nice call. from the reports, t-mac sounds next in line.. mabbe queens b'day for him?

and the Messiah..sounds like they're gonna give him a few games up forward, so.. mabbe Dees v WCE if ready?

Yes, the Dees v WCE game is firming for the Messiah. Wouldn't rule out Q B'day just yet, but that will depend on how he performs this weekend. Last night on Fox Sports, Robbo did mention that the Queens Birthday for Watts as a possible debut. What a debut that would be. If The Pies beat Port with good form, and Jack makes debut Monday week, expect 80,000 plus.

    Expect a big one. People are already talking about the game, what time to get there etc. Nice one for the coffers.

    There is one bloke who will not be looking forward to it........Michael Malthouse.

    Reason: Blockbuster fatigue.

    Thank goodness it will be his last! He should be marketing it to get the colling#$% army there rather then condeming it.

    If there is only one more game that we win for the year I hope its this one and give them a real touch up while we are at it.

    With Watts still a good lot of games away who will be the next first gamer??

    Was trying to think who it might be..

    Watts has to come in next week or against the filth

    Come on Jack, kick a bag tomorrow..... come in for the QB game. You just get the feeling that he might've provided a target that noone else would (or possibly could) tonight against the sainters.

    Can someone tell me when the rookies can play? After round 11? Hughes would have to be close.

    Dandee, with Meesen, Garland and Bleese all out for the season, we could place one on the LTI list to promote Hughes at any stage.

    I just poped this in the casey thread as well. Jurrah is a real chance, how good would it be for him to kick a winning goal against the filth late in the last!

    I'm obviously biased because of my connection with Liam, but having seen him play football for several years I can honestly say that he plays better, the higher is the standard of the game. With his speed and aerial skills, I reckon he'd find himself on the end of a few passes from Flash. I guess I'm just predicting that he'll prove to be a much better AFL player than a VFL player.

    It's probably me, but it feels like Groundhog day.

    As stated on another thread, I know for a fact Jack Watts will be next to debut. He is to line up against the filth on Queens Birthday.

    Thats a big statement, anything/source to back up the word FACT? people seem to get a bit twitchy when JW's name is mentioned.

    Well done!

    Although there still could be a chance he wont play. I don't want to put a dampener on it but on SEN this morning they are reporting that 2 brighton grammer students have tested positive to H1N1. Lets cross our fingers there has been no exposure!

    It will be great to see our first three picks from the 2007 draft plus Watts and Bennell, and if the inform Cheney gets a game that will be 6 players of our 22 that we have picked up in the last two drafts, that 27% of the team. We should see Strauss later this year and Jurrah, our match against Richmond it would be great to see Morton, Grimes, Maric, Cheney, Watts, Strauss, Bennell, Jetta, Jurrah, Spencer and the forgotton Aussie, 50% of our team made up from players from the last 2 drafts, I know I'm kidding myself but we might have to to get more game time into these Players as we could be sitting on 4 wins by then.

    "2 brighton grammar students have tested positive to H1N1".

    Great!!! Let's hope Jack passes it on. I can't think of any team more susceptible to PIG flu than the Mudpies. trouble is, it's such a mild illness that the only way you know you've got it is if you're imprudent enough to have an H1N1 test.

    I hope Jurrah can debut in the next couple of rounds because from what I saw of him today he looked classy and ready to play at senior level. I also like Bail's chances of playing soon.

    • 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?

      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.
