A few years the height of our players changed overnight. Robbo who had been 184 for years went to 187 & Brad Miller went from 192 to 194.

Now I get the 09 guide book & guess what? Col Garland has shrunk from 191 to 189 & Miller is back to 192. Newton has lost 3cm while Macnamara & Buckley have both lost 1cm from last year & but Jamar is up 1cm to 198.

The big surprise packet is Stef Martin who over the break has grown 4cm to be at 200cm.

Is it something in the Casey water ????

    Not sure about the others but Newton could easily have lost 3cm by toning down the fauxhawk.

    I'd be more worried about Rohan Bail who's put on 10 kg (again) to be back to 91kg. This is a lot of weight for a speedy young wingman-forward

    to be lugging around. Makes those stories about him being a decorated distance runner look dubious as well.

    These numbers are rubbish.

    Every club does that.

    I reckon they must measure them with shoes on some years and not others

    I reckon you're right. Except, who ever heard of a person gaining 10 kg from their shoes? By the way, what's your avatar supposed to be?

    Its from the movie 'Max Payne' -- possibly THE worst movie I've ever had the displeasure of sitting through. Horrid.

    Call me pedantic but its a serious matter.

    If Steph Martin can add another 4cm in 2010 he will be our No 1 Ruckman

    Yeah it is a pretty average movie.

    That scene is cool though. If the whole movie was from a messed up drug perspective it might have been pretty good :lol:

    Not impossible for a guy his age to put on a few centimetres...

    • 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.
