No change. We are going too well to make changes, Gillard has replaced Colvin.

    I’ve been liking Gillard but I think Colvin is still more trustworthy at the contest mostly when the ball is on the deck.

    I also think it’s time for Shell Scott to have a rest. Maybe a freshen up does her good. Fitzsimon back in. 

    Depending on the opposition and ground and various other factors we could move Sheriff to the wing, Heath back and rotate the mids forward more. But they are options.

    The only change is for Zanks to untuck her jumper.... it just looks wrong with the high waist shorts and logo elastic band...

    Might just be the change she needs to get back to her absolute best

    Agree re Scot - she looks old and a bit slow, although still hard at the contest. Since the game is being played at Fremantle, it will be fast and tough, just as the freo/crows game was this week. We will need to be on our game to win, it is fast and furious over there. This week’s game in Perth was the best AFLW game l have seen and at a very high standard, not something you can always say about AFLW. It should suit our style, but we will need to bring our best.

    Posted this in the VFLW thread:

    Megan Fitzsimon had 19 disposals, 5 clearances, 3 marks and a goal yesterday in VFLW.  Freo are quick so good runners, able tacklers and players with neat skills will be all important next week.  Hope she gets a recall.

    @DeeSpencer agree with you that it’s time for Scott to have rest this week.  Gillard is going well and seems more poised with ball in hand vs Gaby, who is more frenzied and unpredictable.  

    Lampard worries me.  She has a good kicking action but her passes don’t always end up with a teammate.  Gay took some kick-outs yesterday so Mick may seen this too.  Also Casey Sheriff appeared hestitant at times yesterday and wonder if this was due to her recent concussion.  Next week will be a grind at Freo, very physical so hope she is ok.

    I would be very tempted to bring Colvin back in. Also Scott has looked tired and out of pace all season.

    I also would like to see FItzsimon back in the team. No issue with a young player getting dropped back to VFL level to spend more time on the ground, but I think she is best 21 at this point. Either Parry or Scott can come out.

    I have been impressed by Colvin this year, and would also bring her in depending on the height in the Fremantle forward line.

    Let's not get ahead of ourselves here - we are finding a way to win games against good sides, but we are still a fair way off the level needed to beat Adelaide.

    Nice inclusions, Gaby Colvin and Megan Fitzsimon.  We will give it a crack tomorrow!

    Parry dropped! I'm shocked

    Good to see Fitzsimon back in. Gillard hasn't done anything wrong but Colvin experience will be needed as the defence will be under the pump against Freo

    Thought this would have read like - Meggs likes the ins this week.

    If we lose, Parry was clearly the glue holding it all together, we just couldn't see it.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
