There's a buzz at work that Max is not playing - anyone heard anything? Trying to get to source, but an Essendon-connected colleague is sure about it - possibly covid related

Max just posted an insta story of himself at a cafe about 20 minutes ago.

I think you've fallen victim for an April fools joke..!

    Gulp! How do we know it's not Max posting the April Fools Day joke pretending to be at a cafe 20 minutes ago...?

    I wanna see Bomber supporters going into nuclear meltdown mode at the ground and listen to them sook on SEN driving home after going 0-3 tonight and how they "shouldn't have got rid of Sheedy and that's the reason why we are in this mess."

    The only match of the year where I go into feral mode and want to inflict pain and misery onto a club...and sit back with a smile in my face while it all happens.

    Only concern for mine is being on the receiving end of umpiring like last night. HQ won't want one of their favourites being 0-3. 

    Crush them boys.

    I'd think the last thing the AFL want is another lopsided free kick count which will be counter intuitive to their broader push to respect the umpires. They'd be hoping for the commentary to be around the quality of the football rather than the umpiring and that last night's game is forgotten by Sunday.

    I cannot write down the hatred and Loathing i feel to Essendrug. 
    They should still be doing a 10 year Ban from the Competition in my opinion 

    Smash them Demons. Hurt them, just don’t get reported

    I'm surprised by the hate strongly negative attitude towards Essendon in this thread. There may be all sorts of reasons for it, but I wonder whether it all boils down to latent hostility following on from the result of the 2000 GF?

    As I've said before, I don't dislike any team but subscribe to the view that I support Melbourne and any team playing Collingwood. I've always believed that other teams are our friends in battle with the true enemy (for want of another word) being the other winter codes.

    Did you ever go to Windy Hill in the 70’s or 80’s??

    hatred goes a long way further back than 2000, I assure you

    I hate Essendon above all other teams because of their arrogance, their brutality in the 2000 GF, going to Windy Hill, their arrogance and their absolute refusal to accept responsibility or come clean about what they gave the players when they drug cheated. I also find them particularly arrogant. 
    Back in 2012-15 I used to make a deal with a god that I don’t believe in, that I could live with just one win for the year as long as that was against the Bombers

    Never went to Windy Hill. Clearly it was a place that has scarred people for life.

    Just to be clear, I'm not critical of others and their choice of teams they hate. I just don't have the same feelings.

    60s and Cross Keys and St Bernard's.

    If you never stepped inside Windy Hill, then you have no understanding of what it was like, and i am not having a go at you. Just telling the truth

    Yep, the terror and cant of Windy Hill is a historical fact. Getting out of the ground at the end of the match, and getting home safely with children and wives - risky business.

    KOzzies bound to have a huge game goalwise sooner or later and if not him then Fritta.

    Hopefully both,

    Im so glad May and Bowie are not injured.

    Bowey is playing inspired footy and hopefully Rivers will be closer to his old self.

    Apparently Ben Brown is out with COVID. Weideman to come in. If correct, great opportunity for Weid!

    • 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 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.
