The world’s worst kept secret is now almost official.

Brown is not on the AFL site’s Casey Demons team and, as stated above, Jack Bell’s name is now on the interchange list.

If Brown is out because he’s been elevated to play for Melbourne, then surely he’s replacing Tom McDonald.

A butterfly flaps it’s wings at a VAFA B Section game and it’s effect is felt at the highest level of the game!

    After the ‘downer’ against Freo, there have been a few very early signs of the re-emergence of MFCSS amongst some Demonland colleagues.  It’s a horrible ailment, and extremely contagious, but fortunately, a win against the Swans will put that to rest. Dees in a hard-fought 19 point win, to curtail an epidemic for at least another week.

    The  premiership is a great vaccination against MFCSS, but I would like a booster in late September ...

    On those rumours about TMac being out and replaced by Mitch Brown from the Casey team, I can say that one of the emergencies for Casey, Jack Bell who was selected to play for Old Haileybury in its VAFA B Section game today, didn’t take his place in the team. Could it be that he’s been called up to fill in a vacancy for the Casey Demons caused by Mitch’s elevation to the AFL Demons?

    Top shelf detective work right there.

    How do you know it's a 'regulation twisted ankle'? Or do you think it was worse than we all initially thought anyway? They only reported it as an ankle injury/soreness which leaves it pretty open.

    He seemed to tweak it a second time during the game and if it's a higher strain they can take a while to get back near 100%.

    I only thought it was regulation because he played the game out against North and didn’t seem to be in horrible pain. But hey I’m not a doctor, much to my parents’ disappointment.

    Having a crap day? Could be worse: I’m at the ‘G now and just realised I’ve lost my purse. I messaged my son to have a look for it in my bedroom. He messaged back ‘what does it look like?’ I messaged ‘fair question since I have thousands of purses in there.’ 🙄 Silence for 20 minutes. Then he messages me ‘is this it?’ and attaches a pic of a huge biscuit tin full of junk jewellery. 😑 But it gets worse, he says, ‘hey, I found these dope big jangly fake gold earrings. Can I have them?’ 😳

    Haha I hear that.

    Ankles can be tricky though, they can be one of those injuries that ends up way worse the next day or so. I did mine a million times in both footy and basketball and it would vary from being able to pay out the game after a few minutes pain to not being able to play for weeks. My experience was the higher up the strain the worse it would be, which is why i wondered if that's maybe what happened to TMac.

    Any further word on Mitch Brown?

    I like M. Brown for his Cam Pedersen like work ethic and present up form

    Gives us a different dimension to the predictable Bomb-on-Head approach of recent weeks

    Looking for big games from Jackson and BBB.

    Brown and Brown purveyors of fine ale. Trust the batch will be hatched during tonight’s match. Otherwise it will be down to Young (&) Jackson(‘s).

    It feels like it's about 30 degrees outside.  Fahrenheit, that is.

    Effing cold!!!! Bring blankets! No rain, and the VFL game showed no signs of swirling wind. Both Browns warming up. Nibbler’s already run a half marathon, Tracc kicking to Greg Stafford along the line of the centre square. Maxy just hacky-sacked the footy 8 times before losing it. Tracc just squeezed a goal 45m out on 45 degree angle! Bowser did same from boundary line, didn’t deviate, didn’t flutter, split the goals perfectly.

    JJ just landed 2 torps from the Telstra 5G logo on the 50. Both went through mid-post high. BRING BACK THE TORP!!!!!

    Hey guys!! Got some inside goss

    hearing T Mac might be late out for Brown

    cant reveal sauce!

     

    TMac out makes things tougher for sure. Also is interesting that if the Brown/Weid twosome Brown got the call up. Hate to say it but this looks like curtains for Weid at the Dees, really wanted him to come good but it just doesn’t seem to be happening. 

    As for M Brown; play your role, that’s all we ask.

    • 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?

      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.
