This. It’s not a stretch to say that Gawn missing half or a whole season is going to ruin our chances of winning the flag. Not only is he a superstar he’s the heart and soul of this team. Everyone looked absolutely done when he went off. If it was a simple knee knock they’d get on with it. Deep down I reckon everyone knows it’s probably the worst possible result. 

It's true, but remember how Collingwood responded to Howe's gruesome injury last week.

Moore mentioned it post-game. It's hard, brutal even, but part of the job is to put that stuff behind you and get back to work. Collingwood did it last week after seeing their good mate snap his arm the wrong way and look like he was passing out from the pain. We now have to do it in the face of Gawn's injury.

    Chin up Jaded, it is hard but until we know for sure try not to go there. 

    Even so, the sun will rise tomorrow.

    Reading some of the foam in here is literally making me sick. You've got people all week basically guaranteeing we'll win all tough and everything. Now a lot of those same people are jumping off and saying season over. More bile than Sydney Harbour, you have literally become the arrogance of the other sides like Geelong and Hawthorn that you let us know how much you hate on a weekly basis.

    Pull your heads out of your collective rear ends and get behind this team for [censored]'s sake. I know it's a terrible situation, yes I'm really annoyed how we are playing but reach deep down inside and find that belief you had earlier. They need us.

    Thankyou Lazie. To expect to dominate every game is ridiculous and undermines the challenge our players and team face week in and week out. Agree about the sudden turning on our team and arrogance of entitlement many commenters are displaying. I am disappointed too as I want my team to do well, but I will support them and wish others did the same rather than dump on them with such venom.

    That's what happens when you play from behind

    And when the opposition are experts in ducking and dropping the knees. 


    We're going to run over the top of them in the second half.

    We have the second best ruckman in the league to cover for us until Max gets back on the park.

    We got this

    It’s a strain and he will be back. Just doesn’t look an ACL. I should know I am a Lawyer and I am watching on TV.

    Seriously fingers crossed it’s just a few weeks.

    We are really missing Kossie.

    Ball handling is as bad as I’ve seen. Get that right and we are in it.

    Given the smashing in clearances we’re doing alright scoreboard wise.

    Start winning the clearances and find a way to lock it in our F50 and we win.

    We will know one way or another if we have this kind of belief.

    I thought I could smell something familiar about this game.

    I was indeed one of the 3,772 people who had the pleasure of watching of overrun Brisbane nine goals to three in the second half back in 2021. At Homesbush of all places.

    Honestly, except for about ten minutes late in the first quarter where we were clearly rattled by the loss of Gawn, and Grundy in particular had visible fog coming out his ears, we've been able to keep it even despite a number of our better players being awkardly off their game.

    Dogs kicked 6 goals in the second quarter in Round 1 last year.

    Dogs kicked 7 goals in the second quarter of the Grand Final.

    Geelong kicked 8 goals in the second quarter of Round 23 2021.

    We won all of those games.

    outstanding player and leader, no question, but if we're that reliant on one man we're not as strong a team as i thought

    I never really read the game day thread once the ball is bounced and now I know why. 

    Poor Maxy. The boys must have sensed something because they've been playing as if they're shellshocked. I know we're not out of this game based on the scoreboard but it still has the potential to get very ugly if we don't improve quickly.

    I hope Grant Thomas chokes on the multiple donuts he’s clearly been eating recently. Gawn’s [censored] has seen more success than you ever will

    Playing that [censored] song after Cameron kicks a goal is embarrassing.

    Brisbane will never be relevant in the AFL.

     

     

    Just wait...we'll come back

    • 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.
