Bedford's out of the starting 22.

Dunstan can still yet replace Bedford as the designated sub.

 

Unless Bedford is injured (or he replaces an injured player in the 22), I reckon there is zero chance he won't be the medi sub.

It's not how goody operates.

Dunstan made the trip.  Sighted boarding bus. Possible medi-sub.

So did Melksham.

They take at least 2 emergencies on interstate trips. Might have even taken all 4 given Covid could throw us into disarray at the last minute.

Handy out I guess.

We need to focus on beating whomever they send out against us - celebrating outs is often counterproductive

I thought Hunt was very solid. Nullified Weightman and mopped up well, especially in the first half. Did his job.

The GC team is full of young blokes who are mobile. Skills fail them often, they run so much. Hunt is needed to catch them up forward to then rebound the ball for our opportunities. Bowey should handle Salem's role quite well and should be a great 'assist' in the close backline clearances. Hunt, Bowey and Smith - equally mobile and really good interceptors/defenders against this mob, I'd reckon. Dees by 50 points.

This is a bit harsh on Hunt.

He got involved, spoiling, picking up possessions, tackling, two way running. He did enough to retain his spot. 

Fully agree Hunt went ok last week.

Get off Hunties back.

I suspect M Brown doesn't make the emergencies because of the Weid...who is primarily there as an emergency should one of Gawn or Jackson not be available on game day. But if a tall forward has to be replaced, I assume Weid has that covered, too.

I'm more interested in who comes in should we need to replace a defender before the game. After all, there has been some suggestion that Smith may have a hand injury. Would Bedford come in but someone else (Brayshaw? Harmes?) play in the backline with Bedford taking on their role? 

Brayshaw will play back for sure and Bedford in.

Looking like it's going to be a wet evening in Carrara. Wouldn't be surprised if pull a late change and being Bedford back in for a tall.

  • 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.

  • 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.
