CHANGES: Rd 03 vs Essendon

WERRIDEE
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

I think Essendon are forced to play a few kids this week which could be why Howes may be under consideration.  But I'd say it would be incredibly unlikely.  1st year players would have to knock down the door  to break into the side.  I've heard positive things about all our draftees from last year but nothing to suggest any of them will get a look in for the first half of the season (unless we have significant injuries).

    White Diamond for me BBO and we had a boot bloke to nail the stops in.

    And the umps inspection before the game in the rooms to make sure there were no nails sticking out that may result in nasty tetanus laden gashes on lovely soft pink skin.  Not likely to apply to BBO whose skin was already coarse.

    Yes, I remember that ritual Ernie.

    Also we had to pay ( I think 50 cents) for the pleasure of playing. Insurance.

    Through to the keeper, bowled Shane,  and bowled Uncle.

    Anyone know where we trained today? From the training gallery it looks like we had a run at  Port Melbourne’s home ground.

    Thanks Dof, just curious why we didn’t spend much time at Casey this week. Earlier in the week I’m sure I saw us having a run on one of the rugby fields at AAMI. 

     

    Well you'd think if there was a Blake Howes debut we would have heard by now..

    Yeah you’d expect one of those calling mum and dad videos or the boys getting around him at Training after Goody informs them prior to or after the session. 

    Maybe they'll show him calling them in tears after he debuts as sub and doesn't get on the ground....?

    Maybe something to do with a light week on the track, after a tough road trip and only a 6 day break.

    • 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.
