*Facepalm

You lost me as soon as you said it was on preseason form then included Hore for round 1 who is a recruit who has not even trained with the main group. How does this logic stand up?

 

Surely Natalie Portman is in the conversation if we’re talking about pre season form

You wouldn't have a team based on pre season form. I said I considered pre season form. That's why Frost, Spargo and Fritsch are in and O.Mac, Hannan and Vanders are out.

Yet you have included someone with no exposed AFL form nor even any pre-season guides to allude to... Sorry still a bit lost. 


Er apart from Hore, I have watched Viney, Brayshaw, Jetta, Harmes, Oliver, Petracca and Melksham in rehab so their pre season form has been hard to judge, although they have trained well

I think we should wait until at least the JLT games til we start to put new recruits in the best 22. I think the only exception at the moment is May. KK and Pruess probably get a look in too but the 18 years olds and ex-VFL will have to earn that spot and it's way too early to make those calls.

What about VFL form. He back to full training now anyway. I think he's the perfect replacement for Lever.

...only weakness is OMac at CHB instead of Frosty. Shame that Hannan fits as an emergency but this is the state of the list, I guess. OMac should be an emergency in our opinions, with some serious running time and practice in the Casey team for some time. 

Barring any injuries VandenBerg is a shoein and is in our best 22 IMO. The kind of player with the big body  aggressive and hits hard.

Yeah I agree with that. Even though his disposal is sometimes deplorable the rest of him makes him an important member of the team

I'm with you Werridee. Love a pre-emptive 22. My mates do them all off-season. After draft day. After trade week. They're fun.

Hore is a break in case of emergency guy. He'll come in for maybe 6 games as our KP defenders struggle or get hurt. OMac as usual is the whipping boy, but people do seem to forget the match committee absolutely love him. He played every game last year for some reason. Demonlanders should probably get on board, or at least understand he will get picked despite what they think.

I reckon you always have to earmark one, maybe two surprises in there as well. Goody loves to play a debutant round 1. Fritsch last year. Smith the year before that. I feel like with Oliver rehabbing they might get Sparrow a game, as he's physically ready.

Vandenberg's ending to the 2018 season was astonishing to me.  I didn't think he had it in him, to that level.  His impact was fantastic. And his speed, I hadn't realised.

We were finally playing like men.... and opposition did not know what to make of us.  Some sure  got out of our way in a hurry.

 

Watch out for the Cat-attack re-Match...   Selwood and coach Johnson have a plan for us... pencil it in.

Yeah I was thinking that, but he’s been double teamed by 2 rucks a fair few times and been alright

  • 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 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.
