    We must be tanking, Bode is still in the team.......how many contests can you shirk and still get a game?

    Would be good to see Whelan get a game.

    I fear it may be his last year with us.

    Frawley Carroll and Jamar my emergencies.

    For the love of God Bails I know you're taking the [censored] having Frawley at CHF but don't even CONSIDER playing him up forward.

    i'd like to see davey frawley and cj in.

    although frawley and carol will be a toss up. however frawley would have played last week if not injured while carol was consigned to the twos.

    i spose wheelan could get a run for bell, but i think wheelan and cj are fighting for the same spot this week.

    when you consider we already have bode and bartram running round our backline, and mcdonald has played a few roles down there this year too, im not sure there is a spot for wheelan yet.

    I'll be pumped if Wheels plays. He's so effective with the ball, with such a calm head who i think can really help the backline

    Also i spent all Saturday night telling him to kick one for Sandy and then he'd get a game, so i want to be right!!

    With a couple of the 'ins' listed on the bench, it seems that way.

    Perhaps one of Morton or Bate will miss.

    Neither Bate nor Morton will miss.

    Lol, check out that half forward line.

    hahaha, i know... there's a much better half forward line sitting on the bench...

    A. Davey M. Bate A. Yze

    i'm not even going to try and pick the 22 given that extended bench and the way the players have been named, esp. that half forward line... bails is clearly playing funny buggers and will drop someone out of the 18...

    great to see CJ named though, Ruck Rover!

    WHAT DOES HE SEE IN FRAWLEY?

    Look, I don't think that Frawley is going to be the absolute champion that alot of people here have annoited him as but at this stage I'm happy for him to get as many games as possible. The fact is that we need to fast track as many KPP's as possible so who knows with some experience and a bit of confidence he may develop into a player.

    I guess the same thing he saw in Garland, and gee if my memory serves me correct most people bagged him and now he is everyones love child, how about we give them time in this developing year before we want them out.

    Apart from his poor disposal, lack of being able to read the play and isn't good at one on one contests I think he goes ok.

    Frawley wont be cut, as he was named in the starting 18. The three players left out must come off the extended bench.

    My lineup

    B - Bartram Garland Wheatley

    HB - Green Warnock Bruce

    C - Dunn Jones Davey

    HF - Woneamirri Miller Bate

    F - P.Johnson Sylvia Morton

    R - White McLean McDonald

    I/C - C.Johnson Bode Frawley Yze

    Emer - Carroll Whelan Jamar

    Where did you hear that from?

    As far as I know any one of the 25 can be dropped

    Nah, I also think that the 3 emergencies come from the bench.

    Bate on the bench, Frawley in the forward line...what is the world coming to?

    generally that's the rule, but Bailey hasn't been sticking to this at all... bringing players in from outside the 25, dropping players who are listed in the starting 18...

    and naming Frawley at Centre Half Forward, next to Bode and Bartram... well i don't think Richmond would have much idea right now about how we're going to line up from the way the team was named tonight, given the way we've made changes in the past...

    LMAO at the line-up, the half back line is almost as disturbing as the half-forward line.

    Bailey clearly couldn't be bothered organising the line-up so early in the week. Although I'm not sure how silly playing Frawley up forward is. You just never know what could happen.

    Anyways, bench should most certainly be Davey, Bate, Morton & Whelan.

    Davey and Whelan won't play.

    • 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.
