its amazing what winning games of footy does. Lose today and Gawn foot turns out to be  more of a 6-8 week injury. 

I heard he was dead halfway through the first…

    Bowey is really struggling at the moment. Rivers might be a better option.

    I didn’t see that tonight

    Bowey is struggling? He was perfectly fine tonight. Played his role.

    Not struggling, but he’s fumbling some tough ground balls and losing some winnable aerial contests. I think his speed and smarts still give him the edge, but down back there’s at least genuine pressure for spots.

    Bowey was fine tonite.

    No Max. You can play against Geelong down at Mordor. They can take care of Adelaide.

    No change.

    Agree, no change for next week.  As an aside I heard Neal Bullen say on ABC radio after the game that Viney’s speech to the players prior to the game and at half time was inspirational.

    Just like Gawney in last year’s GF told the coaches to keep Jacko on the ground in the centre bounces in the 3rd quarter  I wouldn’t put it past him to let Viney speak to the playing group come this GF when we are playing whoever if he thinks it will help the crew.

    If Gawn plays I will be disappointed. I love the guy but get him right. Don't take a risk with him.

    I wouldn't mind seeing Disco coming back he was good until he got knocked out but Rivers is the obvious choice if we drop bowzer.

    If Viney has the slightest niggle rest him until the finals.

    Bedford deserves a run of games. 2 very well taken goals, applied pressure and linked well with kossie a few times. 

    no changes for me

    He's a clean as Oliver at ground balls as a rule. He didn't nail them last night, but we were rarely caught out defensively after the first quarter, so he executed his role.

    yep, forward line had a nice balance last night, was good to see the small forwards dancing around the slow Brisbane backline.

    Um I dont think Bowey is in the side to win aerial contests. Often he stays out of them.

    I think his form of late has been ordinary, perhaps Rivers in.....

    Hopefully no change, but slightly worried about how Viney's corky might pull up during the week.

    I guess Dunstan in for him if it's needed.

    He will be fine.  We have another 9 day break to the next game.

    Wild horses and wild bulls couldn't keep him from playing.

    I would say no change, not sure what the weather will be like. Rivers I would like in but happy to let it ride.

    Even if Max wants to play I would give him another week off. No change

    Yeah, bring him back for the following one vs Geelong.  Because of the bye/fixturing it will be about 3.5 weeks since the injury.

    He said a highlight of 2021 was beating Geelong three times!!  Like their feline mascot, they would be hissing and spitting at that comment. 

    He won't want to miss a trip to the kittens' playground.  Inflict more hurt.

    • 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?

      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.
