    Fantastic ins, no real surprise with the outs though I don't know about bringing two guys back in for one game.

    Dew dropped for disciplinary reasons - probably lost weight against coach's orders .

    You have to say that this is the best team (on paper) we've had all year.

    Cheney's really, really unlucky. I thought he was one of our better players last week.

  • Quote

    That's a very good team. Glad to have Green back, we have been missing his goals. Cheny is very very unlucky. He was great last week and did some courageous stuff but with those 4 coming back someone had to be dropped. Also glad to see Bennell back in the team. Dew must be the hawthorn player dropped for disciplinary reasons. Quarters mentioned it when he said what's coming up in sport. He didn't mention Dew but just said the Hawks drop a star player for disciplinary reasons.

    Looking foward to sunday to see how we go.

    Happy with the team. The players returning are massive inclusions.

    Cheney is unlucky but understandable, I think he might be the sort of player who is on the fringes of selection week in week out, he certainly gives himself every chance.

    And I guess either Bartram or Petterd were going to be dropped. Ricky has to show a little bit this week.

    Overall I think the lineup is one that will give it a shake on Sunday.

    That's the best team we have fielded in a long time.

    It's a good sign when we have players unlucky to be playing in the senior team.

  • Quote

    Sensational that we are starting to get some real depth and competition for spots. Cheney, in particular, is extremely unlucky after an excellent game last weekend. The future is looking brighter and brighter.

  • Quote
    Cheney stiff, but still really happy with that side.

    Agreed.

    Hopefully Petterd is played in the backline.

    I'm particularly happy that with Frawley and Rives coming in as two defenders, Cheney (unlucky as you say) and Bartram have made way. In the past the team would be full of these defensive type players.

    P.S. I tipped Melbourne this week.

    If we had a gun key forward we would beat that Hawthorn side...

    Cheney is unlucky to miss but will probably be this week's emergency.

    'Unlucky' is understatment of the year. Would have him and C@#nt Bartram in ahead of the Pett at the moment.. and prob Miller!

  • Quote

    Great team.

    Definitely the best one we've fielded all season.

    Cheney stiff, but not as stiff as Bartram, who has done a great job this season under the most difficult circumstances.

    This will be the first time that Bartram has ever played seconds while at the MFC, which is a testament to the great services he has given us in his short career.

    If we can keep Buddy and Roughead to under 5 goals combined, we'll win.

    GO DEES!

  • Quote

    Yeah, Cheney's unlucky, but I suppose that's a good sign. It's incredibly tough to get a game down back at the moment. Where the heck are they going to fit Garland in there, when he's eventually fit?

  • Quote

    Neither of our main 'run with' players (Bartram / Dunn) have been selected, while Bateman, Mitchell, Sewell and Rioli are all going well for the Hawks. The match-ups will be fascinating!!

  • Quote

    Hmmm...

    Not only one of, but two of our best taggers and run with players get dropped, just as we come up against a side with a strong midfield.

    I'd have kept one of Bartram or Dunn.

  • Quote

    Cheney might be looking to get JMac to have a meeting with Bailey after this...

    Very stiff.

    If our midfield breaks-even we win, simple as that.

    Bartram hasn't really been dropped and won't be playing for Casey. The club is resting him and giving him some time off- he hasn't trained for the second half of this week. After a pretty stressful couple of months they're just giving him soon time to get refreshed.

    Cheney VERY stiff.

    While this makes perfect sense, and Bartram deserves times off if he needs it, why was he named in the Casey squad for this week?

    • 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.
