    Disagree. Let's just get 4 points and move on.

    Surely Lever will miss, he looked very sore. Apart from that, I think we pick almost the best team we can. Percentage will be important.

    Lever out 

    Tomlinson in

    Lever is buggered. He was on the bench popping pain killers like candy. Never a better time to rest him.

    If Lever can play, even if he's a bit sore, he should. We need him to get back in the groove and get some continuity, he's had a real in/out season so far.

    It was a corky that was the most concern today though right?

    I did notice that the boot was off the right foot at half time though... I'm assuming that was the one that he had the plantar fasciitis issue?

    I don't want to be cocky. Respect the opposition and all that. But let's be frank, we should take a mini-bye over the next two weeks. Lever looks like he can barely walk. Lingers copped an absolute beating. The Cats always managed their best players through a season. Plus, we could blood some new players and get them used to our system at top level. Be honest with them and let them know they're just getting a taste and to keep pushing. Clarry has played 120 consecutive games and Trac about 90. Max and Langdon have missed maybe one game in the last few seasons. Also, watching footy is getting pretty boring. Some new players would be fun. 

    Ins: Rosman, van Rooyen ,Laurie. 

    Outs: whoever could do with a rest. 

    Eagles and Norf over the next two weeks

    Potential to be danger games - beware their desperation

    Rest Lever, mindful of covid protocols

    8 points and move right on....

    Nah last contest of the game he was again heavily limping after jumping up to defend and landing on his feet. He is definitely suffering. 
    I sit right by the bench and he was in serious pain. He was limping so badly. I worry that if we keep pushing him he will break. 
    But I’m not a doctor and happy to be corrected.

    Also, does anyone know if it's Van Rooyen or van Rooyen? And what to use starting a sentence. I don't know the custom for Zimbabwe. @WalkingCivilWar?

    We rest players for a very easy interstate plane trip when they have a bleed the quad

    Lever and Jordan might need a rest, not sure what Jordon did but he was on one leg for most of the last quarter, he rolled in a contest and took a little to get back up.

    If anybody suggests dropping JJ I’ll box their ears.

    He might need it, he rolled in a contest at the start of the last quarter and was on one leg for the rest of the game. They did keep him out there though, so I'm not sure how bad of an injury it is?

    • 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.
