Still no Preuss. 

Unbelievable. 

Quite a few very lucky players I reckon.

why recruit a bloke  build up his image, then not play him. Strange!

i watched the first three quarters last week And just got more despondent the more the game went. Just kept coming out of the centre in the third and they got goals! 

Can anyone who watched tell me what the matchup or position changes caused us to start playing with purpose in the forth 

can we play with those positions to start the game this week !!

Go Dees but I am still despondent!

I’m honestly stunned as to what the FD see in smith over the Weid. He’s played 2 vfl games and dominated in both of them. 

hasn't exactly "dominated" but they were okay

The absence of Preuss amazes me ... should be included if only to relieve Max in the bathroom heat of Darwin

Still one Spargo FFS, he was pathetic!

Yeah well ASTOUNDING!

Speaking to a great mate of mine who played almost 200 games many in the red and blue, he said he had never ever seen a small man so lacking in Pace, and Skill for a small man ! This from a VFL /AFL player who should know!

Astounding!

Not to mention  sticking with Smith over Weeds
Pft season done but suffice to say lets get some integrity in selection!

Baffling!

I’m trying to do the same for Brisbane game..... 

I do hope Weid is a late in due to an injury for 1 of the 3 named on the bench. Will be our most balanced looking fwd line all season.

Mitch Hannan apparently on board to darwin and so is salem 

I reckon hannan is one of the important players we have been missing this year. 

I think he's in our best 22 and great when firing, but he isn't a consistent performer yet and i recall him being dropped at least two times last year. The oft remarked piece of cliche/wisdom is a players stocks grow more rapidly when they're out injured.

Salem, Hannan and Hibberd all bring much needed experience back into our side. The Hannan selection to me is smart, get him and straight into AFL fitness.

Was it really that simple, did they rest anyone in the centre ?

A rookie on our list who some peanuts have already written off.

+414 games experienc net... amazing to think Petty, Lockhart and Wagner total only 11. Hopefully going to get some much needed leadership and direction.

Petty medial strain, was limping durin 4th Qrt and reported after. He didn't train

Lockhart is a mystery

We can rule out leather poisoning 

Why does Lever look like he just got out of a prisoner of war camp? Puny, pale, unwell-looking. His arms and legs look wasted. Why hasn’t he been in the gym building up his physique in the 12 months he’s been injured/in rehab?

Crows with Gibbs,  Lynch and Jenkins in.... Lynch is a big in,  hopefully underdone 

We should get their fitness guy, Lynch only misses a week with a hamstring???

Three really good additions.  Hopefully they add some experience, polish and skill in their three respective roles.  We  might see up to 11 changes from round 8-9 to round 12-13.

Michael’s son

I'm not one usually to get too discombobulated about selections but i'm bamboozled by Spargo getting a gig ahead of JKH. Flummoxed even.

Was an emergency after struggling at VFL level, gets a late call up and puts in a stinker.

Maybe genetics? Dustin Fletcher was never a beefcake

  • 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.
