Max Gawn.

Our champion. Another magnificent season by Max. He is at the peak of his powers and talk of Grundy being better is like saying Polly was better than Big John or vice versa. Loved by the fans, coaches and playing group and the whole footy community. Hopefully the Club soon realises here is the bloke to lead us to glory. Nothing so far has been too much of a burden for Max, he has the intellect to cop the blows,  work on his body shape without prompting, readjust his goalkicking and forward positioning. A reason to watch the Dees in a dismay year.

Very good and complex question Red ………………….. I've been wondering what the future holds for him. He was a real weapon when fit and going but ………………….. he's been so cooked by injuries, I suspect he might be delisted.

What do you know re his injury/ contract status?

4-6 and 2 year contract left. Wonderful.

I guess we should have used the old hindsight and traded him.

We already knew his injury record well, good player, but little use in a track suit.

Stephen May.

Rarely beaten one-on-one, can play on talls and smalls, able to dominate an area, good disposal, can swing forward, leadership material, with a full off-season behind him May may be our ace in the hole in 2020.

played 6 games for the year at 27 years of age.

Big question mark with him for 2020

Jake Lever

well what can you say... I suppose he came back from his ACL but his AFL form was ordinary. Probably should have had one or two more runs at VFL level on his comeback.

Expecting  a lot more in 2020 if he is to justify his salary and trade price.

Jury well and truly out.

Agree.

Suppose we should have guessed he would be injured all year.

Not at all.

If May stays fit next year, no question mark at all.

It didn’t suprise me..

Might not have, but would you have predicted it?

If he stays fit we build our defence around him.

Petty. Just maybe we might have found a forward. It is a big guess though.

We already know a lot about foot problems. It wasn’t the first time he had gone down. 

Too late now. But we cannot tie up a list position with players who don’t play a game   

KK is another one. Too much hope and not enough calculated research

Here's another one I'd like to know the latest on!

Anyone have up to date info?


Bayley Fritsch:

Looked comfortable and at home as a defender. But was then inexplicably thrown forward late in the year and looked like a fish out of water.

I wonder if his ability to play tall and small means he has longevity built into those legs and we can expect 5-7 more years.

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
