Harmes to the midfield makes us a better team. As soon as he’s fit again we’ll go backwards

    Big statements. 
     

    Wanna try backing them up with why you think this?

    Not sure about that chook, I reckon under Burgess we tend to report longer term injuries as 4-5 week proposition, it comes across a bit more precise.

    The Rugby player will be no loss. Just chuck Harmes in the midfield

    Not ideal considering Brayshaw is also behind the eight ball this pre season. Ah well I guess Harmes and possibly Sparrow or Jordan might get a run in the middle.

    and when you promised to leave Demonland forever when Salem got us up over the Bombers after the siren, you should have stuck to it

    I respect and admire Jack immensely but we are over stocked with inside mids and I don’t think he’s the best of them. His disposal is hardly line breaking and he can’t play in any other position. Harmes offers greater run, is equal at putting others out of the game and I believe he’s more versatile.

    Given the Trengove experience I wouldn't mind if we kept him out of all running drills for 12 weeks .

    Keep him on the bike and swimming for cardio and let him wrestle bears for upper body conditioning.

    There is no reason to compare injuries when they are vastly different.  Viney seems to a minor issue and there is no reason to think otherwise unless advised.  The club won’t come out and say it’s minor if they think it a major issue, particularly with Burgo in charge

    Great opportunity for Sparrow to really step up now.

    While the prior plantar fascia injury was to his right foot I hope we are really careful with this injury to his left foot.  His left is his kicking foot and as he has no 'right side' an early return risks his effectiveness on the field. 

    I'm not fussed if he misses some early games, we have plenty of coverage which we didn't have 3-4 years ago.  Better that he is 100%.

    It's a worry for sure given his history but at least its an area where we have good depth. Harmes or Jordan to step into the breach perhaps!

    Sparrow ahead of both of those two for a Viney interchange for mine.

    It does make you wonder why you’d give him a 200 year contract considering our plentiful supply of inside mids. Harmes, Bradshaw, Oliver, Sparrow, Jordan. Do we actually even need him?

    I tend to agree there is much more space around the ball without him even though I love his toughness

    Unfortunately as usual we have given him a long contract coz he "bleeds red and blue"

    I've no preference. whoever shows the most in pre-season should get the spot.

    Viney has got to be the weirdest choice for forum whipping boy in the history of Demonland.

    Foot injuries are always concerning; we've had plenty and I can't remember a single one turning out to be minor.

    It's interesting to watch replays some time after matches. I watched the GWS replay the other night. Viney was far better than I remembered. Melksham was deplorable. Kozzie buzzed in and out, but missed so many gettable shots. Weideman was very poor.

    Oh no....Casey the new Goschs. :)

    Wishing him a speedy recovery, we’re a better team with Jack in it.

    • 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?

      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.
