He did walk down the race with the team after the game without crutches but had a noticeable limp.

    Is it a suspected PCL, or similar? From a marking contest?

    Fingers crossed it’s nothing serious. It’s grim how much we’re missing him already, but such is life for us right now.

    Hopefully he’s back soon, and becomes a gun, as we traded out this year’s pick for him. Or am I wrong about that?

    Watched the replay and I’m not sure it was a contact injury. Appeared the ACL buckle. Hope I’m wrong as I’m a huge fan already

    Goody's post game presser he said they were hopeful of it not being too serious but would need scans to confirm.

    Fingers crossed for the young man.

    Just watching the incident I reckon we’re in for some bad news which is a real shame.

    Bah.. never before have I been so frustrated by the lack of information.

    I usually fully understand that the club just want to get the scans know before commenting.

    This one really hurts. Sitting here just fearing the worst.

    MFCSS and Norm Smith curse strikes again. Already two in form small forwards done for the year.

    Some of course won’t blame MFCSS but rather Goody, fitness staff, selectors, doormen, board, President or Jeff Kennett.

    Goody said Medicos usually know from examination but they were undecided so they will rely on scans.

    Line ball.

    This was the case with Max last year from memory. Hopefully we have the same outcome. 🤞

    If it is an ACL, it sucks for him and the team big time. It is clear as day, we are nowhere near contending this year.

    If there is a silver lining, he'll be able to return still in season and put in a mammoth amount of physical and fitness work for next year.

    • 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.
