    No, absolutely happy if there's no change.

    I almost forgot about Bail (emerg's), as Strauss is playing well.

    There's two players in the emergency list that absolutely deserve a game but can't currently get one. Love it.

    Geez I'm excited about this week.

    Garland, Frawley, and Warnock are making it hard for Rivers...

    And I love Jared Rivers.

    Maybe Future Garland to do what Bruce does now, and there is a Future Rivers...

    You gotta love the fact that usually a thread like this is buzzing with complaints or congratulations at the selection committee as people see that we've made 3 or 4 changes.

    When we name an unchanged line-up it's just not the same.

    Not if Rivers meets Future Rivers.

    There'd be a tear in the time-space continuum and the universe would cease to exist.

    Best to keep Rivers at Casey and play Future Rivers in the 1s.

    Which Universe? The Universe where Melbourne are ordinary - That has already ceased to exist!

    Good to see no change it rewards the players for their efforts to date.

    Looks like we got the good Warnock the Carlton one has been dropped this week.

    I thought he was an umpire.

    Bail very unlucky not to get his spot back... was absolutely fantastic in the first four weeks. Didn't get dropped, couldn't over a corky in time. Thought the bloke that replaced him last week might make way - thought wrong on that

    fair thought, martin did enough to deserve a spot but if it had've been any other week bail's efforts in the first few weeks could have trumped him.

    this week though - 50 point win over 2nd placed side, combined with nth play 3 ruckmen.

    lol, when i was at the pies v demons game i was there with 2 pies and a blues man. we ended up chatting about warnock, he thinks robert warnock was an awesome pick up and will dominte this season... I laughed in his face, in turn he got offended :)

  • Quote

    Any team that has an in-form Rivers and Bail listed as emergencies is a team on its way to the finals. Surely.

    And, to think, Morton, Jurrah and Wona are probably due to return in the next month to six weeks. Cannot believe how hard it is to get in this side at the moment.

    That's not to mention Tapscott, Gysberts, Strauss, Blease and a few others.

    Guess which Warnock brother has been dropped this week? I think that says it all.

    Random thought of the day:

    If we win, Western Bulldogs beat St kilda, Carlton beat Collingwood and Brisbane beat Sydney, then we'll still be out of the 8 despite us being 4-2.

    And that would be the definition of a log jam!!!

    Yeah this could be a possible ladder at the end of the round:

    Brisbane 5-1

    Geelong 4-2

    Sydney 4-2

    St Kilda 4-2

    Collingwood 4-2

    Carlton 4-2

    Fremantle 4-2

    W Bulldogs 4-2

    -------------------

    Melbourne 4-2

    Port Adelaide 4-2

    Melbourne 4-2

    Port Adelaide 4-2

    Wouldn't that be something?

    Then at the bottom you'd have Richmond and Adelaide winless, West Coast with 1 win, one of Hawthorn and Essendon with just 1 win and the other with 2 and North with 2. So there'd be a fair gap developing already.

    For structure alone I like Martin in the side.

    Bail will get more opportunities.

    • 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.
