No Gawn singing of our theme song??

James Harmes had been filming the end of the game; he seemed to get the team pretty excited on the way back in to the rooms.  They appeared to start on the back of his filming to maintain momentum.  Not a great look.  The skipper did not look particulary thrilled with it at first glance

    It looked to just be a mistake. Players all got into the rooms, bit unsure what to do given no one is allowed to put their arms around each other anymore, even though they all tackle each other during the game....

    Storm in a tea cup type stuff.

    It was a strange end as it seemed the players were almost not even going to sing the song given how poor their second half was.

    Where was the team manager.?

    Posters might well be right that it mean nothing but this club has a habit of lot of little issues.

    Organisation...  not players role necessarily,  but surely some staff inside the rooms should be noticing this,  as the players arrive back in.

    Nothing in it. Normally I’d make a big deal about something like this, but honestly, the room situations are all weird, no arms around each other, it was all a bit weird and players didn’t really know what to do. I’ll excuse it this time

    There were no officials in the rooms. Part of the problem

    Relax, they were following Covid guidelines of keeping two arms lengths apart. On that basis Gawn couldn't fit in the room.

    That's very big of you to excuse it, can hear the sigh of relief from the players as I type

    This is just a another Gawn size mountain out of molehill on this forum

    Who gives a flying about what Garr Lyon will say, has to fill air time with some dribble

    No way to really dress this up.

    Its a very poor effort from the players to not wait for their captain.

    Gawn is hard to miss. He’s only 6ft, 9 inches !!!

    Seriously it was poor.  It was a sign of blokes NOT thinking and reflects the onfield decision making.  Gawns first win as captain and he misses the song !! What was vice captain Viney thinking ??? Simply was not thinking. 
     

    Did anyone think ... where’s Langdon and Tomlinson?  It was a shambles 


    Where was Goody ?  Doesn’t he sing the song now with the players.

    Lyon has Almost played as many finals as every player collectively in our team & ex captain.. I think he knows what good culture is ..

    Yep, much as I dislike these petty criticisms, I have to admit that I thought the celebrations were OTT for a performance that was underwhelming. It was all a bit of a rabble, which reflected on the pitch for half the game.

    We won't win another game for the year, so they were getting as much mileage out of that win as possible.

    It isn't the end of the world that some people are making it to be. It is however a perfect reflection of our club as a whole. Just a bit of a hot mess. 

    How you forget to look for the captain during the team song, the captain who is 8 foot tall with a bushy beard, is really very much in the same mysterious vein of how we can give up a 45 point lead.

    • 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?

    • 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.
