So [censored] [censored] off Joel Smith is potentially going to miss this game due to our medical or coaching staff leaving him out there for the rest of the game only to aggravate it even more.

I would be absolutely filthy if i was Joel  [censored] poor management.

    Hard to fathom that they put his start to the season in jeopardy in a practice match.

    I know we were down on numbers but still...

    It did seem a poor decision, but let's not pretend Joel Smith is an irreplaceable player.  He's far from that.

    I wouldn't have Smith starting even if he were fit. Our forward line would be too tall with tmac, weideman, petracca already down there. We need to be able to retain the ball in our forward line rather than see it rebound straight out.

    Would love to see him in the midfield, showed some dash against Brisbane in the JLT.

    Hunt also up forward please.

    Does anyone know if Vanders trained? He had scans the other day according to reports.

    He is tall but he has great closing speed, provides pretty good defensive pressure and is pretty handy below his knees. I don't think he would be left out for the reasons you list. That being said he is a little too inconsistent still and could not be considered a certain starter regardless of his groin.

    So if Goody wanted a third tall, who would it be? Both Smiths injured, Preuss injured. Max will play 90% ruck. Keilty?

    Light duties don't worry me.  

    I do think this is a reflection of the late start to pre-season and the plethora of surgeries over the off season.  We might start a little slowly, but I still expect us to roll Port at the 'G.  Geelong at whatever the hell it's called stadium is a tougher prospect.

    Petracca and Melksham are good contested players and good overhead.  

    If he really wanted a third tall he could play Fritsch forward.

    We have enough versatlity to cover a player of Smith's standing.

    I’d throw Joel smith in the ruck for center bounces and the odd ball up (he’ll get monstered at boundary throw ins). He can use his leap to full advantage and leave Tmac and Weid forward.  

    He can still be the third tall this way.

    Said the session went for 1hr, these are called flush sessions, no idea why

    Believe they got hammered on Friday,  so maybe just a leg turnover

     

    Not bothered who was there or not, will see Wednesday

    Would be surprised if he made it as a forward.   Would like it to work though.

    We can all obviously save ourselves a fortune on medical diagnosis etc., just run whatever ails you past the experts on Demonland.

    I really hope this unsubstantiated rumour is wrong but there is talk that vanders has a hot spot in his foot and that he could miss eight plus weeks.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    • PREGAME: Collingwood

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
