Defence stood tall and pressure forwards played a massive role. That being said, nobody had more influence on the result than Gawn.

Just a champion

But needs to learn his to kick with a permanent hook

Daylight

5 Rivers for 3 3/4 qtr for his run and carry

4 Sparrow lifted again with his tackling and determination

3 Langdon plays with heart and runs all heart

2 Viney tackling machine (just needs to kick a goal when he has a chance … missed 3 chances )

1 Chandler plays with heart and smart footy

Don’t get sucked into stats - Bowey Salem lazy disposals and little chip kicks time to get real and use the footy with purpose

And strugglers were

The glory that is Demonland. Two posts in a row. One gives Spargo a minus 1 while the other a vote of +1.

My votes:

  1. Gawn 5. Bowey 4. Salem 3. Petracca 2. Sparrow 1. Rivers

Viney's tackling was superb, but he seems to have forgotten the gameplan once he has the ball. Those long dump kicks don't belong any more. (What's worse, is that perhaps he was trying precision passing and wasn't capable of doing it.)

6 Max Gawn

  1. Gawn. I will be able to tell my grandkids I saw this legend play live.

  1. Bowey. Maybe 1/3 of his disposals were those easy ones across half back, but apart from those, this bloke is now our chief distributer. He looks for the 45 degree angled kick, he changes lines and angles, and on the run is a reliable kick finding targets (except for his first kick this game which was a shocking howler).

  1. Petracca. He's not back to his peak, but he is back.

  1. Langdon. The everywhere man. Gets to the next contest, then the next...

  1. Salem. Reads the play so well and distributes well. However, I feel his disposal doesn't often hurt the opposition.

  1. Sparrow. Good to get one of our forwards into the votes. His grunt work and foot skills were great tonight.

Couldn't get Oliver, Chandler and Rivers in.

@La Dee-vina Comedia I am puzzled why anyone would give Charlie Spargo a vote. Amazed. I would not even have Spargo in my top 18 contributors last night to be honest. Sharp contributed as much and perhaps even more in his 1/4 versus Spargo’s full 100 minutes.

Spargo had 3 clear missed tackles where he was pushed aside. Not good enough. Metres gained 96!! 7 possessions. 2 clangers. No pace. No crumbing. No scoreboard impact. He is somehow getting a game!! Chandler is our best small forward by a mile.

We need to add another crumbing pacy goalkicking small forward in this years recruiting.


6 - Max

5 - Bowey

4 - Salem

3 - Rivers

2 - Tracc

1 - Sparrow

Apologies to JV (15 tackles), Clayton, Ed, TMac, May and the musketeers.

You should look at the interplay where there is vision of spargo and Goodwin

  1. Gawn

  3. Viney

  4. Petracca

Rivers, TMac and Lingers all unlucky.

Thought Sparrow showed much improvement.

Still no dominant forward

On the 10th anniversary of the Dismissal, Gough was asked his opinion of Malcolm Fraser. His response, "Malcolm Fraser, much improved".


I think it was part of the final quarter , when Max had come off. He and max were chatting and either before or after Spargo and Goody hugged each other As if to say that went well or worked out. Willing to be over ruled just what I remember not positive when. but after half time

Gawn

Bowser

  • 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.

  • PREGAME: Carlton

    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.
