    Weid coming 12th in leading goal kickers with 23 from just 9 games. 

    Leader at 36 and most above him have played 15 games.

    Also looks to be the only player to have kicked 7 in a game so far.

    Casey getting light on now

    familar story of top 4 finish then playing teams with 16-17 AFL listed versus our likely 10-11 qualified. 

    Good list at Casey so fingers crossed. Great to see Mitch White back.

    I had not noticed that Richmond have played one more game than us and yet we are on equal points.

    Could be a top of the ladder end to the season.

    Sandringham are 11th in the 15 team comp. With our fast reducing list of MFC talent and the need for a carry over emergency this could be a tough game.

    Richmond play Williamstown who are fifth at present so that is no walk over either.

    Remaining games for Casey are: Hawks, and Williamstown whereas Richmond's only game after this weekend is Frankston. Richmond have a 10% better percentage which will probably see them on top if Casey drop a game on the run home.

    With Oskar Baker’s injury, there are 17 MFC players remaining and available for selection in the squad tonight but once the final team is announced another 4 players go out. Then there’s the carry over emergency leaving 12 AFL listed players in the Casey team this week. 

    My tip for the four to go up are Vince, ANB, JKH and J Wagner who is the replacement for J Smith. I favour the Weid as the emergency over Pedo.

    It would appear Casey will have a distinct advantage in this game, given Sandy seem to be planning on having only 17 players on the field (given they have named no-one in one of the back pockets...!  LOL)

    KC, always appreciate your reports. What are your thoughts as to the effect of the removal of the VFL reserves on the development of players like Filipovic?

    It seems as though he may have benefited from playing a full game in the ruck in the reserves each week, rather than a few minutes here and there in the seniors.

    I'm of the view that Melbourne needs an experienced backup from Gawn, which makes it even harder to develop young rucks.

    It was interesting to read about St Kilda striking an agreement with another VFL club so that Lewis Pearce could play full games in the ruck as he was always behind either Hickey or Longer in their own VFL side.

    Agree that MFC needs an experienced back up for Max but unless that person has a second string to his bow, he isn't going to be playing much footy at the highest level. You would need to recruit a player who is prepared to play that stand in role as Jake Spencer did the last couple of years.

    Lachie Filipic has had his chances but I'm not sure that he is going to develop into an AFL player based on this year. Big men take time but he hasn't shown enough for me.

    Agree with this part. Which means you need to look for a state league ruckman or someone who's currently 3rd in line at their club, and coming to Melbourne would essentially be a promotion for them.

    Someone like Darcy Cameron or Tom Campbell would be ideal IMO.

    Yes it’s Gawn and then daylight. Weideman or Tom McDonald would ruck if Gawn was unavailable. Not ideal 

    Agree with Tom Campbell as a backup. Mature body and seemingly out of favour at Bulldogs.

    I agree that Mitch Hannan is the likely carry over emergency for the MFC. 

    Normally, I would be concerned about the low number of MFC aligned players in the team but with the likes of Corey Wagner, Lockhart, Hutchins, Munro, Machaya, Gent etc. the VFL contingent is a lot stronger than in the past and in good form. They should at least provide the extra depth for a win today.

    That said, Cam Pedersen has been an important component of the team structure to date and his presence will be missed.

    Time for Keilty to step up and show he is capable of selection. It was around this time last year he had one of his best games for that season against Sandy so fingers crossed he does the same.

    • 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.
