Surprising to hear, good luck young man. I’m guessing Spargo out.

    Very surprising. Either he is banging the door down (after only 15 days? unlikely), or he is doing the 1%'s and someone selected last week isn't.

    p.s - or of course injury.

    My guess would be Corey Wagner.

    interesting that he is not mentioned in club article whereas 5 others are mentioned as being in the mix

    Interested to see what the changes are.  ANB is probably higher up the pecking order, so to me, one of Sparrow, Spargo or Corey Wagner goes.  Did Sparrow do enough to keep his spot?  I thought he and Wagner were okay on the weekend and probably had a little more impact than Spargo, who didn't lay a tackle at all against Port.

    May will come in for probably Frost, KK may come in as well for someone like Hore, leaving one of the small forwards vulnerable for Lockhart.

    Oh, and congrats to Jay if he does get picked.  Amazing achievement!

    If this is true then I suspect he comes in for Spargo. No tackles, lacks speed and at times seems to just follow the packs about 10 yards behind and makes no impact. Spell at Casey will do him good, get his confidence back and push again for seniors.

    Wouldn't count out him playing down back as well.  Cats have Dahlhaus, Myers, Ablett, Atkins and Parfitt all rolling through their forward fifty and they were playing a lot of 2 tall four small last week with Gary Rohan and Danger mixed in.  Lockhart may come in to do a job down back, maybe try and go with Atkins, Myers and Dahlhaus if Jetta and Hibberd are occupied with Ablett and Danger.  Could be In: May, Lockhart Out: Frost Hore if they decide KK needs another week.

    Could also play as forward to of course.

    Yep, fair point.  Outside of Hawkins and Ratugolea, they are rather small down there, although you would call Danger a mid size forward.  Bringing in extra support down there wouldn't hurt.

    2 weeks ago not on a list and now playing against Geelong in the AFL - WOW!

    if he can play small pressure fwd it makes sense, otherwise I'm not sure what we are doing.

    JKH and Jeffy must be so dirty that they got last minute injuries.  cruel game

    Showed tremendous improvement as the year  elapsed at Casey last year, you could see he had ability and still more upside, wrapt for Jay

    This would have to be one of the biggest surprise selections of all time.

    Amazing that he is fit enough to step into AFL football after a week!

  • Quote

    Am I right in thinking that he is a defender? What position did he play in last week during the practice game? Also, good luck to Jay in his debut.

    Was bitterly disappointed when we didn't draft him, went away and came back to Casey in amazing shape, has been standout at Casey pre seson training and was duly rewarded

    As long he is match fit and has a crack for four quarters, I am okay with this selection given the lack of competition for spots at present. Good luck Jay.

    Doubt they'd be playing both Ablett and Danger in the forward line at the same time.  Danger might be down there, but he's probably following the ball from the midfield rather than starting forward next to GAJ.

    Based on last week Gaz played almost always forward, Danger rested at full forward at times. I'm pretty sure they did overlap. Gaz really played as a traditional half forward flanker. Will be interesting to see if they send Nev to Ablett and therefore drag Jetta up around the ground or if Nev stays deeper and they task someone else with the role on Gaz.

    Kelly, Parfitt, Selwood (rotating to a wing), Danger seemed to do the bulk of the centre square minutes.

    So then  KK probably isnt coming in, would be odd to bring in two half backs.

    KK will rotate with Lockhart through the wing.....

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
