Last week Captain Max Gawn consolidated his lead over reigning champion Christian Petracca in the Demonland Player of the Year Award. Steven May, Jack Viney & Alex Neal-Bullen make up the Top 5. Your votes for the win over the Cats. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

Despite dominating for large parts of the match and not making the most of their forward opportunities the Demons ground out a hard fought win and claimed a massive scalp in defeating the Cats by 8 points at the MCG.

Off the market

Hook this directly into my veins.

It's Game Day and the two oldest teams in the competition, the Demons and the Cats, come face to face in a true 8 point game. The Cats are unbeaten after 8 rounds whilst the Dees will be keen to take a scalp and stamp their credentials on the 2024 season. May the 4th Be With You Melbourne.

There's no need for an apology @kev martin I'm open to discussing this topic, provided it's handled with civility and respect. It's a significant social issue. However, it's important to acknowledge that discussions on some matters can sometimes become intense. This is why political topics are not allowed on Demonland. Granted this certainly isn't a political issue. We aim to prevent these intense debates from spilling into the footy discussions, which could potentially disrupt and close threads. Our moderators lack the time and training to manage these issues to everyone's satisfaction. In this instance, I had at least two women express discomfort and a feeling of unsafety due to the heated nature of the discussion in that thread, and they were not alone in their concerns. Administering this website can be particularly stressful, especially this year, and I've come close to shutting it down several times. I welcome discussions on the topic of domestic violence and societal violence against women. Anyone is free to initiate a thread on this matter. However, please be aware that if the discussion becomes too heated, it may be closed.

Based on our Bench (if that's where the sub is coming from) then it has to be between Laurie and Woey. Since Woey was played in Salem's position I would assume he will be given that role again this week. Therefore the sub is likely to be Laurie again.

He wasn't with the Casey boys (Demon listed players only) and I didn't see him with the other players on the injury list (Salem, Bowey, Spargo & Melksham) who were doing some work with the trainers after the session.

You'll like the GC marathon. Flat straight track from memory. I did the half marathon a while back.

Paging @Supermercado

Let's not go crazy. Might just be dropping back.

I'll also add that there were no surprises in any of the lines. Usual forwards (including Disco) were with the forwards whenever they split into lines. Usual mids with Mids and usual defenders were with the defenders. The only anomaly I observed was when the Defenders split off and were just doing a kick to kick type drill Max joined in with them.

Knee still heavily strapped but he confirmed on the podcast the other day that there is no structural damage and it is more a pain management issue.

The training run was typical of all the Captain's Run I have observed in the past. I was a fairly quick and light session to get the legs moving with little contact and pressure. Players looked switched on. Skills were sharp. Goal kicking for the most part was accurate from my vantage point.

This wouldn't be Demonland if we didn't misspell someone's name.
