Immediately after the game Gawn was on Twitter. The club's leadership and cultural issues persist.

    Positives:

    No turnovers.

    Backline kept the opposition scoreless.  May and Lever anchored us well.

    Hussle around the packs and pressure from the mids and forwards didn't allow them to touch the ball at all.

    Bombers are absolute knobs.

    Negatives:

    Conor McKenna.

    We didn't score.

    We struggled again with that mid forward connection and couldn't get the ball inside 50 once.

    Tom McDonald to cop it again this week after not clunking a single mark.

    Thoughts?

    One correction, Conor McKenna was one of the positives.

    Good to see Bennell got through another week and Vanders didn’t break his foot for a change.

    I thought some of the outer fringe shows at the Comedy Festival were appallingly unfunny, this topic takes the top spot

    Perhaps this is an attempted joke. Who knows.

    But saty your relentless bagging of fellow posters, individually and collectively is becoming exhausting. 

    The great irony is that you bag posters for their supposed negativity. Ironic because it reflects a seeming complete lack of self awareness given how negative you so often are of late.

    I know I can put you on ignore (I have done so previously). But i'd rather not. I don't put many people on ignore.

     You are a long term poster that has contributed a lot of good content and positive energy. Your training reports are a good example of that.

    It would be great, in these somewhat dispiriting times for some more of that positive energy.

    The players weren't switched on at all. It's as if they were somewhere else.

    Has been let to get away with it for far too long.

    Moderators need to have a serious private discussion with him on whether he just needs to think about just slowly stepping away from the forum for good. 

    It's becoming very tiresome when every thread is hijacked by his constant negative criticism on posters who are trying to have a fair old footy discussion.

    Someone's starts a thread taking the [censored] out of the current situation and he comes in to give it a wack.

    I've spoken to old demonland posters on bigfooty who are no longer member purely on the fact they got sick and tired of the constant negative criticism from him.

    Let's not lose any more good people thanks @Demonland

    AFL going to screw us for something that’s not our fault. Will need to play an extra match later, whether it’s 3 in a fortnight or dedicated round when the other teams get a rest.

    Honestly do we care in this year that could still crash around our ears? I am caring less every week.

    A season of practice matches,  going nowhere but development.  Lets do It.   And continue Dee-veloping our youngs.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      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.
