Yeah Blease and Strauss are the real bonuses for us for 2010. Basically means we will have SIX top-20 picks who haven't debuted yet for 2010!

    Could be one of my favorites.

    Could be? hahahaha sorry, I know what you mean, but this is a bizarre statement :lol:

    Tickled my funny bone. You have to agree...

    Well he did dominate the 2s of casey, but when playing with casey he took a while to get going a think he had a minor injury before his shoulder.

    Though he showed some great signs, i remeber him running from halfback and kicking a goal from 60 out after dodging players and linking up.

    Hopefully straussy and blease can get a ripper pre season going!

    Can anyone tell me how Blease is going with his injury? I've barely heard a thing about it.

    Good news about Strauss, looking forward to seeing him in red & blue.

    haha mate,

    Are you saying that his a certainty to become a gun?

    And that he will definitely be a favorite?

    I hope your right ;)

    No, it just that he's a favourite or he's not. To say 'he could be' is a bit ridiculous.

    Its all dependent on how good he turns out to be.

    Newton could be one of my favourites, if he could play like Wayne Carey.

    But he can't and it doesn't look like he will, so he's not and won't be.

    But I understand where you're coming from - if he develops as expected (and hoped), he will be one of your favourites.

    I'm exactly the same - can't wait for him to get a game cos I think he'll be a beauty.

    Probably why I enjoyed it so much. Partly having a laugh at myself.

    I'm right on this kid. Unlike so many of our hopefuls who look like they'd have been champions 15-20 years ago, Strauss looks like exactly the player type you target nowadays. Ok size, built strongly, kicks it like a surgeon. Think Davey with more size and less pace.

    • 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.
