Changes v Collingwood

Forgot about Vince. Might get a week. 

If so I'd probably leave Vandenberg in. 

Out Vince, Bugg

In Brayshaw, Garlett

    Players will be dropped  in relation to our opponent - Collingwood, who are dominated by a whole pack of B grade midfielders.

    I would love Peders in for Frost, but we need Frost's height and speed as a DEFENDER to counter Moore so this change is unlikely.

    Garlett comes in for sure but I can only think of Bugg to be dropped and they play so differently it is not a good swap.

    Bernie will go for a few weeks, so Brayshaw comes back in.

    AVB has been seriously disappointing so far this season. 

    I still think we brought him back in to the seniors too soon.  I think he needed a few weeks at Casey to get rid of the cobwebs after his injury but he wasn't given the chance.  Plus it seemed as though he was going to spend plenty of time in the midfield, yet he has been stuck up forward for the majority of it.

    didnt watch the game. Did Frost play forward or back?

    Forward and pinch hitting in the ruck.

    Ok thankyou. So who played on Waite/Brown/Petrie? And how did Stretch and Wagner play? Either of them to be dropped?

    Definitely. And just as bad, he is letting my very proud and illustrious super coach team down.

    They rotated on them.  Dunn and McDonald spent most of the time on them, while I believe Lumumba spent some time on Brown as well.  I'm not totally sure on that though, others at the game might be able to give more insight.

    Stretch was handy, Wagner was just okay.  Both should keep their spots for next week.

    Vince does only clip him, so should only be a week.

    I'd suspend simply for stupidity. What a dumb thing to do. His absence will be huge against the filth.

    Vince will get 1, maybe 2 depending on how inconsistent the MRP want to be. 

    IN - Brayshaw, Garlett

    Out - Vince, Stretch (didn't do anything wrong as such, just reckon we need to give AVB more time). 

    The other thing is - I don't want to see Frost play as a forward ever again. The experiment surely needs to be marked a fail at this point. Maybe bring Pedo in, and move Frost back.

    I also don't want to see Howe play a flukey cameo and rub it in that he left, the pea heart. Presumably Lumumba gets the match up or maybe Wagner, - wouldn't be shocked if the brought Garland back to play on him (not saying i want that to happen, before all the hate is directed my way.

    If Howe gets another game after the (lack of) effort he put in on Saturday then Collingwood are in big trouble. He was a ghost.

    They won't drop him after one game especially when he is coming against his old club.

    No change

    Frost back. T.Mac forward.

    If Vince is rubbed out - ANB will replace

    I think we've seen the last of Garland.  Hallelujah! 

    Also think Jeffy is a definite in,  whilst one of ANB and Brayshaw gets a run. 

    Maybe in: Jeffy,  Brayshaw 

    Out: Vince,  Stretch

    I don't think they'll drop him either due to the circumstances, but that's because they are in big trouble. His effort was pathetic and he'd be dropped in any other team any other week.

    Are you talking about Matt Jones or Bernie Vince?

    Jones did it two or three times, Vince did it nine or ten!

    Beat me to the punch BBO. I worry a little about Frost.

    Frost, M Jones, Harmes, Kent. will be in the gun.

     

    we won't see Petracca or Trenners, ANB, Brayshaw, Garlett and Pedders should come in. I doubt weeds would come in either.

    No room for Pederson IMO. Harmes had five tackles and wouldn't be first out for me. Kent did kick four. For my money two changes is enough for a team that could have just as easily taken the points.

    Garlett in for Wagner.

    Someone in for Frost.

    Fair dinkum, dude....did you watch the game?

    Clearly Brayshaw and Jeffy are best 22. If fit they are in.

    Bugg is one out - so Garlett is first in.

    Frost for mine is the next out and Brayshaw in.

    I know that creates height / match up imbalances but [censored] that, we need those two in our best side.

    Regardless of todays outcome, given Casey Form last night I have both Weeds and Petracca in next week vs Collywobles!

    The rest I will think about after todays game!

    Looking at reports from those who actually attended the Casey game, I don't think anyone said the Weed was ready for a game yet, but you obviously know better.

    Some would ask you the same if you are saying to drop Watts.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      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.
