has something positive to say, and any of the guys that might be in doubt to be at the club next year, he's mentioned in reference to how they're going to go next year.

    I like the JMac one, which I reckon kind of reflects on some of the others. Saying that he's a perfect example of what to do when you don't have the footy. Perhaps it offers a bit of insight as to why he was retained? Maybe the off-ball efforts of many of our youngsters are viewwed as not good enough?

    Yeah they are keeping cards close to their chest. Although to be that positive about Batram i cant see him being delisted unfortunately.

    He's just gone in for another hip operation and he will have a limited pre-season.

    A bit concerning

    Interesting comments about Danny Hughes, looks to be in the clubs plans long term.

    If you were to judge from that article who would get kept/promoted we would have 46 players on our list and Scully and Trengove would be going to Richmond and Fremantle respectively.

    Everyone got a good review.

    Let's face it, the Orange Roughy isn't the most photogenic bloke going around in the first place (but yes, I agree, not flattering at all)

    I noted this too .... hopefully its just a sign that they are going to say something good about every player.

    If the whispers are right that Hughes was going to sue them unless he got re-listed this year - they'd be pretty careful not to say anything negative about him -

    I heard vague whispers of this too, but on what grounds would he sue them? I just don't get it.

    If the whispers are right then id say you don't know what your on about champion. Hughes is going to be an explosive legend-you wait. And stop listening to the whispers.

    True, but I think that's because such a large number of our young +/- fringe players have showed something at some stage, but it's too early in their careers to really tell exactly how big their upside is, and how close they're going to come to fulfilling their potential. The only exceptions to this are contracted until end 2010.

    Could this be evidence that, on the whole, the FD is pretty much satisfied with our current list (again, allowing for those contracted till end 2010)? I think that our first 3 picks are going to give us everything we want out of this draft. We may end up not using even our pick 34, mainly because all of our current fringe youngsters would be a better bet for the future than pick 34 anyway. And the PSD is a lottery. We may have done more or less all the delisting we need.

    • 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.
