I'm looking forward to this game. I assume BBB will be playing along with Harrison Petty. I'm particularly keen to see how JVR plays given he was a late out last week.  I don't think the side has been named as yet.

    Hope BBB is iced after two quarters.

    Why would you ice him after 2 quarters? He won't have played for 2 weeks and Melbourne don't play again until Next Saturday. The Melbourne approach beginning with Darren Burgess and continuing with Selwyn Griffith is all about playing through niggles and encouraging resilience.

    Can we safely assume that #56's nickname is "Mr."

    And #69 reads to me like he's absent without leave ("AWOL").

    As an aside, isn't it great that our Senior players wear their MFC jumper number when playing in the Casey side? It really annoyed me when they didn't .I assumed it symptomatic of the old arrangement which showed that integration between the MFC and Casey Scorpions wasn't smooth sailing.

    Still waiting to hear just why he missed last week

    Assume both Mitch Brown and Luca Goonan will miss with concussion protocols.  

    and waiting to hear about the nature of Brown's injury.  Apparently something behind play (predictably covered up by the second rate excuse for a comp, the VFL) - some have said king hit, other say ribs?

    Yes, Brown and Goonan both out and it’s all quiet as to what happened to Mitch Brown. Another out from the Round 3 side is Jake Melksham.

    It wasn't a king hit, but it was behind the play and not called for

    Has Ellison played back previously, I only remember him last year as a promising forward. If he has, has he shown much?

    Was a little bit surprised to see Howes named as an emergency for Thursdays game. Be interested to see how he goes on Saturday and if he can really put his name up in the coming weeks.

    Been quietly impressed with Laurie so far as a mid/half forward. Think he's got the ability to crack a debut sooner rather than later.

    Looking forward to watching this via the afl website. I grew up in ‘Willie’ in the sixties and Saturday afternoons were either spent with dad at the G watching Melbourne or with schoolmates following the Seagulls in the VFA. I was even part of their cheer squad at one point, complete with yellow and blue streamers. Character building - that biting cold wind off the sea and Willie always seeming to lose - but incredibly happy days when I look back.

    Certainly should be easy for a strong Demons team tomorrow.

    Yes young ‘Wuol’ best keep this swept under the rug. According to a recent report in the local rag an associate of Mac Andrew. Given an earlier ‘sniper’ draft bid at the northern AFL franchise ‘club’ academy.

    Still never heard if the bloke who was involved in the Mitch Brown incident was cited

    Which begs the question: why is Moniz-Wakefield wearing 29 for Casey? What would happen if Hunt was playing too?

    • 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.
