Casey important to success, says Roos

Paul Roos discusses the importance of Casey's ongoing good form to the senior AFL club.

Hopefully then this year we will also "buy in" to the VFL finals, unlike the past insults we have sometimes handed out to our affiliates

Good pick-up - the shift in terminology is very important here.

Wet, constant drizzle down at Geelong at present. Me thinks these conditions mean a great day for Trenners and Dunny!

By my reckoning, the following players meet the eligibility requirements:-

Lynden Dunn, Colin Garland, Jack Grimes, Liam Hulett, Jay Kennedy-Harris, Max King, Viv Michie, Alex Neal-Bullen, Ben Newton, Cameron Pedersen, Joel Smith, Jake Spencer, Dean Terlich, Jack Trengove, Sam Weideman, Mitchell White

Matt Jones will qualify if he plays against Geelong today as would Chris Dawes and Christian Salem if they play both remaining VFL games. Angus Brayshaw would qualify if he played in the VFL next week. However, given their injury issues during the year, I doubt that the last three would play VFL finals if they did qualify.

I can't make it down to the Cattery today so if any Demon fans are there, your reports during the game would be greatly appreciated.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
