    The 3 outs with covid could be Bedford, Jackson and Oliver?

    All live in the one household and this purely going off Bedford's instagram..

    Both Clarry and Bedford were in the training photo's put up on the website just now. I think Trac, Spargo and Kossie all live together (or did last year) - none of them are in the photo's?

    Neither is Dogga, JJ, Gus, Kozzy or Sparrow. So pretty unsure how we figure it out 😂

     

    Jacko confirmed out (according to Mitch Cleary), and apparently no Kozzy or Trac at training.

    Update - Scratch that, Trac was there.

    Trac was at AAMI today 


    Sam Edmund live on SEN now - 

    • Did not divulge names but suggested he was pretty sure he knew who they were.
    • When asked how significant the players were responded it was "1 or 2 best 22 and next generation stars"

     

    LJ plus one other young gun plus a player outside the current 22 is best bet at the moment.

    Is anyone else all of a sudden excited about this weekend!? 

    This has gone from cousins-wedding-in-country type indifference to cannot bloody wait!!

    Classic MFC fan revisionism of BB. He was fantastic at North and has been, and currently is, the best tall forward we have.

    I said footy not tall forward...I reckon you are correct about BBB.

    I used to hate him at North..big fan now

    If they win this one will any [censored] from elsewhere say that they haven't beaten anyone important?

     


    This post probably won't age well, but here's a crack anyway:

    In - Lever, Viney, T Mac

    Out- Jackson, Kozzie, Smith.

    Hopefully nobody else tests positive in the meantime.

    I do not know what all the talk is about Dunstan suffering Concussion. ?  He never did according to the MFC and in fact came back on the ground after the incident. Even the MFC www site never mentions the word "concussion"

    Add to the Demons woes at the selection table is the fact now that Hibbo is available but I tend to agree with you.

    IN: Viney and Lever

    OUT: Dunstan (unlucky) and Smith ( gave away two goals which is a No No...)

    Looks like Dunstan stays David given it is looking like Clarry might have gotten the bug

    Edit:  scrap that....aside from Dogga it could be anyone else at this point ie; hopefully not Clarry!

    If Jackson is out would we bring in another ruckman?  Hawks aren't that tall and Max should take care of their rookie uckman on his own with only a little help from friends.

    Maybe we bring in Melksham for Jackson and Bedford for Kozzie (if Kozzie is in iso).

    Jackson is confirmed out.

    Surely T Mac just comes in for him and Gawn shoulders almost all of the ruck work.

    Viney likely to not play again this week.

    Just a rumour that was passed on second hand.

    I was suggesting we go in with one ruckman.

    The only ruck Hawks have is Lynch who is a rookie.  McElvoy and Ceglar both out injured.

    And while TMc does some ruck work he isn't a CB tap or clearance type ruckman so not sure he could play the Jackson role.

    I think they should give Majak a go.

    Weideman is a very good forward ruck.

    TMac to come back

    T-Mac used to handle a bit of ruck work, mostly forward of course.  Probably takes the odd one now but he's mostly covered off by one of Dogga or Gawn and is a rare go to of late

    But with Dogga out?  I would say they will still go with the Weid as a pinch hitting (read put body next to opposing ruckman, contest but no we aren't expecting you to ever win a tap to advantage) ruck up forward.

    Anyway all speculation until we have confirmation of who has the bloody lurgy.


    Football world: No one is close to challenging Melbourne this season!!

    CoVID: Hold my beer...

    With 15-35mm rain forecast for Melbourne on Saturday, it wouldn't surprise me in the least that if a tall player misses (eg, Jackson) he's replaced with a smaller player. 

     

    So Dunstan gets another shot....unless of course he also got....

    I reckon Dazzle and a few others here might need to get down to training tomorrow

    • 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.
