McVee and Gawn escaped with no sanction from the Match Review Panel

Unusual to be on the right side of the MRO or tribunal.

Thought McVee was gone for all money.

    i thought reid would have gotten done for a week too, they are obviously all on paid holidays to Europe or some bs
     

    How can you win when the opposition have 3 or 4 players getting around 30 touches each week when only Oliver looks like getting around that on a regular basis. All our midfield can get that many, but only once or twice a year. Most of them struggle to get 20. What happened to the string of handballs and run instead of dumping it long.

    I feel like you can’t have Fritsch Johnson Jefferson and van Rooyen in the same forward line

    Petty must be in the last chance corral, or close to it. No idea who replaces him if he goes out, feels like it's just shuffling the deck chairs.

    A forward line of Jeffo, El Jeffo and El Jeffo Cantina would surely get the job done!

    Time to gel the backline for future years - disco, petty, adams, lever as talls. If May has another year use him forward instead of flicking disco and petty all over the place.

    Might as well play Jeffo, JvR up forward for the rest of the year to see what we’ve got. Maybe even Kentfield.

    No real point in playing TMac or Melky now if retirement is on the horizon.

    Hows this for a wild idea.

    Why not try Petty in the backline where he was a premiership defender?????

    Why not have Langdon on a wing where he can use his endurance, run and carry out of the back half and into the forward line?????????

    And may try the young bloke Windsor on the other wing where he almost won the rising star last year??????

    I wonder if any of these would work???????

    It's because we suck again, so they are not after us. 🫠

    Looking forward to seeing Petty, JVR and Disco kicking 10 between them again at Gold Coast.

    Bring back T Mac to stiffen up our defence. If the club was giving him a mid season rest to recharge his batteries, then that's totally understandable. However he'll be needed next week.

    Swap May and Petty.
    bring in sport psych to deal with kicking.

    Be thankful I haven't spent money on flights/accommodations/beers for the next few weekends.

    I want to see the following side for the Gold Coast game (assuming fitness).

    Ins: Jefferson, Sestan & Tholstrup

    Outs: Melksham, Salem & Sparrow

    B: Bowey May McVee

    HB: Howes Turner Lever

    C: Windsor Oliver Lindsay

    HF: Chandler Petty Petracca

    F: Pickett Jefferson Fritsch

    R: Gawn Langford Rivers

    Int: van Rooyen Langdon Sestan Tholstrup

    Sub: Viney

    I know this won't happen, but I want to see Goodwin get some gonads and make some tough decision.

    I also wouldn't be opposed to Adams playing ahead of Lever and May at some point.

    If Viney does play a full game, GET HIM OUT OF THE MIDFIELD!! Play Trent as the primary mid and maybe give Viney 20% of CBAs max.

    To be fair, Demonland is full of criticisms of Goodwin for not trying different things. It would appear he's damned if he does, and damned if he doesn't.

    We have one, alongside Ben Crowe who also covers this area.

    Both presumably working overtime at the moment.

    More he flip flops if it doesn't work straight away. You need to stick to a plan. Not just rotate players in and out continually.

    • 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?

      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.
