That should just about do it!

    Players that could come In would be, Sylvia, Frawley, Mclean, Jetta. I saw Stef Martin was off the ground late with an injury and obviously will have to see how Jurrah pulls up.

    The Tigers might be good enough to beat us even with a few of our better players back. I would save the likes of Bail, Hughes and Zomer for the North and Freo games.

    no! THIS WEEK is the real danger game.

    North are a decent and competitive team. they will beat us. We will beat Freo they are really that terrible.

    Thus we absolutely MUST lose this week!

    The big problem is Sylvia. Eligible to play this week, but if we're tanking, he shouldn't.

    In: Bail/Buckley

    Out: Jurrah (inj)

    If we must bring in Sylvia, then we have to drop Davey. Those two in the midfield means we might break even.

    Sylvia can't go straight back in!

    He's underdone after a few weeks off - he must pay his penance and earn his senior spot with a week or 4 in the VFL.

    Tanking or not, there's no way Colin won't come straight back into the team.

    In regards to changes, i'd like to see anyone who's under ANY sort of injury cloud or niggle be given the week off.

    OUT: Jurrah (ankle), Cheney (calf), Martin (injury)

    IN: Sylvia, Hughes, Jetta

    Ahhh, he has done his "penance" with been out for 3 weeks.

    He would be fitter than most of the side - given he has 3 weeks to get over sore spots & has been doing extra tarining sessions due to not playing.

    If Martin Is out we could bring In Spencer as our 2nd ruck.

    TANKING AGAIN are we :angry: .... GO DEES FOR A WIN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Richmond looked pretty good today. They will be keen to make amends for earlier in the year.

    Richmond are better than Sydney.

    We are no chance.

    From the small amount of posts I have read it seems as though we played pretty [censored] today, and I saw the Richmond game and they played well. I think we will lose by about 30 points so lets not stress.

    Again, the angrier you get the harder it will be.

    Disappointment would be a better emotion, it'll help you move on.

    Remember we're doing this so you can have two shiny toys to play with instead of one. Toys that will help us win lots of games of footy.

    Ok, big guy.

    Can somebody get True Believer 'AFL Premiership 2007' on the PS2?

    It'll keep him occupied...

    How confident are you? Don't kid yourself, the Toigs are a terrible football side, helped by an out-and-out champion who is still capable of stringing a few games together. My concern is that they'll drop off again having won a good one. Are they good enough to put two together? Will Cousins back it up? Will he get injured?

    Only one change for this week.

    Colin in, take your pick out.

    If the past few weeks are a precedent we'll probably have someone suffering an unexpected injury late in the week.

    If Cousins plays like he did against Essendon yesterday, we'll struggle but I don't want to give too much away because I think I'm doing this week's match report.

    Sylvia should have 1 run at Casey before returning. Why rush him in? Will play against Freo.

    Not sure on how bad Jurrahs injury is but if he is not 100 % dont play him!

    Would like not to make any unforced changes.

    Need to look at certain players that are on the fringe before the season ends and that includes a few from the team yesterday.

    Richmond will get confidence with the win they had, they have played decent for the last three weeks now.

    5 weeks of pain to go! Short term pain...Long term gain!

    Come on Dees!

    Don't get complacent. They've had their win and will be happy with themselves.

    Port was great against the Lions and then served up slop against us. Bottom teams do that. Bulldogs 07.

    It's a critical 4 weeks.

    Have your pick for INS. OUT: Davey

  • Quote

    Sylvia will come back in....

    I want to see Rohan Bail, Simon Buckley and Danny Hughes get a run.

    Especially Hughes. Think he would be quite good in the seniors.

    If anyone is injured they should be rested.... any niggles at all.

    Perhaps Bruce and Davey could have a bad stitch!!

    • 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.
