Axed defender Daniel Bell was given a reprieve, coming into the 18 before the seven-listed interchange players.

"Belly was a little unlucky to miss out on a spot in our side," Monaghan said.

"He was the obvious person to come into our 25."

Bad luck for Chip. Only set to miss the one game though which is good. Our matchups down back do look much better now with Collingwood's small forward line. This is the second game in a row we've brought someone into the side from outside the squad of 25.

    I think it's fair to say that Daniel Bell will be rather committed on Monday...

    I'm not completely unhappy with this.

    He played well in this game last year, and maybe able to hold Didak or Davis.

    Ahh, well that explains it then. Poor Frawley.

    Is there a penalty for bringing in someone outside the squad of 25? We've done it 3 times now, so I'm hoping we're not forking out money each time.

    Glad Bell's in, sad Frawley's out but hopefully that means rivers will play.

    Maybe my memory's gone, but didn't Bell get a reprieve last week?

    I tend to agree whole heartedly In light of Bail's remark as to "whom wil lstep up " this may well be the games that seals Bell's future one way or another.

    the lad has his moments.. but moments are required..its game after game after game.

    Ball's in your court Daniel

    Bell might be struggling for form, but Bell has NEVER shown anything but 100% commitment.

    And if Yze, Bruce and White are getting a game this week, Bell is not the only lucky one.

    Chip was just starting to build some form!

    Bell will look to lock down a spot. He should be at this best come Monday.

    • 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.
