    I was at the Captain's Run this morning. Not only did Trac train, he looked completely unimpeded, ran at full pace and looked sharp. He did every drill and there was no sign of any limp. From what I saw in the first 30 minutes there is no way in the world he is not playing.

    No bring Sparrow in and give him a go.
    Can always make changes during the game.

    PLEASE this incessant fantasy with Tmac on the wing is ridiculous.

    Its almost getting fans thinking of ways to change the team structure to get him there.

    In case any one is under the delusion that we could move a Tmac full time to the wing and succeed they do  not understand the logic of team balance or placing players in their best positions.

    Yes a player can be moved during a game and Tmac performed that role vs North in Hobart and played on the backline in place of Tommo. Great result and he could be a Harry McKay opponent at some stage on Sunday  with Petty being moved to CHF.

    Our forward line needs Tmac at his best as he kicks straight is mobile and is a team player above all else. He's playing  just fine and when it's Not broke don't try and fix it.

    For those in the "Tommy for Wing" club yes he played about 5 mins a game starting  there to get him mobile fir his forward starring role in 2018. Far different than wanting him to line up there and run all day. The team needs pace on the wing and I am perfectly happy with Angus performing that role until say Fraser Rosman or one if the other players earns a game in that position.

    Leave Tommy be the leader of our forward line and his work  ethic and Bulk plus clunk marking are proving priceless to our improvement and form in 2021.

     

     

    And I'd move Hudson to CHB and Barassi into the back pocket.

    Based on last weeks match ups Carlton are going to be looking at some significant disadvantages down back. 

    Weideman should get Plowman, who he'll have a serious advantage over,     Fritsch should get Stocker, who he should be too good in the air for   and Saad will either have to sacrifice his running game to mind Kozzie, or Kozzie could get on the end of a few. he's way too good to be as unaccountable as Saad can be. 

    Spargo and Melksham are both very smart as well and will make Docherty defend

    In...Dees win

    Out.. dogs winning form and a loss to port

    And eight point break for us.

    I want us and the doggies to win... to open up a gap on 3rd place. 1st or 2nd is no advsntage either way, while 3rd loses home ground 1st week.

    Sounds like a rumour started by the Carlton nuffies over at SEN to stir things up. They were having a segment called “sure thing” or something on Bob and Andy’s show and they reckon there is nothing more sure than Carlton winning. They talk a bunch of dribble, amongst some good content. 

    Collingwood lost again. If Melbourne beat Carlton its pretty much curtains for Coll ,Ess and Carlton for 2021. The media will be distraught. They'll have nothing to babble about except Eddie .

    Collingwood are already Curtin's, weather we win or lose to Carlton, any team who loses to Collingwood will not play finals

    Its possible (unlikely) Dees could be undefeated leading up to the Collingwood game. That could be the game we lose.We wont make the finals?

    I reckon Chandler will be an in for Melksham who'll be dropped and used as a medical sub.

    Definitely think the inclusion of Weideman calls for another ground level player.

    Sneaky chance for Chandler in for Melksham I reckon. We lose a bit of mongrel with Weid in for Jacko, so think we may look to balance it out with another genuine small instead of a midsized player like Melk.

    I'm available on a part time basis for any selectors reading


    I cant believe Goody actually dropped Milkshake. I thought that was impossible. 

    WOW

    PS: I think its a good call, super excited to see what Chandler can do re: pressure and we get the weed!

    Big fan, got some good speed at the feet of the 3 talls.

    • 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.
