this thread.

    I can imagine some in the media may have got a polite STFU from opposition teams about making any further comments on Jack.

    You don't want to make him angry or give him a point to prove. The man is not human.

    • 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.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      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.
