Out -  May, Melksham. Jetta

In -  Petty, Bedford, Hibberd

 

Sparrow, Jordon, Jones, Spargo could easily be dropped too.

Edited by Pickett2Jackson

May is potential out so maybe hibbo or petty in for him

otherwise keep the team as is

    How did Brown go yesterday?

    Otherwise Petty for May seems likely.

    May would have to be very doubtful under concussion protocols.

    I also wonder whether they reckon this game is when BBB gets a run

    It's a winning team so -     Interesting times!

     

     

    Out: May, Melksham, Jetta
    In….: Petty, Brown, Hibberd

    Hey mate, we won and we’re 4-0. It’s not a dream, I know it’s hard to believe. There’s no way there was 6 droppable players.

    Out: May

    Spargo was great. A 200IQ footballer.

    Broken eye socket, Uncle Bitters. He’s definitely gone for a few weeks.

    Think we may go small next week -

    Out: May, Jordon
    In: Hibberd, Sparrow (as a starter)

    Doubt Melk gets dropped but understand the calls for him to go

    Sparrow only played 17% less game time than Jordon, somehow.

    Out - may jordon 

    In - petty brown 

    jordon a bit stiff after a solid first 3 games but was barely sighted today, if brown isn’t ready then jordon stays, melksham seemed to attend a fair few centre bounces which pushed jordon out.

     

    tmac to play as the lead up chf which suits him and brown and fritsch to play deeper.

    Jackson floating between ruck and forward and Gawn to float behind the ball and help out the backline with Mays absence

    Yes, what happened to Jordon today? Unsighted, but he only played 56% game time. Injured?

    I'm sure some people just look at the stats sheet when this thread comes each week.

    The pressure that the likes of Spargo, Jordon, Sparrow, etc put on the oppostion is the difference between last year and this year.

    Why would you change that? Continuity is a good thing.

    Out: May, Jetta, Jordan (rest)

    In: Petty, Brown, Hibberd

    Sparrow stays sub.

    "Melksham to Brown...?!" sounds like the cry of an overwrought commentator. Sweet. 

    May and Nev out. Petty and Hibbo in.

    May out 
    sideshow in

    move Tmac back.

     

    Melksham buh-bye. In: Sparrow

    May (if inj) out - Petty in.

    Jordon looked a tad quiet - if tired maybe rotate him out for Chandler?

    Spargo's not going anywhere, he's been fantastic this year.

    Absolutely a brainy player. Sets up opportunities and tackles like a  trojan. I expect him to play all year. Beautiful foil for kossie.

    They used Jordon on a wing against Blicavs after Gus went down back, but ended up preferring Jones and then had a full midfield rotation with Sparrow.

    Melksham wasn’t good but I still think until Brown or Weid come in we need a proper forward more than extra mids.

    I think it will be 2 out of 3 of Melk, Sparrow and Jordon with the 3rd the sub.

    Petty or Hibberd depending on conditions and opponents to replace May. 

     

    Doubt this will happen but would like Melky out, Sparrow in.

    May to be replaced by Petty or Hibbo depending on matchups.

    • 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.
