No news on Petty is good news? 

Well we can sit with baited breadth until the casey game this evenng coz we probably won't have the chance to see the sides before then.

 

It wouldn't surprise me to see Vanders back playing for Ainslie next year. I think this is the last year of his three year deal with us and his body just doesn't seem to be able to stand up to the rigours of AFL football any more unfortunately which is a shame.

Mitch Brown not playing for Casey. Mystery injury?

I can't see him on any lists but I'm pretty sure Mitch Brown was injured at training after the Hawthorn game. Might be on one of Burgo's updates for that week.

 

Watching the game last night, did anyone else's ears [censored] up when, during one of the quarter breaks, one commentator stated that Harmes was having his first game back following his skateboard injury? 

Back after the round one game, the MFC stated the following:

"JAMES Harmes will miss the next six weeks of footy after injuring his wrist during Melbourne’s Round 1 win against Fremantle.

The midfielder sustained a knock just after half time on Saturday afternoon, but managed to play out the game without too much concern.

Harmes then had an x-ray, which showed nothing untoward, with only an MRI later confirming a crack in his scaphoid. He will be sidelined until at least Round 7".

I wonder which story is correct?

EDIT - my bad -just reheard what Ben Dixon said at 3/4 time. He said "scaphoid" injury, not "skateboard" injury. I'm having my ears tested today.

Vanders has played 47 games in 6 years. 19 games in the last 4 years. Injuries have really hurt his potential as a tough skilled half forward-mid.  But I remain hopeful that this year, he might be valuable come the second half of the year.  He definitely brings higher physical edge to the team when he’s in the team.

Cats got a massive advantage last year with the shorter quarters and hardly traveling in the second part of the fixture.

And having one of the biggest home ground advantages for eons.

Jack Viney hotspot in foot. 2-3 weeks.

Just announced on Fox Footy..

Hopefully scans show it’s not an ACL. 

Likely to be out even if cleared of major damage. 

Who replace him? How do we set up our back 6?

Shocking.

Looks bad given his distress.

Petty is probably next in.

McDonald is playing 3rd tall it looks.  Tomlinson out - Weiderman in

Tomlinson out Petty gets a chance

Weid for Benny Who replaces Viney?

Edited by Kent

Petty is next in line. He should come in otherwise whats the point having him on the list

 

Not quite but shades of 2004 with the injuries hitting us as we reach the top.

Any more news on Brown?

Smith down at VFL level is not good either.

  • 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.
