Changes v Gold Coast Suns

By my reckoning, two wins should get us into the finals but we have to win all four to get the double chance.

We certainly can’t take next week against Gold Coast lightly given what happened to us last year.

The line up was unchanged this week - can we go with the same line up again?

    Eight day break for Hogan and any other players to get over their niggles.

    NO CHANGE

    No change for me however a close look at Hogan is required.

    Hibberd ready yet? Big upgrade over Smith!

    Goodwin said in his presser not next week, maybe the week after for the swans.

    I would give Hogan a week off to rest if needed. Weids come in. 

    Otherwise no change as Hibbo, Viney and Hunt won’t be ready to return.

    I’d like to rest Hogan but we’d want to choose carefully who to bring in. Could really upset the balance if Weed comes in and just lugs around. This is no game to take easy

    Jayden Hunt? Reckon Fritsch needs a well earned rest. 

    No Fritsch is a gun and his kicking alone is needed. Hunt hasn't played any football.

    Did not go for any marks just parried the ball to ground, cant put two hands above his head. 

    Shoulder injury me thinks...

    Watched the replay and Hogan looks like he has a few issues to get over, so I would give him a rest.  He may have to miss through injury anyway with all the work he was getting done and the hobbling.

    If Hogan misses we would bring in Pedersen or Weid ..  we should manage fine with either of those guys for this game.

    Were working on his knee and groin all game. Also big hit in his back. Seemed ok above the shoulders just couldn't get any spring, so just caused a spillage as it's more reliable than going for a mark.

    Same result though. If he can't push off he's a liability. Like all players. I have him as my best F in all my fantasy leagues, and even I'm ok with him taking a week, particularly if it's soft-tissue related.

    bring in both Vanders and Pedo - targets, bodies, kickers, shakers, as we have the TEAM performing again with some being carried.

    How many times can I say given Hogan a rest?

    He's had knee, ankle and last week a hip and now another knee. Isn't jumping, isn't playing with any speed. Get him right. Play Weids or Tim Smith for the week.

    The fringe midfield/half forward brigade: Tyson, JKH, Spargo, ANB, Jeffy all did enough to keep their spots. Can't see how Vanders comes in there unless he plays a blinder.

    Joel Smith - horrible first half, but not so terrible to the extent that I'd be removing him for Josh Wagner or another fringe defender.

    Rest: Hogan

    In: Weid or Bull, both been good at VFL level, don’t think Pedo as he’s been playing as a defender the last 4 weeks

    Id want Keilty to play too but it ain’t gonna happen

    • 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?

      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.
