Kane Cornes:

Goodwin just needs to shut it down. Put the players who need it into surgery to give them the best chance of recovery and the best chance of a long pre-season. Oliver needs the biggest and longest pre-season he's ever had. He's a shell of himself and clearly not fit enough to be playing at this level. Fix up Max Gawn, it's cruel that they're forcing him to play because they don't have any other options, and I don't know what's going on with Viney. But there are a number of players  who are clearly affected by injury.

They need to shut the season down and get the players fixed and come back for a big pre-season.

    It’s the same ribs as before, so it may not have taken much to re-injure them. 
    I suggest it’s season over for him. 

    May has been playing through adversity the entire season with those broken ribs. Had a chat to him a couple of times and he expressed that his body wasn’t feeling great. 
     

    He has been brave this season, but it’s time to let him heal and set his sights on 2025

    100%. If they try bring him back this season I will be [censored]!! Time to throw Petty back and see what Fullarton can do as a forward/ruck at AFL level.

    I wouldn't be against shutting down Gawn but selfishly he probably needs to play out the year and have a good game in there to secure a 7th AA.

    Garry Lyon apparently said Oliver, Viney and Lever all need surgery post season. Just send them in now! Seriously, we don’t have anything to gain playing these guys with 3 games remaining. Get them all 100% ready to go for day 1 of preseason

    Sad but true. Now that it’s highly unlikely we make finals , I think we’ll give in and prep for 25. 
     

    Going to be a hard watch the next couple- expecting a few spankings.

    i personally don't think it would be wise to send everyone off who needs surgery etc. off now, as we already look very short of leadership and senior bodies on the field

    based on what seems to be his style of leadership, i can't see gawn wanting to NOT play

    it's going to be interesting to see what path we go down for these last games

    But it also makes little sense to play injured players when the season is done. It allows them the appropriate recovery time and prep for the 2025 preseason.

    Gawn and Viney could use a break.

    It all depends on the depth we have in each position. There's no point playing May and Lever at half fitness when Tomlinson, Petty and Turner are options. 

    Viney at full fitness is irreplaceable, but at half fitness you may as well bring in Brown or (shudder) Laurie. 

    Gawn is a stubborn fool so I'm assuming he'll keep playing until his leg falls off.

    Get most of the guys shut down and play mostly kids. 

    And if we lose the remaining games the AFL charges us with tanking and bringing “the game” into disrepute? !

    Didn't Geelong do that exact thing last year and it set them up well for this year?  Bet they didn't get charged with tanking.

    It’s not tanking, it’s preparing for 2025. Giving the future kids a taste and experience of AFL footy. 
     

    Playing AMW, Kolt, Windsor and others this year wasn’t seen as tanking. 3 rounds to go does not put the club in danger of bringing the game into disrepute

    I was only joking, but you never know what those weirdos at AFL HQ could do.

    I made the same joke to spouse.  Response - wouldn't put anything past those bastards at AFL HQ.

    You crossed the line there - Max is no fool

    Why play May or Salem in 2-3 weeks?   Get them ready for preseason.

    If this is not done the club is not giving us the best chance of success in 25.

    Trac running again and at the gym, is a good sign. Should be up to decent loads by the time he hits pre season. 

    He’s the ultimate professional, so think it will be more mental for him

    • 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.
