Not his best game for us today. Played within himself, lacked a bit of confidence. We need his swagger if we're to beat the saints next week

Many opportunities for trac today, 2 fumbled marks in the first quarter however still a solid game from him. Would love to see him in beast mode next week

    I actually thought he was a bit selfish at times when there was another handball in the chain before an entry inside 50.

    Yeah I saw him play he was amazing.

    Do you think hes going to be the best Demon forever?  Nostalgia is a powerful thing I guess

    History may actually say Gawn is the most decorated and potentially best Melbourne player ever. 4 x AA, best & fairest winner, AFLCA best player 2018 so far.
     

    He’ll probably add another AA jumper this year, too.

    I'm not sure that Flower is the best Demon ever - although clearly the best I've seen by quite some way and I've been watching since the mid-60s. I didn't see Barrasi play for Melbourne. It's quite possible that Barrasi was better than Flower.  (And then, of course, there are the even earlier players such as Norm Smith and Ivor Warne-Smith who might have been better, too.)

    • 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.
