Strange. He was named on Thursday. Saty reported that he trained lightly today.

Maybe this knee injury is what has been holding him back?

the Ox said he's been carrying this for weeks and hence why he'll be rested

 

I can't fathom how Bail gets a game.

if I thought the same about Bail alone I'd be very happy. Unfortunately when I look through the list there's a few more than Bail

Barrett is a complete f-wit.

Jack Watts has played 100+ more AFL games than you Damien and would most likely be a far better journalist you pole smoking cretin.

wouldnt pizz on Barrett if he was on fire.

Fu#kwit of the highest order.

 

Geez

Tyson and Salem out now

Our injury list is brutal

It's a good thing our captain is as durable as he is.

I hope you were knocking on wood when you wrote that comment!

At least the Doggies were nice enough to leave Jack MacRae as emergency

 

Yeah that 1 goal loss in the dying moments last season was a complete blow out...

I'm referring to our record in the past 10 years, we've won once in the past 10 games.

The way Tyson has been playing don't think it will be a big loss tbh.

Probably be better for him to miss and try and get right.

Our depth is worse. Yes we can say those injured are "best 22" but Tyson, Viney, Salem, JKH, Kent , Frost , Petracca, they're all kids. Then Jetta then Dawes who is currently in a hole.

The thought did cross my mind but I've never been the superstitious type.

I reckon we'll be up and about on Sunday.

Reckon we've been prepping for this game for a couple of weeks

Hogan (rested) and Watts (enjoying his footy again).

Easy week on the track.

Visit from the Reverend.

All intended to get us over and freshened up after the "top teams patch"...

Should come out firing.

I dont see how Fitzy and Spencer can both play, we already have Pedo as forward/back up ruck

The team looks way too top heavy against a fast running side.....


Should come out firing.

We "should" have done a lot of things the next week after a belting but didn't.

Hope u r right Paul but I doubt it.

I think we will too, but we can't become the next Richmond. And by that I mean 1st qtr specialists. Top clubs don't have the luxury of picking which games they want to "get up for" they come prepared every week.

Bail as sub I guess. Makes some sort of sense. Leave the young players at Casey where they can have some wins. Bring on one of our best runners late even if his skills are dreadful.

Toumpas and Riley on the bench. 1 inside mid, 1 outside runner.

Fitzy down back will be interesting. Probably takes Cordy or Boyd. Frees up Dunn and Garland to stop the Dogs midfield options.

I'm not sure if Fitzy will or should 2nd ruck or if they'll leave that to Pedersen. I'd be inclined to leave Fitzy in the back 7 alongside McDonald, Dunn, Garland, Grimes, Lumumba and probably Howe.


Barrett is go get f#@/#ed

Wouldn't you just love to slap his stupid little glasses off his stupid little face?

What a diquehead. Accused Watts of chickening out of playing the Hawks.

As did posters on these forums.

MacRae is in the doghouse a bit over his defensive pressure. They want every player pulling their weight defensively. It's why Minson still can't get a game.

  • 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.
