He is a big out but they've got plenty more to replace him.

    They can just choose from their plethora of first round picks to replace him. Won't have the same impact, but is easily cover-able by them compared to the rest of the comp.

    Exactly. They have insane depth and talent.

    Still reaping the rewards of the ridiculous concessions the AFL game them.  Sad part is they haven't even peaked yet.

    Most talented midfield in the league. They’ve got plenty of coverage available for him, though he’s a gun.

    GWS Giants

    PLAYER INJURY ESTIMATED RETURN

     Tommy Sheridan   Calf  3-4 weeks
     Tim Taranto   Shoulder  4-5 months
     Callan Ward   Knee  4-6 weeks
    Updated: Tuesday, March 3

    Early prognosis

    Taranto will have reconstructive surgery this week and won't be seen until at least July in a massive blow for the Giants. Ward will miss probably the first month of the home and away season as he makes his way back from his ACL, while Sheridan's troublesome calf issues continue to hobble him. - Adam Curley

    Means one of Green, Ash, Hateley, Caldwell etc will get a game. Ridiculous depth.

    GWS are my tip for the flag. Nothing crazy about that.  We have two very tough games to start 2020. We could be 0-2 but don’t panic if we are. Eagles and Giants will probably be top 4 this year.

    Early prognosis

    All eyes will be on star defender Williams ahead of the Geelong clash, after he missed the Marsh Community Series. He's been training and should be fit to play, the Giants will just need to decide if he needs some more work on the track to make sure he's ready for full games at match intensity. - Adam Curley

    • 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.
