How does Maxy get a measly 2 votes! Kozzy deserved the 10 for sure. But Max was the second (or third highest rated) player on the ground was he not? Goody not giving him the 4 to help him progress his ALFCA is grounds for dismissal.

Goodwin spoke pretty highly of Salem's game in the presser so thinking:

Goodwin - Pickett 5, Salem 4, Oliver 3, Gawn 2, Petracca 1 and Cox Pickett 5, Oliver 4, Petracca 3, Salem 2, Langdon 1. Agree that Gawn was better than a 2 vote game.

...and to push him past Xerri into greater AA certainty 🤨😄


I thought that it was an interesting contest between Max and Grundy, actually. They got about the same number of taps, but Max was clearly better around the ground. But he didn't absolutely dominate Grundy in the way he has done in recent weeks.

Grundy got a 9.8 game rating from Champion Data. Gawn was 14.8. That's a pretty comprehensive flogging.

Don't worry about that - HTF is Max not in first position on the leader board followed by Kossi and Bowza at 2 and 3?

Agreed. I think Cox didn’t give any votes for Gawn !! He probably thinks Grundy broke even. Gawn was clearer better.

I don't think Gawn won any votes from passing his shot at goal to Melksham. Oliver was outstanding and deserved his 7 votes. It was pretty emotional when he kicked the goal, his teammates got around him and the Melbourne faithful have him a standing ovation. We are building something very special.

So Cox doesn't want to admit that Gawn is better than him.

Exactly my take

Cox knows that if Max grabs an AFLCA gong this year, then it's going to be hard not to call Max the greatest ruck of the 21st century and relegating Cox to #2.

  • 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 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.
