Daw did not look fit or like he was saving something for after the game. Bedford is knocking on the door for 1st selection. Weids is a sure thing against Richmond. Brown needs another week. Jetta needs to wait and see how our backline in the ones goes to regain selection.

    Thanks for all the reports. Great to have so many players pushing for senior selection but I hope we are cautious bringing them through. There has always been a big difference VFL to AFL but given the non-season last year for VFL, that gulf is bigger than ever.

    Was impressed with what I saw by Deakin Smith too, very lively down back.

    I thought Daw's ruck work was solid all game.

    He was very ordinary all day I thought. On form weid a must with bedford next in line. Brown/chandler also staked their claim but not sure how we could fit them in at the moment.

    He did not dominate in any way,

    and if he gets a game in the ones it would surprise me. 
     

    does Casey nominate the days best 

    I thought bowey, rosman, Bedford, Weid and brown and number 68. Gray ? 
    Bradke and VdB and chandler and I apologise for others all better

    Lockhart and Deakyn Smith were fantastic. Bowey found a good amount of the ball but was a tad sloppy. He will be a player though.

    We have some nice replacements options coming through for the aging Hibbo and Jetta.

    Thanks for the reports guys.

     

    For those that watched it what positions did Weid and BBB play.  Did Weid play full forward (out of the goal square) or did they change it up.

    TMac seems to be playing further up the ground so it probably makes sense if Weid play close to goal if he comes in.

    Mainly BB playing the deeper role.

    Weid got most from heavily contested positions.

    Great games but remember the opposition played their best but many not in the same league.

    That being said you couldn't ask much more of either of them.

    Majak may become my favourite VFL player

    Best result apart from the Demons would have to be Carlton losing at home by 1 point to Southport after leading all day.

    I watch some of the game and I was more impressed with Deakyn Smith than Bowey.

    He may be the small defender like Neville Jetta was 3 years ago.

    • 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.
