A mate is on the same flight as the players and said he could not see Maxy. His word was surprisingly given how easy he should be to spot.

    Given recent footballing history and the dearth of opportunities for some teams in comparison to others (and MFC does suffer in that dearth), including several other AFL-related issues that now seem endemic, it is not too ridiculous after the games this week to reconsider team mergers. The MFC, Footiscry and the Ranga-Tangers may well make such a solid merger with an emphasis on more lasting competitiveness and endeavour. It appears dead in the water as an item fait accompli, it is extremely unlikely, it is also very appealing to consider such a 3-way aggregation, just the same.

    Fingers crossed he is at home putting his feet up for a well earned extra week off Clint.   Big P can handle the ruck duties for this dead rubber.  Good experience for the followers to see how they go at connecting with his tap work, and visa versa, outside of training and for the coaches to monitor this (and his) progress at AFL level.

    Did he check first class?

    or at least the exit rows??   ?

    Your mates need to talk to each other and get their stories straight. It's very unfair of them to mislead us so.

    16 injuries. 

    Tom Sparrow ready for next week. !!

    surely romance warranted Lockhart selection as he deserves promotion and is a Tassie boy. Opportunity missed to get some local tassie support. He gives a truckload more than the little Spargo boy imo. 

    At least 10 of those are certain best 22, and another 3 would push for selection. 

    Add to that injuries being carried by Lever and Gawn, plus the fact that another handful of the selected players who would normally be in the best 22 had virtually no preseason, it's not a surprise how we are performing.

    He still might fly down but not actually play.

    Cannot work out the point in playing him if he has a suspect hammy for one of the biggest dead rubbers in the club's history.

    Sadly they do not know each other, despite Hobart being a 'small place' in many minds.

    • 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.
