Would love a source for this because we are mid pack for Centre clearances and clearances in general

Over the past 6 weeks.  Source is in the 360 analysis linked earlier.  King and Montagna.

Not sure if this has been posted elsewhere, but it gives an important perspective on Gawn's influence and what we are about to miss. I'd advise to pick up about 2 minutes in when King and Montagna discuss his influence over the past 6 weeks.  We are ranked numer 1 for clearance and number 4 for post clearance, as well as number 1 for clearance scoring differential and number 1 for scores from centre bounce.  Basically Gawn and Oliver have been keeping us in games almost alone.

 

Yes Gawn is a huge gap as we know. He’s a superstar.
 

Love the last 60 seconds on the master blasters. Trac and Clarry are accountable for poor delivery and not kicking to a target or to advantage or indeed giving it off to others inside 50 and running!!

You get Facepalms from @Rhino Richards as well Colin? I thought i was the only one :)

 

Not in this thread yet.

I noticed he’d done it to 2 or 3 other posters advocating Majak be given a game without explaining why he felt that suggestion was out of bounds (or if he had, I must have missed it).

 

No mention of Daw??

I don't get this either, something isn't right.

Smith

That is more than 2 isn’t it?

I didn't include Daw because he's been missing every second Casey game.

He missed last time, so next time, he's an "in".

 

We have 16 players over 190cm, 6 of which are injured atm  - Perfect time to be playing the Brisbane Behemoths 

TMac not coming back this year. He'd have to make his return during finals.. we'd have to be desperate for that to happen.

Also great to see 1 week already subtracted from Gawn's return and that most of the players have passed the daunting 4-6 timeframe.

I think we come out and beat the lions without our captain and  all of a sudden we will look invincible again.. 

Wise words, R&br!!

Max said last night he thought he was ready to go next week against Crows.

Clearly not, but injury may not be as bad as first thought.

Max probably argued to the club he was ready to go against the lions!

Fairly confident we can handle the crows without him but its gets more difficult after that.

If Max was fair dinkum last night, then he might be back sooner than the 4-5 games first indicated.


With Majak Daw’s retirement announced today, I’ve left him off the club’s injury list.

Max Gawn - Ankle | 1-2 Weeks
Daniel Turner - Face | 2-3 Weeks
Blake Howes - Foot | 2-4 Weeks
Joel Smith - Ankle | 2-4 Weeks

Gawny's recovered well.

Tmac hasn't budged.

  • 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.
