He had several concussion episodes in the 18 months before the brick incident, which was in 2017 preseason.

 

 On a side note, just read that Paddy McCartin has been put on the LTI list and still can't train.  Really sad for him.

 So while it is disappointing to lose Salem today I'm glad the club is being cautious, especially with his history.

Concussion symptoms come and go.  He may have been fine a few days ago but not today.

Even if he hadn't fully recovered by selection time, I reckon the club hoped he would be good by game time.

 Either way we did the right thing to wait till the last minute and to pull him out when found to not be ok. 

I hope McCartin retires. It seems negligent if someone doesnt ask him to pull the pin. 

KK one more away from retiring too surely.

Better hurry up and get to the ground folks. Only 20 minutes until the first bounce and there's only 90, 95 thousand seats left.

Looks empty. 

Minus 2 of the usuals today as I’m overseas. Still watching tho.

Bizarre. 9 days as well. Surely it wasn't just a "wait and see how you wake up oj game day"? If he was still showing symptoms after 6-7 days it's a given he isn't playing. The FD is a joke. 

Ever heard of giving a player every chance to play?

 

I was contemplating which game to go to today when I heard the news on radio changed direction and now at Willy. Weather not too bad so far considering we are taking about this ground. I thought I would gain more watching a few of the injured coming back. 

 

I’m done with Stretch.

We got away with two HTBs then. Umps might be on our side today.


What have we done to improve our clear issues this year? Because it seems we are just bringing in poor user after poor user 

How many weeks in a row do we have to watch the same Cr ap fwd 50 entries/turn overs... 


FMD they look in a different league. If they could kick it would be game over already. 

Melbourne, I understand the rationale behind this but we CANNOT play the kick-mark game. Our only hope is to move it quick, if there's turnovers doing that so be it. Rather that than a 10 second mark and long kick to the opposition

  • 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.

  • 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.
