    And Rhino, technically isn't it that we can't afford to have more than 4.125 wins - isn't it less than 16.5 points?

    Scully is the first pick whether it's the Dees, Freo, or Wagga Wagga thirds.

    Some stupid people post on here.

    You take Freo for fools. There selection of Hill shows they now know how to spot real talent.

    They got slaughtered in the midfield. If they get first pick, why wouldn't they take the head and shoulders best footballer available? :wacko:

    No decision is beyond the Fremantle Football Club, Rhino.

    :lol:

    I think last night was Mark Harvey's death sentence. The derby is going to be fascinating... they both can't lose... West coast winning is good for us, Freo replacing their coach could be just as good.

    Make no mistake about it.............without intervention from the coaching dept, this team will win more than 5 games this year, and we will lose the number 1 pick!

    The work rate is back up from the team, and the difference now is, they have belief!

    Will be a very interesting run home!

    Yep, all of that and don't underestimate the power of self-interest. I believe it was Peter Costello who said "In a two-horse race always back self -interest. At least you know it's trying!" A lot of our blokes are playing for their careers - they quite rightly couldn't give a bugger about what might best get better players to the club! Intervention from the FD is the only thing which will ensure we keep to the 4 wins!

    Thank god for the derby

    We will need more than that!

    Yes we will. I actually thought the coaches had a real crack at losing today but Port are just that ordinary they couldn't get over us. On today's form I thought we were 8 goals better than Port, we won by less than 2. I'm confident Scully's ours. I think our FD knows the importance of this draft.

    I dont think the MFC coaches did that today. But what can you do when the opposition's senior list squibs it?

    Either way, the footy dept knows they are safe for next year, but would also be aware that if they bring a kid like Scully into the club next season, he will help us improve in his first season, and subsequently improve their chances of sticking around longer as well!

    We will know what they are thinking in the next few weeks.

    If we get more than 4 wins this year then the Footy Dept should be sacked. They would be far from safe.

    With Scully out of our reach, who should we take?

    Trengrove the obvious one if we get pick 2.

    If we blow the PP we might not get the first pick until pick 5.

    Scully's ours, and yes Trengove does look good. Butcher will be looked at, as will Morabito

    Glad to see someone thinking positive.

    Should Scully not become a Dee, I liked Morabito - Go home factor is big though. Butcher looked overawed at the Championships and our need for a KPF is less after drafting Watts. Trengrove looked good and is the obvious second choice.

    Why is it big?

    Is it big for Cale Morton..? Or Jetta or Bennell? Was it for Jared Rivers?

    I don't agree with this assessment.

    I think its a false consideration invented by the football media so they have something else to speculate on when its a slow news day.

    • 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?

      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.
