    25 man squad.

    neeld indicated that this week would be pretty much the best 22. Guess his going with that + 3 emergencies.

    Would hope that this is a further use of the practice arena to utilise the features of the squad.

    Maybe more of a run at Casey at a lower level to fine tune and yes rest for round 1 if needed.

    Probably needs to give Green a run

    Paterns systems structures all need to be trialled. I hope we have more than one

    We cannot play all players in every match I think rotation could be a good asset as long as we win a few games with the team and pattern we choose for the particular opponent.

    Why was Watts dropped and Fitzgerald rested!

    Because Watts is in the mix for round one Fitzpatrick is a back up ruckman that hopefully we don't see at AFL level this year, he has a rest then resumes his VFL preparation, hopefully Watts is on fire and gets on track for round 1

    Grimes is out for another week prior to warming up with Casey the weekend prior to Rd1, I believe.

    Where the hell is Grimes?! :(

    Having a full game a Casey

    Is Sportingbet running odds for the Casey practice match this weekend? The Scorp's would have to be around $1.04 wouldn't they?

    Really nice, solid squad , its taller and more mature than recent year. I really like it.

    Yet it looks to have good upside with some "potential" sitting in the wings that have to prove themselves to get a game - both physically & mentally.

    Makes me feel very positive that we are now heading in the right direction. I really like it.

    PS Cant wait to get Viney & spend those Scully picks

    I honestly think that squad looks slow. For every thoroughbred there are 2 clydesdales.

    What does everyone think re the result of this game.

    Last game of 2011 Port beat the Dees by 9 points but I never thought we looked like winning

    New FD

    very similar players to then

    Dees average pre season form

    Port looking better than 2011

    Played in Adelaide

    Result dees by 4 points

    However zero confidence

    Watts dropped no Gysberts Grimes or Tappy.

    So will it will look something like this:

    FB: Garland - Frawley - Bartram

    HB: Rivers - Sellar - Bennell

    C: Jones - Bate - Trengove

    HF: Howe - Green - Petterd

    FF: Davey - Clark - Dunn

    R: Jamar - Moloney - Sylvia

    I: Blease - Joel Mac - McDonald - Martin - Tynan - Couch - McKenzie

    Not a weak team, and with the inclusion of Tappy, Magner, Grimes and Watts for Round 1, we are looking to have a decent team.

    Will be disappointed if we don't win by 10+ goals!

    Perhaps you should prepare for some disappointment

    Remember last game of 2011

    That is my worry Demonator.

    The players are basicaly the same.

    They have had only 3 games to totally change the way they play.

    So far they have shown me little that they can excute the new plans.

    Now I am wrapped if that happens on Friday

    but I am not expecting anymore than a close win.

    I just think we couldn't have been any lower at that stage last year and we only got pipped. I'm not saying we've all of a sudden become world beaters, but i just think 'enough' has changed for us to convincingly beat PA.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
