I tell you what. If he kicks 1 more he's a chance. 2 more and he's be the leading contender to get a nom this week.

A late season nomination is a bit of fools gold, especially in a mickey mouse award... But still... Reward for what has obviously been hard work that impresses his coaches.

Blowing us away now. Carlton 10.4.64 to 6.3.39 but what have we done to deserve the constand barrage of injuries in the second half of the season. I've never seen anything like this before.

    Take some Judd, add some Fevola... stir and you get a 5 goal lead before half time.

    Seems to me they were stuck in second, up until a few minutes ago where they found 3rd.

    I'm ok with that, but would like the ending margin not to be to different from this.

    This is not doing much for our percentage.

    How are we ever going to catch up to Fremantle is this continues? :wub:

    I bloody hope so - I'd love to trade him and get maximum value - who knows what we could end up with?

    Boak would be a very good result...

    Oh we'll catch up to them...

    In 2010.

    Hadley and Petterd gone for the game. Petterd with groin. I would say that's his season too, which is a shame. That would make him roughly the 76th player on our list to be done for the season.

    It's a real problem and something that has to be investigated.

    It looks very much like we have 20 fit players at half time in the second last game with only 2 or 3 available for Casey including Paul Wheatley who's starting in the twos and is probably there just to qualify for the finals.

    Meanwhile, Collingwood have all bar one or two players available for their two sides this weekend.

    Based purely on stats, it sounds like Sylvia, Jurrah and Bate are our best.

    I'd love us to come out and kick the first 3 goals of the 2nd half to give them a little scare, and then lose by 2 or 3 goals. Probably won't happen considering we're down to 20 men.

    And what's with McLean having only 5 touches for a half?. Can he not play well against quality? Is he being heavily tagged? Been on bench?

    Half time:

    CFC: 6.3 12.5 - 77

    MFC: 4.2 8.3 - 51

    We're getting beaten, and are going to lose I think. But we're far from disgraced with the injury list we have, against a potential top 4 side with ok form.

    Our standouts are Jetta who's had his best half, 15 touches and 2 goals. Jamar, with 3 ones providing a good target. Frawley was smashing Fev, until a 10 minute period where Fev got a couple. Sylvia also 17 touches to half time, and has been good.

    Some ok performances as well, Bate, McDonald, Moloney, and Valenti has been in there.

    Lots of concerns though. We have some players doing well, but not playing accountably. Their midfield are everywhere. Judd, Murphy and Gibbs showing what a couple more years development does. Gobbs has 24 touches to half time, Murphy 19. Altogether their side has 40 more handballs. Not a good sign, and the chief reason we'll lose this.

    Also, Some players are being held very well. Jurrah getting smashed (may have sore hand, due to dislocated finger), McLean had 1 touch part way through the second quarter, having played 80% game time according to MMM. He has 7 touches now. Davey has 6 touches and been very quiet. Robbo got hurt, but came back on. Has only kicked one.

    So much for Jetta's nomination. Garlett has it sewn up with 4.1, a minute into the 2nd quarter. Morton on him according to the older spud on MMM.

    OH NO!

    Whelan has done a hammy. And that's the last we'll see of him, stuck on 149 games. Inauspiscious end to one of the best demons I've ever seen.

    Thread to come.

    Jamar snaps a 4th!!!

    Who the hell is he and what has he done with Mark?

    Snap goal to Betts and they're 27 points up halfway through the third.

    This is going to be a high scorer!

    • 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.
