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.

Gawn - great despite errors

Oliver - prolific but wasteful

Petracca - dynamism wasn’t enough

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: 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.
