I might have missed something obvious, but I didn't see Melksham last Saturday night for the Williamstown game - anyone know what his status was/is?

    Christian Salem is firmly in the 426 category. It is his 2nd week with that outlook for return.

    In fairness he was 6-8 a couple of weeks ago

    I haven't seen anything mentioned. If he had been injured you would assumed he would have been mentioned in the injury list. It is possible that he had to pull out for health and safety protocols ie: might have been a close contact or non-confirmed close contact and as a precaution had to isolate and therefore pull out of the match.

    He's been missing for quite a while now.....

    Was an emergency for the GC game though, so not sure what is going on there

    uh-oh, the 426 is our very own Twilight Zone.

    Injury & Suspension List: Round 5

    Mitch Brown - Concussion Protocols | Available 
    Joel Smith - H & S Protocols | Available 
    Ben Brown - Suspension | 1 week
    Michael Hibberd - Calf | 2 weeks
    Daniel Turner - Foot | 3-5 weeks
    Christian Salem - Knee | 4-6 weeks

    So now Mitch Brown IS concussion ….. I wonder what caused that?  Nothing from the VFL judiciary? We’re there low flying seagulls, or maybe martians there?

    Jake Lever reporting that he’s okay after rolling his ankle (twice) on Saturday night. As long as he looks after it, he should be right to go next week with the 8 day break.

    Some concerns however, at Casey level. Blake Howes not selected and the rumour is Blake Howes (“stress fracture”?).

    Majak Daw kicked 2 goals before coming off the ground and failing to re-appear. This is a concern because he’s really our only proper back up ruckman in the event of injury to our two ruck talls in the ones. 

    Commentator on the afl site also mentioned that Dunstan was off getting his leg iced late in the game.

    Losing Daw early just two weeks after Mitch Brown was felled behind play is a concern, especially after the manhandling of Ben Brown last week.

    Do any Casey watchers know what Daw's injury was?

    The Melbourne website has an article here which states -

    “Majak Daw looked to be continuing his form following a best on ground display last week, kicking two first quarter goals, both from free kicks.

    “But his day was cut short after quarter time, meaning the Demons had to adapt to overcome the spirited Lions”.

    No explanation as to why his day was “cut short”.

    Looks like he will miss a decent chunk of the season, unlucky for the young fella.

    Was gonna say that's quite an abrupt ending to that phase of the article.

    I may be labelled a conspiracy theorist, but Daw and M Brown's "mystery injuries" rate no comment from VFL.  Nothing really changed since the old VFA thuggery days.

    None of us know why Daw had to go off so it's a bit premature to assume it was due to anything untoward.

    It would be nice to find out the reason he was unable to return after quarter time.

    Dr Laura Lallenec, the club doctor has reported on the weekend’s injuries and there’s nothing in her report about Daw. 

    However, Blake Howes has undergone surgery for a navicular stress fracture. Unfortunately, this type of injury can be season ending.

    Injury List: Round 6

    Michael Hibberd - Calf | 1 week
    Daniel Turner - Foot | 3-4 weeks
    Christian Salem - Knee | 4-5 weeks
    Blake Howes - Foot | TBC

    I wonder if the injury to Howes is enough for him to be put him on the long term injury list?

    There’s talk of a few young talented players emerging in the ranks who could be worth looking at in the mid season draft. We would probably have the last pick but it might be worthwhile exploring whether there’s a player out there to fit our needs eg. a genuine young ruck prospect to nurture for the day when Max retires or if Luke Jackson gets homesick.

    Cards just an example of the BS that injury reports are. I take them all with a large grain of salt. When I see a player selected to play I know that it is 95% correct.

    Read @Webbercomments re injury reports/management (we’re lucky to have his input)… every person/injury/outcome is different, just roll with it bro.

    • 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.
