Realistically, we will probably only see one change:

In:  Hogan

Out:  Pedersen

That's not a knock on Pedersen, but if Hogan is right to go then he plays.  I reckon Weideman will probably get at least one more week in the seniors.

    Even if we'd lost, no way Weeds gets dropped on that performance.

    Every kick of Weideman was a goal. No other player in the history of the AFL/VFL can boast that!

    Why not?  It's not a negative thread.

    I just can't understand why people want to all of a sudden start talking about which players will be going out, five seconds after the players who did play brought us probably the best win we've had in 15 years.

    They have to keep play Weideman for the remaining games. Have to get matches into him

    No change. I don't care if Hogan is fit.

    After a performance like that it is hard to see any change that was not injury related.

    Honestly after a win like that how could you tap anyone on the shoulder and tell them they are out. The boys played as a complete unit, roll with no change.

    Hogan can wait another week.

    Garlett still is a concern. Does very little weeks on end.

    You have my vote chook.

    JKH got 4 goals for Casey and NB had 36 possessions. Surely both could be considered (or Salem)?

    Garlett is badly out of form. Harmes stays in by the skin of his teeth, love his endeavour but God he butchers the ball more often than not.

    I really like this in principle.

    The reality after listening to Roos' presser is that if Hogan is fit, he will come in. It's a matter of who will make way.

    Was he playing on Breust today? If so, mixed bag of a game. Broke an important tackle at half forward to set up one of our goals early in the game, then made some really poor mistakes later,

    IN: HOGAN

    OUT: GARLETT

    Garlett's too one dimensional if he's not kicking goals he does nothing, he needs to show some form in the VFL. Pedersen should stay but I'm worried we may be too tall having Watts, Hogan, Weideman and Pedersen in the same forward line.

  • Quote

    Pederson gives us heaps. Every time he comes him he adds another dimension and unlike Hogan doesn't just look for frees . Hogan will come good, but atm,  I would keep going with the current lineup.

    Barring injury, I reckon that will be it.

    In: Hogan, JKH

    Out: Garlett, Pedersen

    Pedo would be very stiff in this case. He would be out for team balance alone.

    Garlett would be back in the magoos to get some form. I reckon we need to take a look at JKH for a couple of games to see if he is worth persisting with.

  • Quote

    garlett is definitely out of form, but still have the most i50s of anyone in the side - even when he's having a poor run, he's still obviously trying even if he's not able to impact.

    • 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.
