To me it was a non-event.
If anything a sign of Gawns desperation when the game looked like getting away.
Bumped his own head putting GF sized dollop of mayo on it.
Not his best moment famously pointed out to him by Trac.

No way Maxy put mayo on it. Daniels is deceptively strong apparently

Reckon Daniels could be the answer to the doggies ruck problems. Nic Nat better watch out nest season!

    Don't care who we play, we fear no-one, but would much prefer an afternoon game so i can bring my boy (he'll soon be 7). He watched the prelim and granny with me which was the first time he showed any interest in the Dees. I would love if his first game he see  live was the unfurling of the flag. Can;t think of a better way to cement his loyalty and connection to the team

    Speaking of this ...any further info from Club land / Kate re the post GF family day!??  Surely if we can put 10,000 VRC/Corporate Sponsor elites into a betting ring swilling chardys and scoffing down oysters we can get a few ppl at the G outdoors for a gathering sculling down Furphys while we fly our vintage pre premiership flags about!?? (ty Aussie Post!)

    And ...if we have to please Dan and his betting state to get this one away, maybe we can set up our own betting action for the day with 10% going in to the state's coffers!

    You know important things like "who comes on stage first, which player was the first to barf in the cup post match, how long after the match was it before Uncle unlocked the maid's hand cuffs!?" etc etc

    I see it's just been announced that our girls will open their season against the Dogs as well. An early opportunity to strut our premiership attire on their turf.

    I don’t like this proposal. It’s additional (and unnecessary) pressure on the team. And for little benefit.

    Just noticed that as well. I'm looking forward to heading over to Footscray for the season opener and enjoying a few beers on Barkly Street afterwards

    Absolutely BDA. Bar Josephine likely to get a look in and maybe the Victoria Hotel near the ground.

    How people can be so excited about watching the replay on the MCG screen and yet being a bit blah about finding we open the whole season with a GF replay which would be the talk of the town for 2 weeks beforehand, is puzzling.

    I think it it fantastic! please get it going. We will be flying the flag! 

    Think how many we will get to training all February and March. Killer Diller!

    So we miss out on seeing our team win the granny for the first time in 57 years then they want us to unfurl the flag on a Wednesday night. Are they [censored] serious?

    Richmond have been slow starters each year after their premierships, the only thing that’s ensured them getting the W in round one is that they keep playing the Blues. 

    I think facing the dogs definitely has the advantage of coming up against a team that’s had the exact same preparation time. 

    Maybe a good point re the 5 week reduction in preparation time - in which case it would seem equitable for both the GF and the losing OF teams to play each other in R1.  
    It would take the shorter preseason out of the excuse box.

    Whatever. Just announce something.

    Also, since when do we have Wednesday night games? Weird. They want to have 4 of the 9 games standalone night games in the first round? 

    Whatever.

  • Quote

    Just give us the Friday night game and stop trying to re-invent the wheel.

    We deserve nothing less tbh.

    We opened the season in 2000 against Richmond on a Wednesday night.

    That was a period when the AFL went a bit off the rails and experimented with mid week games.

    What a waste of a blockbuster.

    Midweek night game

    Crowd 60k is my guess

    Probably the worst night of all four available evenings.

    Hopefully we make it big with the corporate dollars for the night

    • 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.
