    PJ played a shocker, the best thing he did all game was see the ball over the boundary line.

    I think he will play next week, due to the fact that Bailey might not risk playing two young and inexperienced ruckmen.

    Are you nuts? Bruce was our best player after Davey... and the fact that he didn't give up in that final quarter was the reason we put a bit of respectability on the board. Your spot on with the other three though, but I would add Dunn to that group. Hopeless!

    PJ will stay in. Meeson played alright, anyone think he did ok? cause I reckon he did the job well. Out Sylvia in Robertson or Jurrah. If Robertson not fit enough then Wonaeamirri. If both robbo and wonna are not fit enough then Jurrah and Maric.

    And forgot to say out Jetta.

    Jamie Bennell coming along very nicely.

    I hope Jetta plays next week. He has the potential but needs to find ways of getting the ball and contesting. I thought he played well in the first quarter but then he completely dropped off.

    Perfect, except Junior will play if he's fit.

    Aussie is not fit to play, and when he is it's likely he'll come back through the VFL to test out the hammy.

    Robbo needs at least another full game after missing 10 months of footy.

    None of Bruce, McLean or Miller will get dropped. I do wonder sometimes whether people just express their insane desires in these topics, or whether they ever happen to take reality into account :rolleyes:

    They were pretty critical of Sylvia on SEN but he was named in the best on the club website.

    In: Maric

    Out: Jetta

    McDonald, Robertson and Whelan are obvious selections if fit.

    It's sad that you say that, because it seems to be the way coaches think also. Afraid to drop the big names. For the sake of the development of this team, DB has to start dropping players that don't perform. Aparently Miller was working very hard off the ball all day, Bruce didn't stop trying, even in the last quarter, but as far as Mclean goes, He's certainly not good enough at this point to be playing AFL football. DB needs to grow some balls and make some tough decisions. All in all i wasn't too upset with the result against port. There were many positives to take from the game.

    I do agree with you though regarding not jumping the gun... im certainly not wanting Bailey to yeild the ax, but just show and prove to the melbourne players that if you as a player don't have a good game, you will be dropped, no matter who it is. People are calling for Jetta's head because he didn't perform... what about the senior players who didn't perform?

    He wants Bruce out every week.

    How far away is Wrecker?

    You guys are aware Aussie is injured, tho an injured aussie would almost be better than what we got at the moment.

    Bruce? ummmm no mate, 29 touches, 8 marks, 2 goals, and 1 centre clearance.

    Yeah but Players dont get games on potential they get games on their match performances, and if Maric is playing good footy at casey then bring him in, but your right he has got it.

    How many possessions once the game was over?

    2 cheap goals in the last quarter.

    Padding his stats.

    its their insane desires, particularly when it comes to YM, anyone with any knowledge knows that McLean and Bruce won't be dropped :blink:

    Out: Sylvia, PJ - both of 'em can play for Casey for the rest of their careers as far as I'm concerned

    In: Jmac, Spencer. (If Jmac isn't fit then a traffic cone for Sylvia will do)

    Not sure about the Bruce bashing :wacko: The side looked a hellova lot better when he fired.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      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?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      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.
