    That's all the tweets they've uploaded so far.

    Did mention towards the end that they don't expect to see Ben Brown play some sort of footy until about round 7.

    James Jordon also most likely to debut this weekend.

    DD36 thanks for all this, don’t get to listen to G and T,  

    does Max get help from , the coach or other ex captains,  or instructors who guide him through the early years of captaincy. 
    Not many AFL players are rocket scientists indeed some are barely articulate. They can play great footy perhaps but that does not automatically lead to the responsibility of leading a group of  players. 
    I know personally I can barely lead a horse to water.

    Hope the club provides some sort of structure for him.

    Come on Demons only a couple more sleeps

    and happy equinox. Couple of days yet

    Well that would ensure there will be an injury in Q4 or earlier if the coach wants to pull an underperforming player.   Doesn't Goodwin have enough to think about now without having to have another decision option.

    Very uninspiring TBH!! Hopefully his pre-game speeches have a better effect on the players?

    Who have been our rucking captains? Big Carl? Don Cordner. One of those two, probably Carl in this instance, could surely demonstrate some of the finer points of intimidation to Big Maxy?

    At least if Goody is on radio we don't have to watch his left hand scratching his left leg.

    This is just your MFCSS talking - I expect him to provide a target and allow out excellent midfield a more reliable option than they have had. If you want to make it easier on yourself by having subterranean expectations go for it - but reality does not promise such a pathetic return.

    Reality is you have no way of knowing and you can't resist making the most negative comments whenever you get half a chance.

    Reckon we will get more out of Ben Brown in 5 games than T-Mac in 18

    Correction... YOUR reality says his knee is a mess.  The removal of debris would suggest that the cause of his knee swelling has most likely been addressed.

    Can see the leg scratching even in a radio interview. Hope the players are more invested in him than I am.

     In the meantime next tv interview we should play the leg scratch drinking game

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
