Out: Hibberd, Keilty, Garlett and possibly Melksham

In: Pruess, ANB, Tim Smith and unfortunately Wagner.

    Tracc was good, Brayshaw poor but got heaps of it and won't be dropped 

    Don't think we can replace Omac at this stage, so he'll stay in

    out- Keilty, Garlett, Lewis(inj), Melk(inj), Hibberd(inj)

    in-   Preuss, Anb, Smith, Baker, C.Wagner

    we're going to have to do some player shuffling to cover the likely losses of Lewis and Hibberd in defence. Fritsch and Hunt to play as defenders instead of forwards would be my move, as we don't really have much defensive stock in reserve. I want Garlett gone, but he'll probably be lucky we've had a few injuries and we wont want too many changes in 1 week, but he looks cooked to me.

    Petty’s form has been good. OMac has to go.

    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. 

    Disagree with Melksham out.

                Hale

                Pace

                Morecambe

                Wise

                B. Hill

    then we could justify calling our team a bloody joke.

    Griff Rhys Jones and Mel Smith very stiff....

    Jeffy has given great service but maybe time to say thanks for everything.

    Weid is a certainty for Perth along with Preuss.

    My guess is Tom Mac down back with the above up forward.

    Let's face it we're desperate.

    Just to put some balance in about the Casey game. Essendon were devoid of talls. Preuss had a day out and deservedly dominated. They might be on top of the ladder but Bombers VFL side have played the bottom sides.. Coburg, Frankston North ...

    Miracles do happen but hell... we'd need one to get close to the eagles in Perth

     could be wrong, but it looked like a broken foot to me.  I can't see him playing next week with that.

    The latter two - No they don't.

    He came back on. Gingerly but still. If his foot was broken he wouldn’t get back on the ground.

    Tmac said in the post match it was quite greasy out there which caused a lot of fumbles.

    I’d give him one more chance.

    Whatever happens, I’ll end up inebriated.

    • 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.
