He will stay in the 22 this week, and make everyone a bit unhappy with Maric as an emergency again this week.

Only because we're screaming out for some class and a little bit of flashy excitement. For my part I'd like to see the slow-burn improvement of Bartram as we need guys who can defend. People use the Ling example, and he was a tagger that didn't win possession for a long time.

I would rather see Maric than Junior at present to be honest.

I would too, but RR is right. With Green gone, McDonald is going to be REALLY important. We juuuust beat a team that is a complete leadership vacuum. Adelaide have some of the best leaders in the comp. Without mature heads Maric would come in and take part in a 10 goal loss, getting no touches... and what would that prove? The end of this week will show us more about where we are. Last week will be forgotten very quickly.

Would have him ahead of Dunn, Bartram, Bruce and Bate any day of the week.

Thank God you're not the one making decisions then. Bate, Bruce and Bartram have easily done enough to stay. Particularly Bruce who is in some very good form right now. Far be it for us to expect even the smallest amount of seriousness and maturity in any of your posts.

Dunn would be the closest out of that group, and even he needs to be given a number of weeks in a row to steady and show what he can do. Many of these players have never known what it's like to play with confidence. Dunn needs game-time and experience NOW. Maric has loads of time on his hands...

    Bartram to take McLeod like he has the last few times, which IIRC kept him to sweet FA.

    • 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?

    • 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.
