Awesome INs this week.

They all have pace to burn...

I still think there is a spot for Bernie though!

    Goodwin must have read demonland and finally came to his senses of playing Garlett and Spargo in the same team with our inside 50s.

    Better Ins this week. Let's see how the balance looks with more pace and smalls in the team to provide pressure.

    Best selections for a while.   Exactly what we have been calling for on here.

    Two small crumbers, some speed, and an outside mid who can spread.

    Will be pleasantly surprised if Jeffy gets a run.  So many logical reasons to do this...but they...its footy

    Be VERY intrigued if they DO play both Spargo AND Jeffy..have been want ting to see this just about all year..Just have a gut feeling theyd work well of of each other and wouldnt trip over each other either. Frost seems a beyond  "about time"inclusion

    I await official team sheet with more interest than I thought Id have this week...tttt

    Jeffy when on song is a terrific small forward. He has surely done his penance and is at his best on the big AFL stage not at some VFL sideshow.

    God I hope Frost isn't playing forward. 

    Doubt it... he'll be doing Petty's job ...or rather..playing down back ?

    Hard to argue with the outs, like for like position-wise, except we've exchanged a tall + small forward for two smalls.

    Tyson done? Would be a shame, he has some abilities.

    Paul Roos questioned the selection of the team of late... 

    He hinted the selection committee didn’t know what they were doing. I agreed!

    I see a common theme in the inclusions...

    Might they play Jeffy deep...and Spargo high ?

    Height not so important in conditions..speed and endurance is.

    I don't mind this team...as such

    From a personal perspective pretty disappointed Dec didn’t get in this week, at least he is an emergency though. I understand why the chose who they did, hopefully it’s s good game.

    Yes! Jeffy AND Spargo in the same team. 

    Great job Goody. 

    Stretch makes more sense than Tyson. 

    Unfortunately for Dom he is our 5th or 6th best inside mid and cannot play on the out side to save himself. 

    Frost in was a must.

    Good selections overall.  I think we needed to go a little smaller, especially in Darwin with the slippery conditions, but I think it makes us a more balanced side.

    Interestingly, Frost has been named at FF.  Will he actually play there is another thing, but they might be using him as the pinch hitter in the ruck this week.

    His time will come.

    Aren't we forgetting that Garlett has been very underwhelming in the magoos? What happened to rewarding form at VFL level?

    Inconsistent selection choices yet again imo

    Somebody give Frosty Tony Campbell's super sticky footy mitts! He may be frosty but he is no lover of the pre-frost precursor dew.

    Agree BUT....He had 7 tackles, maybe that is what they were looking for, forward pressure not necessarily disposals?

    • 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.
