    And Rohan Bail should be lining up for Casey this weekend. Have emailed the club with a minor whinge that he should be on the injury list.

    Matthew Whealan??

    Did Cheney play at Casey last week?

    Wheelan was limping after playing a half; not good.

    Cheeney did not play.

    Cheney isn't injured. He didn't play on the weekend because he was the nominated game-day emergency (i.e. if there was a last minute need for a late change, Cheney was on standby).

    Where's Grimes? Is he fit now?

    Yeah, he played for Casey last weekend despite not getting a mention in Peter German's report.

    After this week, fingers crossed we will only have Jamar, Wheats, Green & Garland on the injury list.

    Im starting to feel sorry for "Wheels". He has been a fantastic player for the MFC. However the way Benell, Martin, Frawley, Warnock, Rivers, and Davey clicked on the weekend, It is going to be tuff to break into the back line. Throw in Cheney, Garland, Grimes just to name a few, to get in our back six is going to be the hardest spot to get if you are not 110% in the future.

    UNfortunately I thinkolgreydingo is right , love the wrecker in full flight let's hope he can make it back this year

    WE should keep him on as full time tackling coach if he can't make it back ,he is probably the best tackler i have ever seen done the red and blue

    Thanks "Bates Mate" for your thoughts. I would love "Wheels" to be the "Little General" of the back line. Remember he is only 29. we do need experience, but were does he fit?

  • Quote

    When he is up and going he is always in our best 22. In a back pocket. Problem is he hasn't been able to consistently stay on the park and unless something changes drastically soon I fear that he and the club may feel that his spot is better occupied by a draft pick.

    He will be missed if he can't get going both for his physicality and the leadership he provides particularly for the indigenous boys,

  • Quote

    Whelan has struggled to be continually fit for the past three years and his influence on the ground has waned. His birth certificate says 29 but his body is older than that and the soft tissue injuries are mounting.

    I thought he would retire last year. I am certain he will this year. I dont think he is as big a loss now as last year.

    BTW, a mate saw him in the crowd after the MFC game hobbling awkwardly. Hardly fit.

    I read somewhere that Wheels has done a quad last weekend, :( .

  • Quote

    According to Peter German on the MFC web site

    "Matthew Whelan (reserves) – He only played a half, as he's on restricted time. His half was a lot better than the week before. He's still a week or two away. "

    Where will Bell eeee fit in?

    He will be playing midfield this year and could spend some time up forward. He will be returning this week via Casey.

    i think we have seen the last of wheels, does anyone know his contract status?

    Cheney, Bennell have taken his role as the small defender and with Rivers back he becomes the general down back

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
