    Will be a tough game, good to have stability.

    English stays in, Bruce brought back, Johannisen too.

    If Preuss can hold his own against Grundy last week, then I'll back him in to do the same against English.

    Bruce doesn't worry me at all, although he has that 'Kent Kinglsey' vibe about him.

    Johannisen will give them some dash, so he is the pick of their 'ins'.

    Love the fact we made no change and I think, on paper, that we should be knocking them off by 3-4 goals.

    Good selection. Looking at the emergencies, it shows me that we have a very fit list at the moment with a lot of depth. Any of those four could have been slotted in and there would be little argument.

    Crozier is also a pretty good in for them.

    That’s fine, good to test ourselves against a full strength side. To borrow a modern footy term - football audit.

    Doggies close to full strength, looking pretty solid across all lines.

    A credit to the club to have the list in such great shape after 3 months off and then all the short turnarounds 

    most teams making 3+ changes

    What was the question mark on English? Any way we can exploit it?

    I felt that Preuss held his own against Grundy (with Grundy clearly the classier player) so hopefully that may give him some confidence going into this match. 

    Settled teams are usually good teams, happy to take the same group from the Pies game. I feel like we win this week finals are well and truly in sight, and we can push further up the ladder. A loss and we’re back to the pack again, back to fighting.

    I thought he was starting to gain a little confidence over the last couple of weeks, he’s getting to more contests and bringing it to ground he just isn’t clunking marks. His hands just don’t seem to being coming up in a confident way, it’s more like he’s swatting. 

    But through his contested work we got a few goals last week, steps ahead.

    Bruce in worries me.. he kicked 4 last year when he played us and ragdolled Omac.. how will Lever go one on one.

    That's some handy ins for them. Crozier and Johannison are good inclusions also.

    Unfortunately not as confident.

    I love it!  Both teams at near full strength.  Should be a good contest and go some way towards sorting the real contenders from the pretenders.  I think we are the former!

    English likes to drift fwd to create a miss match , something to keep an eye on

    The main area exposed last week v Grundy was the pies ease at getting it out of the centre clearance, if Preuss can halve that this week we should be fine

    • 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.
