Whatā€™s May diagnosis? If they ruled concussion then he missed next week under concussion protocols.

    Tmac to help in the backline and Weidman out, never to be seen again.

    BBB was worst on ground. While he has credits and is obviously important, that was way below par. Mitch Brown should be under consideration.

    Bit hard if all we do is bomb it in to packs for any player to mark we do not have a park mark player time to change it up.

    Letā€™s hope so. We are a significantly worse side without him.Ā

    May will miss with concussion. At least Buddy got suspended.Ā

    Hopefully McDonald and Langdon in, at least.

    It will be very interesting to see who comes in and out. We have a lot of sore, tired players (Gawn, Petty, May, Petracca and others) and we also had a heap of our very reliable players playing poorly.Ā But you can't drop half your team.Ā 

    Surely Dunstan, Melksham and Weid go straight to Casey and used only if desperate. Rivers needs a break, he has been average at best this year and defensively our weakest link.

    Thinking that Hibbered, Salem, May, Langdon, Harmes, TMac and Smith are all out shows how

    In:Ā  Lingers, TMac, Tomo, Harmes, Salem (how far away is he?)

    Out: Milkshake, Weid, May, 2 of Hunt/Rivers/Dunstan

    Edited by JJ Haydos

    Trent Rivers not half the player he was last year, needs a spell at Casey.Ā 
    Melksham, 5 touches on a wing should never be seen at AFL level again.Ā

    Milkshake and Weid out, should not play ones again. May will miss with concussion. Petty may be doubtful, but he did play on after his injury (looked like an ankle). Dunstan is depth at best. Hopefully Langers and Harmes come in, TMac in but does he go back? If so, is it time for Van Rooyen if he hits the scoreboard at Casey tomorrow? Would like to see Hibbo in,but maybe another game at VFL, get him in for Collingwood to smack Ginnivan into the universe.Ā 

    Not Carey but van Rooyen. Brown's had it and Weideman never had it. His combination with McDonald will go a long way to us winning the flag again. Lets face it we have a great backline a great midfield but an average forward line. van Rooyen is our only hope in rectifying it.Ā

    Tomlinson for May is a certainty.

    After that depends on Petty, Petracca and Lever's fitness, and the fitness of those who we desperately need back.

    Melksham, Dunstan and Weideman should all be dropped. Who replaces them is TBD but hopefully Langdon, Harmes and McDonald are fit.

    If Langdon's not ready we can't go into the game with Spargo the starting wing.

    I'm prepared to give Brown one more game, in the hope that the delivery is better than it was tonight. And because Weideman was just as bad but with fewer credits in the bank.

    BBB has learnt the Melbourne way ( or whoever we are called at present) running up and down the fieldĀ  maybe he could stay forward a bit more and use those big levers to snag marks and leave Lever to intercept down back.

    Langdon, Harmes, McDonald come in. Tomlinson replaces May. Weideman and Melksham should never play a game again, that leaves one more out sorry Bedford it's back to the sub again. van Rooyen or Mitch.Brown should seriously be considered in replacing Ben.Brown.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... itā€™s time to discuss this weekā€™s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliverā€™s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line ā€¦ 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 clubā€™s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the clubā€™s perspective, and the teamā€™s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarksonā€™s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed ā€” 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.Ā  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?

      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.
