Mitch Brown coming in off a 4 day break just won't happen, another  non performance from the tall will see him in for the Lions.

He won't play at Casey next week if this the case on Friday Night, they'll hold him over till friday week.

I tend to agree so IN :SALEM OUT: JETTA

    Interesting that Lockhart and Baker were in the best.

    Always wondered if Lockhart gets an extended go at AFL level whether he can make it. Has pace, courage, can mark the ball and is a neat kick.

    Yep, it would be sensible to rotate Bedford, ANB and Kossie. I like ANB (sometimes), but can be very inconsistent and Kossie as an early career player will undoubtedly need the rest soon.

    I'd add Chandler to that mix, too.

    I know he looked out of his depth a little against Carlton but he has shown enough at the lower level to suggest it's only a bit of belief that is required.

    Then you have 5 players in that role - Spargo, ANB, Kozzy, Bedford and Chandler - plus a few mids that can do it as well e.g Viney and Sparrow.

    We need to make sure that group is fresh every week because our game plan is highly reliant on those tackles sticking and it was evident against Adelaide that those boys were tired. 

    It's not a running issue - they were gut running. The final part of the pressure puzzle just wasn't to the usual standard.

    Any chance they could try Jake Bowey on a wing or forward flank, his delivery i50 would be handy

    Locky has all the attributes of a back pocket and IMO should mind Weightman on Friday night.

    He was cruelly discarded about 2/3 of the way into 2020 by Goody. It seemed they any error he made was totally against his selection.

    Niw that he had be played a really good game ( and regained fitness) he should be given the chance instead of Lord  Nev who is sadly not fast enough.

    If Goody had played Locky all year in 2020 he would have had another few games and be really ready for the AFL now.

    We need a smaller player with speed  as all the mediums and talls flew last week and resulted in a goal out the  back. 
     

    Hibbo May get the call up for Bont minding but has he the full tank?

    We need to look at our list and not keep going back to Melky  and Nev and give younger players a chance that will  improve our speed and run!

    This will mean  they are ready for Finals  type pressure as injuries and form can dictate selection st any time.

    Give Locky a go and I was disappointed Chandler ( yes he was not great vs Blues ) but needed at least another match to be fair. 
     

    We need to pick a running side because if we don't we will be too slow chasing the Dogs!!

    It was definitely peculiar that Lockhart had played quite a bit then just disappeared and never seemed to be in contention again.

    Agree with you totally on Lockhart ..he has class speed and passion-goes 150% all the time.. Also agree on the need to bring more players through for the experience rather than waiting till later in the year if injuries occur. They need games under their belt. I would include Crawford and Daw in this too.

    Ill conclude with this ....

    " If we do not succeed, we run the risk of failure and failure without risk is not sustainable or attainable" PF 

    Picket the perfect antidote after crowgate!  Your insightful and entertaining prose painted the rural idyll of the  Fields of Casey magnificently. 
    We almost had visions of Geoffrey and Leigh-Anne flying in pre-bounce in a pink helicopter!

    Admittedly we are still contemplating your allusions to Swanettes and Slitheras. Advisedly keep out of the long grass!

    Found your pen portraits of the listed MFC most insightful. Would be good for some of those lads to get a call up to AFL level and perform well.

    Still processing your homespun philosophy overall a top read cheers!

    He seems to be coming along very nicely. He looks set in that back half role.

    I think our forward half pressure players are doing well because they're all fit with mature bodies that can stick those tackles, so I wouldn't be adding him to that mix.

    The wing could work, though.

    We’ve checked this out and KC is correct. Munro kicked three goals. 

    Watch the all the goals replay. Grey kicks a goal.

    • 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.
