Champion data for what it's worth rated Gawn at 17.6 v Cameron 10.0. In a head to head contest that's about as comprehensive as it gets. Gawn was excellent (again) against one of the other top level rucks in the comp.

You know... stats are bull . Champion Data has created a trough of rubbish that many feed on.

How someone gets the chocolates in rucking when the opponent wins the outcome.. I.e. the clearance is handed to the opposition never fails to give me a chuckle.

Gawn was very average, hit to opponents advantage and his dreadful disposal is cause for concern

You seem to have completely different standards for different players. It's weird how little you give Gawn credit considering some of the players you give free passes to.

Rivers - has lost momentum

Bowey - another excellent display

Fritsch - had more involvement

May - outstanding all game

Sparrow - a bland performance

Salem - what’s his role?

Pickett - the real wizard

Turner - safe and reliable

Langford - needs a break

Chandler - some minor involvement

Tholstrup - lacked spatial awareness

Melksham - tried against odds

Petty - little to enthuse

Lever - steady under pressure

Van Rooyen - continued doing nothing

McVee - unobtrusive but effective

Howes - held important opponent

Lindsay - needs a rest

Windsor - limited game time

Langdon - unlikely effective tagger

May - Turned back clock

Petty - Playing one-man down

Lindsay - Tried yet limited

Windsor - Back to Casey

Chandler - Continued good season

Rivers - A wasteful accumulator

Pickett - Brought the energy


Hey !!!!!!! We lost by 1 F.....l..lPoint so we are not that far out of it.

The way people are posting you would think we were 105 points down in the first Q and had a side of U14 players C Division @ Sea Lake

It’s the hurt. It hearing that putrid song. That putrid side by side song. It’s sitting on the train and heating their arrogant POS supporters all laughing. It’s turning up to work today and getting the [censored] banter about May & Gawn and the taunts about the Dees off to the snow. It’s not a cocoon. We live in the real world. We just want to beat them. We should have won it. I’m getting sick of saying it. It’s frustrating. That’s why the posters are venting. It’s frustrating. It’s anger. It’s passion. We don’t accept honourable losses. @Demonland

Jefferson's a good example. He's shown nothing at AFL level yet and you keep telling us that he's got it. He's not and never will be a quarter of the player Gawn is.

And I hate to say it... Oliver. I know he's been a brilliant player for us and I've still got a soft spot for him but you never held him accountable for a litany of poor performances that he had last year. If Gawn ever dropped off to the same level that he did you'd be calling for him to go and never come back.

You also started a thread on Brodie Grundy and suggested that he was better than Gawn when literally no one else has that opinion.

Ok I am a Jeffo fan, and he SHOULD have been given a suite of games on the back of good form last year when all was lost in the senior team. This year he has played 3 games

Game 1 Showed promise with 2 goals

Game 2 Broke his hand late first quarter/ early second resulting on a stint on the sidelines

Game 3 Should NEVER have been picked on zero form at Casey but was, terrible player management as I said at the time.

Then dropped and played 3 games at CASEY 2 which have been outstanding, and still not getting a game ( so much for selection integrity)!!

So you can say what you like but your superficial view of football and footballers and in particular LACK OF FACTS must be an embarrassment, to yourself, but go ahead BAG me, and you would know, being similar yourself!

Great effort, I must say! You have your opinion, I have mine, happy to reconvene at the end if his first contract in 2026 then!

This is very fair. Jeffo's recent form at Casey was ahead of JVR's; he should've been recalled ahead of him.

Mopping up the taps to take full advantage isn’t Max’s job - that’s for the mids to be in the right position. They know where they have to be.

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
