Bugger, shattered for Gawn and Turner, rotten debut for Disco.

This will be the making of Dogga.

    Terrible luck for Turner, for what should be a joyous occasion making your debut taking such a turn. Very interested to see if Daw comes in or Weideman is chosen ahead of him. Either way, time to step up Dogga.

    Have lost contested marks 50-29 the last three weeks and now without the best around-the-ground contested mark in the AFL.   Shudder or curl up in a ball?

    No surgery. 3 to 5 weeks. Not too bad.

    3-5 doesn’t sound too bad 🤞

    Very disappointing  news re: Max. Hopefully it's more 4 weeks than 8.

    With regards to the short break, the AFL were always going to put us and Brisbane on the Thursday night (next week) as both clubs were coming off the bye.

    They couldn't put Dogs and Hawthorn on Thursday night as Bulldogs have already had a 5 day break. I'd imagine they also didn't want West Coast V Essendon as a stand alone fixture on a Thursday night given how terrible both sides are.

    And there was no way for televise purposes, that Melbourne V Brisbane was going to be anything other than a Thursday or Friday night.

    The AFL runs an 18 team competition. Unfortunately it doesn't exist just for Melbourne.

    The silver lining is Max's body needs a good rest. 

    Also a chance to get his back issues sorted.

    We really did have a great run with injuries in 2021.

    The combination of a drop off in form, loading, injuries to key players and a very hard remaining fixture  - starting to feel like it may not be our year.

    Time to see how what we're made of.

    Big job for Luke Jackson as he is now our number 1 ruckman. Could this be the making of him?

    Does this mean Sam Weideman becomes the 2nd ruck? Majak Daw hasn't exactly had consistency of games in the VFL.

    I was just taking a look - Majak has been dominant in the ruck when he has played but has missed a number of games... not up to speed with the VFL but assuming he's been injured?

    Daw and Weeds to come in to share the ruck with LJ (Gawn and M. Brown out). The timing of this injury (and TMac’s ) is better than it happening in round 19 or 20.

    Yeah look I'm not sure what's up with Majak. The Casey games I've seen this year he's been pretty dominant in the ruck but for some unknown reason he's barely played the last few weeks.

    The footy club let's itself down once again by not updating fans on what's actually up with him.

    For some perspective Sam Walsh had surgery on his and missed a month.

    My MFCSS has me thinking he'll miss a month then they discover it hadn't healed and need surgery after all and miss another min 4 weeks

    Good god I want to be sick.

    After waiting a few seconds I still want to be sick but we have to face reality. Luke Jackson the time is now and let's make sure he gets some support in someone who will compete like their life depends on it for the next month or so.

    Oh well. It was good being reigning premiers. A good pre season and I go the next and we will be every chance again

    Gawn has been very durable over the last few years.  While not ideal its an opportunity for others to step up within the team.

    The silver lining, it give Gawn a chance to get a good rest for the remainder of the season to lose all those niggling injuries.

    Poor guy was buggered. He had hardly no rotation for a whole quarter. He’s just a kid and he was playing against that [censored] Cox who, like Mumford, is a thug masquerading as a D grade footballer. 

    Cox has done this sort of BTP actions in other games  before, and the representative swill loved it. 

    In fact can anyone remember an instance where our captain has intentionally injured someone?

    We didn't have to have the bye this round, we could've had it in round 12. No other team has a 10 day break over the bye, only one other team (Port Adelaide) has an 11 day break. Average break over the bye for all clubs is 13.3 days. Terrible fixturing.

    I'm thinking  this one sounds like three games missed - Brisbane and Adelaide for sure and then Geelong the next round is another Thursday game.  The timin gof the fixture won't help.

    The sky is falling! The world is ending!

    Where is my blanket to throw over my head!!!

    But seriously, not good. With our run home and our form I think we will struggle to go 50/50 over the next 10 weeks.

    • 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.
