    I like that squad and seriously rate ourselves a good chance!

    I heard Rodney Eade during the week that his team would be close to full strength.

    It's a good test for our young team!

    Go dees

    You would think the 24 would be the players in consideration for our first game, therefor IMO we should line up as per below

    Grimes Warnock Garland

    Buckley Rivers Frawley

    Morton Mclean Davey

    Sylvia Miller Green

    Dunn Newton Jetta

    Meesen McDonald Bruce

    Jones, Petterd, Bartram, Spencer, Martin, Moloney

    Cheney, Bail, Bell

    No PJ?

    Leaving messen and spencer to fight it out for rd 1! (if the LTI rumors are true)

    I saw Meesen at the Sydney game, and based on what I saw, he would never make our best team EVER! He was slow, he had poor attitude, and seemed to lack confidence.

    He needs to have a blinder against the dogs for him to get my vote. Spencer can not play as hes is a rookie. We need to have some one on the long term injury list. If Robbo is 8+ weeks away we could place him on the long term list.

    There is another thread going http://forums.demonland.com/index.php?showtopic=13796

    It has been suggested that Jamar has been put on the LTI due to foot related stress fractures. If this is true it makes sat game a little more interesting

    thanks. just posted. Sometime we have so many discussions on the same thing in different threads.

    Gonna head down there on Saturday.

    You always miss someone, Bate would replace Dunn and I don't really have a spot for Dunn even on the bench, I'd rather play Petterd and Bartram then Dunn.

    Would have liked Strauss to be given a go.

    Reports from PS3 in Cairns stated that PJ came off with what has variously been described as an ankle injury or a hip injury. The latter would be a bit ominous because he did have a hip op off season. He did come back onto the ground so it seems likely that it's a precautionary rest and hopefully nothing more.

    Good pick up Jack, also with Jamar out, there's no need to risk PJ before rd 1. If Jamar isn't put onto the LTI and PJ strains a hammy against the dogs, that leaves only Meesen to ruck with Spencer stuck on the Rookie list.

    I can confirm that was talking to Pj on facebook and he says he rolled it in cairns so he is having a week off

    Precautionary measure no doubt.

    24. Russell Robertson (Achilles) another month, then Casey.

    30. Tom McNamara (recovered from injury - probably with Casey next week)

    31. Paul Wheatley (calf) reasonably short term

    33. Austin Wonaemirri (hamstring) two more weeks (?)

    35. Trent Zomer ® (Casey next week)

    38. Daniel Hughes ® (unknown injury, unknown length of time out)

    Very happy to see Kyle Cheney is the team, to me he looks like a player who will work his butt off but wont be the fans favorite. just a little workhorse.

    Rohan Bail looks ready. But one would think he would have to make the most of his opportunities more then, say a Sam Blease.

    Brad Miller is growing on me more and more. His stocks were so low for me when he had that year ( i think 2 seasons ago, maybe 3 ) where he was supposed to be our enforcer. YUCK! Strength is in the head too boys.

    Im not sold on Bell, Bartam and Dunn. I just cant be confident when they have the ball.

    i am keeping the hype of rivers too a low, because i cant go through the pain of another injury interrupted season. He seems to be the first to go into battle but the first to get shot.

    See you all at the game today, bring a rain coat, because it is pissing down in frankston, which is close to casey

    I'll give you the news mate. It's pissing down everywhere. We were good in these conditions last week so it should suit us.

    Looking at the rain radar, it looks like the heavy rain should clear by the start of the match (and maybe all of the rain).

    • 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.
