Now I'm more worried about Max's calf. On one hand I didn't want him to miss today,  but gee if he does anymore damage to it it could be costly 

his calf is fine....

    This is the problem with having no real options beyond him. 
    He never should have travelled to Perth last week and these are the games where if we had a decent backup he could sit out to avoid doing any serious damage. 
    Calves can be problematic, especially at his age. If he does more damage to it today and has to miss a chunk of games, you could probably kiss our season goodbye.

    Maybe in horse racing with multiple starters but there’s no way this is a correct stat for head-to-head competitions.

    Anyway, I'm out before the inevitable gameday thread wrist-slashing and self-flaggelation begins ...

    Real disappointed for Taj who has shown plenty and still is not getting a full game, while Hunter has had a less than great pre season and season thus far, and is straight in off very limited good form.

    Goodwin will Goodwin, baffling stuff really. What's worse is that if anything at least Taj plays with effort, pride and love for the club. His second efforts are second to none.

    Taj is sub again. Just like Bedford and Jordon.  Goodwin is so boring!!! Taj played well v blues and v eagles.  
     

    Freo might just give him a call and offer him a deal with a starting position.

    Love child syndrome, that's the only explanation.

    Pro tip: Don't read the news. Saved myself some cardiac issues this morning

    This is what happens when we don't have any real 2nd ruck on our list, or at least we don't use them.

    Absolutely baffles me it really does.

    Hey who was the guy wearing number 23 who ran on with the boys? Didnt look like an AFL footballer and sure enough a kick for goal and then off.

    • 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.
