With four matches to go for the Casey Demons, it’s still mathematically possible for Casey to feature in the finals. Much will depend on how many MFC listed players are available.

    Glad about Buxton Whales being omitted. Watched him a few times this season and he does a couple of good things but then just switches off and puts in no effort. Doesnt chase, doesnt move. Big guy like him should be able to do more. He just looks lazy out there at times.

    Spargo, Hannan and Maynard all out, not sure why the reasons given none were mentioned in any injury reports, but could they have been given the same treatment as OMac and sent away for special fitness training? Both Hannan and Spargo have looked to lose a bit of their spark from last year so maybe their trying to find that before the seasons done so they can work on hitting the preseason at full tilt?

    the Sandringham/mfc relationship was not a great one. Should we have stayed around and worked on it... who knows. IIRC we were one of the first shared teams and it was purely a cost saving exercise. Strangely enough the old MFC reserves team were reasonably successful but it never really seemed to flow through to the senior team

    The VFL is struggling and becoming increasingly irrelevant. Enjoy it while you can is my thought.

    Spargo and Hannan not playing is symptomatic in the sense that teams are looking at fitness regimes other than match practice to re-invigorate players.

    I am talking VFA days when the Mighty Zebras were a proud club in their own right

    The AFL had no right to kill off the VFA, but they did it any way

    Didn't Spargo just have a rest, shortly after the mid season break? Now he is AWOL again.

    Our management of Hannan this year has been absolutely putrid.

    Good to see Melksham and Stretch back .

    He was suspended for a week recently - was that the one?

    Heading down to this game, does anyone know what the parking situation is?

    What do you think the main problem with Spargo's game is?

  • Quote

    Spargo's biggest problem is that he has been developed poorly.  He should have played 3 or 4 games last year then gone back to Casey to develop & hone his craft not played 15 odd games its really the Club's fault.

    Also not sure he has the weapons to be a small fwd - I reckon he should go to the mid field to hone his skills.

    Not sure why he hasn’t been given a chance in the midfield.

    Changing the dynamic of the midfield can be a handy tactic if used correctly.

    No.4 one of my favs.  Dug the handball off the ground to Bailey for the winning goal in the only premiership I've witnessed (aside from plenty of other clubs ?) In 87 vs Eseendrug.

    Run down from behind (with ball in hand...i think) at the G one arvo and king hit from behind by one of the dirtiest players I've seen play the game.  Pretty sure he returned in the second half with little impact.  Something that would never happen today.  He was out cold.  A bit like me after after half time at most games.

    Giles used to regularly kick 8-10 goals a game down at The Beach Oval. Both ends of the ground. 

    He was a gun full forward

    yes the ‘87 Night Flag. Doug Heywood Commentary

    Can't really blame the AFL for this one, well not in the way you are talking.

    The VFA was a dead duck as soon as the AFL started playing Sunday games, probably on the way out before that in reality.

    The VFA was no competition and many of the clubs were insolvent. If anything the AFL/VFL have helped keep a few of the old clubs like Port & Willy alive, but really it's only a matter of time before they fold or move into some local competition...

    • 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?

      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.
