    I wouldn't rush Frawley back, and certainly not Rivers, but Green looks to be definitely in.

    IN - Green

    OUT - Dunn

    Push Petterd into where Dunn was playing, and Green into a FP (probably where he will play the rest of his career)

    Really hope Green hasn't suffered from the 'car-crash'; some players just can't go as hard as they used to when coming back from a big hit like that.

    And if we win this week you can say goodbye to that PP...

    With Green likely to come back this week (although i'd prefer them to ease him in from such horrific injuries), it changes a few of my inclusions a bit.

    With Frawley and Rivers both likely to miss again, McNamara has to be close. He played well again on Sunday for Casey, and has been consistent over the last month. Would be stiff to miss out. Jamar shouldn't be far off either, but only played around 60% game time at Casey in his first game back. It really all depends on whether the coaching staff want him to play out a full game at Casey before coming back into the MFC side, or if they're happy for him to play 50-60% game time at AFL level as 2nd ruckman. With Spencer likely to be play for Casey seniors this week, Jamar could very well come back in and play that relief ruckman role.

    Petterd needs to work on his consistency. Would like to see him go back and have a strong 4/4 effort in the VFL. And Dunn, well, he's just consistenly disappointing.

    IN: Green, McNamara / Jamar

    OUT: Dunn, Petterd

    EDIT: Forgot about Bennell. Don't know how i'd fit him in but he shouuld definitely come back in after his rest.

    Don't think Petterd should be dropped. He was a bit quiet last week but overall he has had a good season.

    Only one change for mine:

    Out-Dunn

    In- Bennell

    Obviously Rivers, Frawley and Green could be back but I have no idea who would be dropped in place. Definitley not Cheney or Whelan.

    There's so many players i want in but who to take out?

    In an ideal world i want Green, Bennell, Rivers and Frawley to come back in. There will be some headaches at the selection table this week.

    • 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.
