Playing a fast side who have added Hunter Clark, we have gone slower. Hunt and Bedford must be on the nose.

    That is the most utterly disgusting team we have picked all year. The ins include slow wet wags, I like the way they drop Lockhart and don't bring in someone to play on Butler. What is going to be. Tomlinson ?????? St Kilda would be wetting themselves looking at that side.

    Hibbo will get Butler

    How do you rock up late to training and your housemate turns up on time? Especially given they cant do all that much in 'hub-land' anyway.

    O Mac's form this year has been ok and Wagner is capable enough and will provide pleanty of effort.

    Hope you’re right but this team looks very slow to me...

    We bemoan Goody for not making changes, then are gobsmacked when he brings in 6. We are a fickle bunch!

    I just cannot fathom why Lockhart has been dropped. 

    Is there something more to that?

    Absolutely flabbergasted, and that’s got nothing to do with my views on OMac and Wagner either.

    Don't mind this side at all.

    All the players that we've bought in are goers and more than capable of playing the roles required of them.

    The only real disappointment for me is that Jayden Hunt didn't get a go.  I recon he deserves another crack and is capable of kicking goals.

    Agree totally.  Looking forward to seeing Wagner in the side again.

    Hasn’t exactly brought in 6 that will improve the side though, has he?

    We wouldn't bemoan him if they were six we agreed with.

    That's the one that annoys me the most.

    The others I can some value in, especially with Oscar as the Saints like to go quite tall down forward, but Lockhart has been consistently good for the last month.  

    It's a very strange decision to say the least.

    It's like the Nuremberg trials in here for the Wagners. Give them a [censored] chance.

    Exactly.

    Needs to explain why he didn't select Dusty, Gaff and Kelly.

    Don’t think the number of changes is the problem and nobody seems to be upset about TMac or Harmes being dropped. They have been [censored] all year. 
    I am just confused by some of the changes against a fast team, after we got burnt by a fast team 6 days ago. That’s all.

    Initial reaction: Jesus, we've hit the panic button.

    Calming down a bit: not so bad. Managing sore players might be a factor.

    Fritsch stiff - he wasn't great last week, but he still took 10 marks - Brown won't give us that. Lockhart also stiff, but I think Rivers is an upgrade.

    Harmes and TMac well and truly deserve to be dropped, and Sparrow and Preuss were never going to be playing.

    • 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.
