Is there a "cut off" time to elevate? Or can you elevate someone off the rookie at any stafe of the season? I seem to recall you could only do it before rnd 1 and there was a mid season option.

Jordie would be the 1st choice, Spencer 2nd then ennie meenie minny moe...

    No. No cut off. You might be thinking of the promotion opportunities for Clubs with no Veterans who need to fill their list. Even then I'm not sure there's a cut off.

    With promotions for LTIs, rookies can be promoted whenever there is a space on the list for any period of time. For example, if in 8 weeks time it turns out Newton earns himself a spot in the 22, he can be elevated into LJ's spot until such time as he is fit to return.

    Memo to Michael Newton: This week would be the best time to play the game of your life and kick a bag of goals.

    I don't think he reads his memos.

    Newton probably not ever. Spencer is less likely if Martin continues to impress and Jamar stays unhurt.

    Impress? Martin's doing anything but impressing in the ruck.

    For mine, Martin is best in defence, and second best as a forward. Ruck just isn't his thing. Ergo, we need to promote Spencer and play him alongside Jamar as our ruckmen.

    Memo to Michael Newton: This week would be the best time to play the game of your life and kick a bag of goals.

    If only it were that simple. Even if he does kick, say, 5 goals this week, we all know he could, and probably would, turn in a shocker if he played Round 1.

    • 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.
