I think it is neck and neck between Hunt and Bowey for the HBF. Hunt is more experienced and so exciting when he gets running and breaking the lines, particularly in combination with Langers, but Bowey is so cool and so precise and his delivery. If Hunt works with Choco over the preseason and improves his disposal, he would get the nod from me.

Hunty will never displace Bowey. Bowey has him covered in all footy skills and smarts.

I like Hunty but he Hibberd and possibly Joel Smith are HB flankers or Back Pocket along with Tommo who is really a key position player a la Petty and Daniel Turner.

But all are in the mix plus our new recruit Judd McVee for HB. 

Some are interchangeable but we really need only 3 talls as we don't get the ball on the ground from some sides.

Bowey, Salo and Rivers are our best 3 HB flankers at the moment. IMO they are the 3 best footballers ie have more ability than the others.

Same as Maysie, Rick ( Lever) are a step ahead of the others like Tommo Petty and Joel Smith as key defenders but gee not by that much on this year. 

Hibbo has the ability but is nearing his career end but his spot in the best 23 is still his to lose IMO.

Gee it's hard to pick our best 23 and as one poster said our Casey team might well beat some AFL teams!!

One small point , reckon Baker should start on wing as he is a winger with Taj on bench as he will rotate with JJ, Laurie and any other midfielders. Realise Taj has played other roles in WA like HB but see him as his best spot to develop is on the ball.

Lets give these new players plenty of time to develop as thats the right they and the Club have early with our best 23 plus our extremely specific targeting of players for all positions.

Can't wait for 2022.

  • 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.
