After his start to this year, no way.

He will be playing Saturday night, unless a mystery injury, but then he wouldn't be playing for Casey either.

I think he was referring to Tom Sparrow

    Hearing Weid not in.

    If fit, surely May Fritsch and Weideman.

    Cannot go into Sat nights game with same forward line as last week.

    We'd be mauled.

    If Weids or TMac  is a bust replace him with BBrown in R7 ..Melb have options.

    Really hope Weideman plays to be honest. He’s the future up forward for us along with Jacko

    That would be amazing after 7 goals for Casey and M. Brown not training and injured.

    Think you are wrong. 

    I don't

    Red, he wasn’t at the Captain’s Run, and my understanding is that he’ll be playing at the Punt Road end of Yarra Park tomorrow.

    Perhaps, but maybe he was with the group today as backup for Fritsch, and Fritsch has come through today’s run?

    Think there's a few wires getting crossed. I believe people are talking about Tom Sparrow.

    There's photos of TMac and Lever with their kids at training today, looks like TMac trained.

    I’m going BBB over Weideman at this stage.

    I do see room for them both at some stage.

    Brown is a  proven gun forward. Weid is a kid with potential who time to shine has arrived. Only one of them has a question mark over them. BBB gets the nod for me.

    Is there any info from training? There does not seem to have been any training threads for weeks.

    Its hard to know which are training days now that the season has started.

     

    Anyone know when/where training/captain's run are?

    It's such a nice change for the Dees to be playing for the "now" and not the future.

    I am guessing Weideman would have been in if Fritsch didn't come up. 

    Going for the team that have got us to 5-0. Fair enough too.

    We are very settled. The Dogs are 5-0 and they made 6 changes

    You seem pretty sure of yourself. Will keep this in mind when the teams are announced. My opinion is the weed will play and Fritsch won't.

    Yoko has runs on the board in this department...

    Coaches have long memories.

    The last time North won anything that saw them on the front page it was probably their Rnd 11, 2019 sterling win by 6 goals against the 'about to be dual premiers', the Tiges.

    BB kicked 5 big ones.

    Incredible, and most changes are omissions

    Would have been interesting hearing the chat between coaches and Weid.

    I reckon they would have been telling him since day one, we need you to dominate a game in the VFL.

    He finally does it and gets told it's not enough right now.

    I would say that melksham and jones know they are under the pump to play well. 
    T Mac is in the same boat. 
    LJ less so as he plays ruck and I do it think the club wants weed or brown in the ruck. although weed could possibly play LJs role, just not with as much athleticism 

    LJ is starting to hold his own in the ruck, even winning a few contests now.  Is also very handy at ground level competing well.

    I could be wrong (a regular thing!) but i can't see how he would be anywhere near the 'Ins / Outs' radar or discussion at this stage.

    Totally agree and I love what LJ is doing. I am not advocating he be dropped at all, I was more looking at how we would get weed and brown in the side, and I was saying if LJ was injured, that weed could play his role.

    Very much off topic but North are in WA which may very well be in lockdown shortly.

    Guess who plays North next week?

    Sounds like it will be a 3 day lockdown. I suggest North will travel straight down to Tassie from WA and our game should go ahead as scheduled. 

    Also [censored] Covid and the endless [censored] coming out of these returned travellers and these quarantine hotels. 18 months later and we still can't get it right.

    I suspect not.

    He's played 7 quarters of competitive football coming back from a significant layoff.  

    Their conversations would have been about managing him, getting his body right and getting him back out there with a few games under his belt.

    Do they have direct flights? I always thought they had to fly back to Melbs then to Tassie.

     

    Also I know i say it every week but this is ridiculous to wait for the teams to come out, Friday and Sat should be released on Thursday at a min and Sunday games on a Friday.

    Would suggest it's more about if the Freo Roos game even goes ahead and how that then impacts the next round of games.

    • 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.
