    Well according to your theory then Jeff Garlett should be in the VFL for the rest of the year.

    God I hope BenKen and Jakes inclusion reads more about keeping them hungry... I'd have Harmes ahead of BenKen (assuming tyson and kent are locks) I like BK and he can do the spectacular and has great pressure, yet drifts out of games and unfortunately his height is problematic... a la Nahas and even C.Daniel... Harmes can win his own ball in the air, but disposal is average -in my humble opinion at least.

    Why would you say Tyson and Kent "are locks"? That's a midfielder and forward to replace two defenders. Given that, I would have thought Tyson and Harmes would have the front running (assuming no other late changes). Or perhaps Spencer plays instead of Harmes if Watts goes to the backline, although I can only see this happening if there is some doubt about Gawn's fitness.

    Our depth of small forwards is finally very healthy compared to a few years ago when we had virtually SFA.

    Kennedy is hard and offers some good goal sense, he can also rove quite well and get those goals out of seemingly nothing.

    He has stiff competition for the role he has been groomed for but he's far from a 'bog ordinary' player.

    I'm intrigued by the absence of Bugg,  Had a much better JLT than Harmes imo, and was game-day emergency last week.

    Tyson and Harmes. Kent would be next pick.

    IMO, Bugg's JLT series was at his normal level, which is that of an average footballer. Harmes had a quiet JLT, but his ceiling is higher than Bugg's.

    I think Harmes will come in to play a back role. His ability overhead will be needed. 

    His kicking and decision-making may become problematic though.

    Steve he  is an ordinary player who is too short.

    At AFL level you have to be very good if you are small.

    very good he ain't.

    I'm glad you also bolded the word assume - devil is in the detail of that word - so no response required from me...

    Conversely, some posters can't identify a player with ordinary skills.

    It's OK to have an opinion on footy and communicate it Stalinyrconhome.  

    It's even the reason some of the filthy demonlanders come here.

    I have a yearly subscription, but believe you can do by shorter periods. They also have an App. Works well for the most part.

    Harmes for mine. 

    Despite all else, I like his attack on the footy and opponent.

    • 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.
