Can you play Magner against the Suns lightning midfield?

Now THAT would be tanking.

Now there's an idea

    That should help if we put any one of those in the midfield, not.

    If he promotes Rodan to the mid field it will confirm to me that he's in the wrong business, this guy is past it and it smacks of trying to justify his drafting in the first place.

    Round 1 in Rodan

    Round 2 out Rodan

    Round 3 in Rodan

    Round 4 out Rodan

    Round 5 in Rodan

    Round 6 out Rodan

    Round 7 in Rodan

    And Neeld doesn't have issues. can't believe McLardy is letting this play out.

    If he could kick he'd already be in the side as a regular.

    Then why does Tom McDonald get a game?

    It's also called selecting players around the opposition line-up, and Rodan is at the very least, solid-bodied.

    No s#$t Brian, he was suspended for 3 weeks, does that mean MFC add an extra week themselves from now on does it?

    Yes it does - he was showing aggresion and thats clearly not part of our 'gameplan' ............ jk

    As 'Alex' (A Clockwork Orange) might have said Bluey: "A bit of the old in-out".

    It's pretty silly, that's for sure.

    Hey Neeldy! Ever heard of giving a player a run at it?

    Then why does Tom McDonald get a game?

    Because he can defend like nobody's business.

    Good point mate, lets hope the club works hard to lock Rodan into a long term contract going forward.

    Maybe Pederson and Sellar while we're going? sorry couldn't help myself :)

    An extra 2 or 3 weeks it seems - Casey have a bye this week, so Jetta won't get any game time this week...then he'll have to come back through Casey to get some match fitness...

    What is with your need to add insult to EVERY post? Grow up ffs.

  • Quote

    Jetta's suspension is up, right? Disappointing he isn't playing, I think he brings a lot of effort and hardness to the team.

    That is one sh*t line up.

    Where is poor Fitzpatrick? Kid works his butt off and still no game?

    I'm surprised by the Fitzpatrick decision. If the side is going to look pi## weak, at least have it look that way because of a couple of players having their first run in the ones.

    I'd have thought Taggert would have been pressing also. Maybe next week.

    As in having to make the trip west to come back incredibly dispirited.

    you'll notice that the insults only go to the ridiculous, unreasonable club-bashing/anti-Neeld posts

    somebody has to say something

  • Quote

    We should know a little more about the coaching abilities after this game. Cant see too may excuses available. This is a game we should win.

    Definitely sick of hearing that from Neeld. It is a weak excuse in my eyes.

    The South Park gif needs to become the unofficial D'Land logo.

    Seriously. It pretty much sums up everything I love and hate about this forum. It could be placed on the 3rd page of any open thread and adequately reflect the state of the dialogue.

    It's so genius it even made me smile right after looking at that incredibly uninspiring team.

    Have to keep a couple eggs in the basket for a rainy day (like last week)

    I think no matter the result Neeld was always going to talk about how inexperienced we were compared tp Carlton - the additions of Kent, Strauss etc. seemed to be something for Neeld to lean on in the case of a flogging

    It's a shame Young Dee, this will be a very exciting day for the club, Skipper Jones leading the team onto the ground for the first time, would have been great for supporters to see some young players in Fitzy and Tynan running onto the MCG as well, a changing of the guard, but Neeldy has beefed the team up with Rodan and Stellar, huge opportunity missed, very disappointed in the club, can not see the point, self preservation maybe.

    Jesus. Imagine if your career rested on James Sellar?

    Bluey's got a point, would much rather see a Fitzpatrick, Toumpas, Tynan, Blease etc under a new skipper I think to a certain extent is their spiritual leader, rather than reeling off Rodan, Brynes, Davey etc....its the young kids that would so much confidence from beating a team thats their peers. IMO this weeks in's are a real dissappointment except for Dawes inclusion.

    Opportunity missed.

    agreed ... time for the new blood to be given 5-6 games on the trot.

    • 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.
