    Are we allowed to forfeit and save money on airfares etc?

    The way I see it, they owe us for giving them a soft training run in the PF, keeping them fresh enough to overrun the filth in the Granny

    Keilty, Omac, Jeffy and if we are gonna call a spade a spade Tracca and Gus deserve to be dropped.

                B. Hill

    then we could justify calling our team a bloody joke.

    So Lewis will definitely miss, yes? Who played well at casey today? 

    Preuss must come back in obviously someone needs to replace hibbard. So next week we are relying on Oscar and frosty to stop Kennedy & Daring? Great.

    Keilty most likely to go for Preuss. Omac should be but who replaces him. I’d keep Garlett in. He’s getting to the right spots, he’s just fumbling at the moment. He’ll find some touch. Trac was our most dangerous forward tonight. Won most if not all one on ones when the ball is on the ground. And gus, he’ll b right.

    Out: Hibbo, Keilty, Lewis (he re injured himself in the last)

    In: Preuss, ANB, whoever played well for Casey (didn’t watch the game as was out for mother’s day)  

    I pray Melksham will be fine, but it’s a short break and a long trip so I’m not holding my breath. 

    I assume Fritsch will go back to defense to cover Hibbo. Preuss direct replacement for Keilty.

    Gus hasn’t played this bad since 2017. Deserves another week given we have players in the side who haven’t played well since 1978 and still manage to get games.

    Out: Hibberd, maybe Melk, Lewis, Garlett, Keilty. 

    In: Preuss (Keilty), T Smith (Melk), ANB (Jeff), Jordon (Hibberd), C Wagner (Lewis).

    My guess is they keep Lewis and Garlett despite the damage they must be doing to team culture with continued weak efforts.

    Simply is not going to happen, the coaching panel do not react in the same way as  supporters, and thankfully they don't

    Hibberd, Melksham and Lewis are almost certain to miss.  You would think Kielty is out in favour of Preuss as well. 

    Given West Coasts tall forwards, I wonder if we might see Petty come back in.  He was emergency today and has been playing well. 

    Given Spargo was sitting out today as an emergency as well, I suspect he comes in.  That leaves one. 

    ANB seems likely as the player with runs on the board, but I would really like to see them take a risk and give Baker a shot.  He's more risk/reward.  He can hit the scoreboard, but won't do the grinding work and assists that ANB provides.

    What you mean they don't put the beer down and dribble [censored] all over their keyboards

    Awful game, both sides trying not to lose, but we got the 4 points

    Coaches will review and make changes if necessary

    We have few players to come in, but will likely need to find replacement for Hibberd, Melksham, and Lewis at a minimum 

    We need Preuss in, obviously, but with our injuries will Keilty be dropped for him?

    I’ll guess...

    IN: Preuss, ANB, Baker, C Wagner
    OUT: Kielty, Hibberd, Melksham, Lewis

    As I recall, nobody played well in 1978 ?

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      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.
