Gawn playing behind, judging by this game and the last AAMI game demons playing in, going to see the ball a lot in their defence.

DEMONS’ WORRYING SIGNS AHEAD OF CRUCIAL YEAR
Simon Goodwin is contracted for next year, but if this is what Melbourne is going to produce in 2021, he might not get to 2022.
After clinging to the Bulldogs‘ coat-tails in the first half thanks to their inaccuracy, the unbalanced stats sheet finally was reflected on the scoreboard.
By the final siren, Melbourne had lost the disposal count 418-304, the clearances 48-24, the inside 50s 64-41 and the game by 39 points.
Admittedly the Demons were understrength, missing Angus Brayshaw, Clayton Oliver and Jack Viney from their midfield, plus Ben Brown and Sam Weideman up forward.
But this was still a particularly poor performance. We‘re not going to overreact now - but if this is happening again in April and May, Goodwin’s future will be the talk of the footy world.
--------------------------------preseason game. Lets be careful on extrapolating too much.
