We finally start to get on a roll and lose all our rucks.  We are the Shakespearean tragedy that never ends.

Agreed. I thought we were gonna be okay like richmond. Its a crying shame

Great reporting as usual from ToM bRoWnE there.

Preuss injury diagnosis: "looked annoyed coming off".

    I would have no qualms playing all three of Spargo , Pickett and Bedford together.

    Have a look at how many small forwards the Tigers roll out each week and their last few years.   They are the blueprint.

    Exactly. It's almost a case of the more the merrier. 

    We've designed a game plan that relies heavily on genuine small forwards and yet we have very few on our list. 

    I'd love to see us with two talls (Weid, Jacko/TMac), one mid-sized (Hannan/Fritsch) and the rest as smalls.

    I'd also love to see us target another 1-2 small forwards in the off-season.

    I hope not.  @DeeSpencer claims Jordan Sweet is the modern day version of Dean Cox, Jim Stynes and Aaron Sandilands.  It's a wonder why he hasn't been given a run earlier.

    Thanks. Didn’t realise that. 

    he’d be a big chance to come in  His pace, pressure and intensity are needed 

    Sorry wasn't Hannan omitted then got ill any way?

    Yeah well Bradtke is a cross between Michael Jordan and Martina Navratilova.

    It was posted on Saturday so he's referring to this week's game against the Bulldogs.

    Is his injury being annoyed?

    If so i have the same injury 20 times day with my two kids and our shared learning and work space!

    This is the problem with big Braydon, for a man built like Goliath he seems to break down constantly...hope its not too bad

    What is our collective diagnosis?

    An earlier twitter post by Ayrton Woolley:

    Scans later today for Braydon Preuss. A “tweak” of hip/groin according to club. Not ruled out just yet, but he didn’t look happy.
    Dees positive on Gawn progress after big running session. @9NewsMelb
     
    Doesn't sound like it is wrist slashing time!
    If nothing else it will keep bulldogs guessing.

    Yep. That's an oversight on my part but I'd prefer that our long-term setup only has one medium/makeshift forward (Hannan/Fristch/Melky etc ) and more pressure/crumbing forwards.

    If Bradtke was fit I'd debut him. I say that never even seeing him play. But based on the fact that we have no one to ruck and Gawn needs a rest not to be rushed back.

    • 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.
