Take a deep breath   policy, wasn't feeling quite  right, so session over, 3 days before game

Told him to limp for cameras

It's not a good policy as it's been proven a few times this year that players have tried to play through injuries and made it worse.

    Yep.

    No Viney or Oliver doesn't bode well.

    I just try not to worry over things I have zero control over.  What's the point ?

    Time for Jones and Lewis to rise up a notch and take leadership back. Oliver has been carrying this team, and should he not play, those two have to step up.

    Hunt looked good

    But I can't see rushing him back given he was dropped before injury

    Intersting tho with Casey bye this week

    Kent and AvB looked good too. CJ Peds trained with backs also

    Can someone please confirm whether Casey plays more games than it has byes in a full season?

    Apparently he's been outstanding as a key defender for Casey the last few weeks.

    Do we bring him in to take a Walker, Jenkins or Lynch?

     

    Didn't Vince play on (and smash) Lynch last time we played them?

    I suspect Clarry will play, but if not, surely we have to look at Vander. He outdoor be one week ahead of expected return. We could use a grunt mid to replace Clary.

    Vanders looked really fit today

    Not sure if that means anything, I'd probably look fit if I spent 2 years in the pool/gym

    From the coach:

     

    And Hogan probably getting treatment for his knock. Harmes, would anybody train 2 days after getting their hand operated on?

    The Footy Gods are really playing mind games with us Dess atm, what other curve balls does they have up their sleeves?

    I reckon Clarry just wants a lie down and a massage.  Good to mess with the Crows heads.  they will be planning around Clarry so this will throw them into a spin

    Doedee would be a big out.  he is their intercept defender and important structurally

    if people get bad news, sometimes they like to emote in order to deal with the news.  then they move on.  if you don't that's cool but other like to

    What's wrong with Hogan? Perhaps the reason he's been a bit off of late? Did he sustain an injury Sat night, I didn't see it.

    Copped a knee in the back/hip in 3rd quarter. Played out the game with a limp. Commentators said when it happened that it was the kind of knock that was going to hurt afterwards. Doubt it would have been enough not to play on the weekend. Not that I know.

    I think the club should take a no risk approach with Oliver, Harmes and possibly Hogan. Its not the end of the world if we lose this week. Beat the Suns, get all the guns back for Sydney and try to win 2 of the last 3. That gets us a final.

    Was ill yesterday and today but will train later in the week and play Saturday night.

    Also, Harmes will be given to the last minute on game day.

    Hopefully just resting up that knee in the back he copped.

    Although, given Hogan's track record in crunch games...... 

    Yeah not the first time he's done similar. Oliver much more the one I worry about. Even if only underdone.

    Good news, singular, but good. A big body to challenge the brainless one (Tex).

    Vanders - an inspirational return awaits. Pedo - an inspiration return awaits. Frosty - an inspirational return has occurred. Some things are good and I suspect Clarrie is really just fine - he'd train but he needs little of the skills drills, this week. Wagner may be useful this week with mobility and height.

    Has to come in for Joel IMO and takes Tex.  O-Mac to Jenkins.  Frost to Lynch

    • 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.
