    Some of these comments are absolutely absurd.

    Xerri is best ruck in the comp and still on the rise. Max had one bad game against him. He doesn’t need to retire after one poor game. 
     

    Langdon was a bright spot last year and he’s being asked to shift roles this year. He’s had a bad game. Doesn’t mean his career is over. 
     

    Get a grip people. 

    Let's discuss Max more in depth.

    Do you think he's got the speed and stamina require for the current style of footy?

    Unless you make him a more permanent piece in our fwd line, don't see him being good come next year. He's been a great ruckman and thanks for your service but we need to move forward.

    Sad thing is we haven't got anyone good to bring in.

    Goody never makes strong statements & drops players that need to be dropped

    Losing is not the issue it the lack of effort by senior players and the lack of talent on those coming through. This is no light on the horizon stuff. Absolutely no positives at all

    No. He's still a very good player. Trouble is he's had to carry everything by himself for eons.

    The club admitted as much when it recruited Grundy.

    Did it bother replacing him ?

    Na. Just didn't care.

    9 goal belting by north. I’m dreading the Geelong game

    Speed? He’s never been fast but somehow managed to be the GOAT and a 7x AA selection…

    Stamina? Absolutely. He’s still a warrior. 
     

    Are you sure you’ve been watching the same Max Gawn that everyone else has for the past decade?

    of all the rubbish from this team today our greatest club champion of all time is the guy you’re ready to kick to the curb???

    Far too many broken tackles today.

    More inside 50s and losing by 10 goals is something. 

    Rivers must be pulling his hair out. Working so hard to find an option. No one leading or moving at all. Finally finds an option and delivers accurately under pressure. The player he kicks to bombs long or turns it over.

    Not as much as Clarry


    Jeez, that trash today Collingwood is beating us in stats for the game!IMG_6323.jpeg.a7f5b8123438ec365b8f0cf3bee578b5.jpeg

     

    Midfield absolutely pantsed today, poor stoppage set up, need to honey pot then getting burnt in transition.

    Gawn well beaten

    Viney 3 times blazed into f50 straight down Combens throat, handballs not hitting targets, kicking over teammates in the open.

    If you want to be a laughing stock you sack the coach in Rd 2

    Stay strong regroup and back your players, to turn the basics around

    Our problem is that we won't move forward, like with Goodwin.

    That includes the playing list, as hard the decision may be.

    • 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.
