    Are you saying Apple are rotten to the core? Should stick to bananas.

    That may well have been my first mistake.

    the second was listening to my brother who is a Lions member.

    Looking like we will have more new players in our first game than any other side. Tigers had one and Blues none. While in time they will add to our side, it might be hard early on, to gel quickly enough to win.

    I was surprised the Tigers didn't pick Vlastuin (their first round pick) because, from all accounts, he was travelling well. They also have a handful of players from other clubs who they picked up this year and haven't selected which indicates they're hoping to use that depth later to overcome the inconsistency in their performances last year at times when injury struck.

    Carlton, on the other hand, barely did any recruiting at the end of last year due to salary cap issues. They're hoping that the new coaching regimen will swing the necessary changes to get them back up the ladder.

    If Carlton win I will completely lose faith in the law of averages.

    As for the MFC, I understand that it's as rare as hen's teeth to see teams win in the opening round if they have more than four new players. We should have at least that number.

    I think we will have between 6-8 new players.

    Who is surprised that the Tigers did not pick Petterd who was similaiarly claimed to be travelling well [in his new role as a sweeping backman] and who was promoted off the rookie list?

    Sydney is said to have 1091000 supporters as of December 2012. No wonder we find it hard to compete with some of the AFL clubs in the membership/sponsorship race.

    I can see Demonland going into meltdown if we put in a poor one. Saintsational is probably doing that right now.

    Has anyone been sacked yet.

    I am surprised that Rodan got dropped and not Byrnes. They both played poorly, but I thought Byrnes was far worse, in that he fumbled several times a few of which which led to Port goals. I still am not sure why we got him, there had to be better. Ben Warren who we discussed on here a bit would have been far better, much younger and quicker.

    I could never see the hunger for Pedersen. 2 games last year for the Roos and we were so desperate to get him.

    I suppose they all deserve another chance.

    Agree 100% Redleg particularly Pedersen. I watched his highlights reel and it seemed to be all one game which made me wonder.

    All these selections concerned me at the time.

    I said a number of time over the summer that Roden, Brynes, Gillies and Pedersen were players who were past it or struggled to get games with there previous teams.

    Now it is only one game but they do not look flash so far.

    Why with us?

    Ben Warren kicked 11 goals for Werribee last week against Port.

    I had the pleasure of watching him on ABC TV while I was checking out Gysberts' performance.

    I can see us putting up a good fight in the first half and then getting run over, with the Bombers 14 day break over our 6 day break being a big factor. After the battering the players copped I am sure their effort will be AFL standard, I am just not convinced with their talent.

    You may be right, Redleg, but it would be great to see Jack Watts kick the winning goal after the siren, just to watch all the Dons supporters walk out in disgust ... :lol:

    • 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.
