The Goschs paddock surface has to come under scrutiny. 

Why?

Because he may have done a calf injury at the G during a game? Because Lever did a knee during a game? Or is it because Viney is like a bull at a gate and struggles to pull back his load when injured?

The club did an assessment of Gosches and training loads not so long ago, probably to appease MFCSS supporters

    I have heard from my very reliable source close to Max that he pulled up with a very sore calf after Sunday.

    i was told this earlier in the week but was hopeful with the game not until Sunday that it wasn’t as bad as it sounded.

    Yeah there was footage of his right calf getting some attention on the bench on Sunday. He's tough. He's fit. If it was really crook he wouldn't be jogging.

    A whopping 7 dream team points for Casey. I’m very reassured.

    Gawn arrived late to the session at Gosch's Paddock on Thursday morning with Sam Weideman and Mitch King handling the ruck drills in his absence.

    It is believed Gawn may be suffering from a calf issue.

    Jake Melksham did running drills away from the main group as he tries to prove his fitness following a hamstring strain.

    Melksham missed the Demons' 96-point win over Gold Coast with the minor injury.

    Michael Hibberd is still at least one week away from returning from a quad strain but was back running on Thursday.

    Coach Simon Goodwin is scheduled to speak to the media at 12.40pm AEST.

    Swans with Sinclair, Eagles with Lycett and GWS with Lobbe......yawn.   Give him a rest for a week or two and get on with it.

    Pederson in if injured. I wouldn't play him if he is slightly injured at this stage. I hope he is alright but if not then lets see what the rest of the troops can pull together on Sunday. We can still win.

    So the AFL website repeats the HS news was and then the club says he's fine.  We'll see on Sunday.

     

    Won't degrudge Max having a light week after having to carry to ruck single handed. Although TMac was giving more of a Chop out against GC.

    Goodwin doesn't talk BS when it comes to the list and their health.

    He's playing on Sunday. Nothing to see here.

    .... Gawn walking laps is still more training than Buddy has managed this year apparently!

    Read Jane02's comment on page 1 her source is impeccable, Max injured his calf last Sunday. Someone also posted,  Jan Phelan at AFL  tweeted mentioning a sore calf so her source is pretty good too. Cannot say more

    Yup.   Every time Goody has said that, the player has played and been fine.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
