Think most would agree our 1st 22 looks the goods on paper, but on form we are playing like a bottom 4 side.

I'd like Goodwin to change things up a bit, firstly I'd bring Harmes into the forward line maybe even out of the goal square ( remember him kicking 3 in a Quater against the saints a couple years back) he could rotate through the middle with Trac or Clarry when they need a spell. I'd then use Jones or Lockhart in defense.

Like to know what everyone thinks? I feel Harmes was just starting to really flourish as a mid who could kick goals and we moved him back??

The other really puzzling thing is why we are not playing the Weed as a leading full forward I see him turning into a Lloyd type if we can get the best out of him. I'd play him every week ask him to lead out at the ball instead of kicking it on his head in 3 v1s

it seems to me that tomlinson is set to be our #2 ruck, especially with these shorter quarters and gawn's excellent fitness

i am very, very interested to see how the forward line works going forward with that one tall and a host of mid-sizers and small

pickett and bennell is potentially VERY exciting

Preuss?     Does anyone actually rate him, especially as our starting ruckman after Gawn leaves?

  • 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.
