    Turner and Weid both named which is interesting. dropping Hunt with Ginnivan and Elliot as there smalls is also interesting.,

    Hunt dropped seems harsh. No idea why Weideman is in unless we are planning to drop Mitch Brown. 
    Turner likely debuts if Petty isn’t right to go. 
     

    I am still so mad that May isn’t there thanks to his utter stupidity.

    Turner plays  imo.

    The rest I was wrong about apparently

    Hope Petty is right to go.
    Even without May and Tmac that team is still good enough to win.

    No chance a kid debuts as medical sub.

    I like Hunt, last few weeks have been a bit poor but he's not alone there. Couple of brain-fades last week seemingly cost him.

    Think he is still capable of playing good footy when everyone fit and firing, just last few weeks the backline been impacted by injuries and Lever being a bit out of sort.

    Agree Jaded, Hunt unlucky IMO….there’s more than a couple that have struggled the past fortnight.

    Fair enough... not sure how these things work hence the other way round bit

    Hmmmm. I dunno. I feel like our backline players have taken a fair bit of blame over recent weeks for issues at stoppage and forward of the ball. 

    To be fair it probably feels this way because we’ve got no forwards ready to go, as frustrating as that is.

    You'd see it nearly every week if you had a look.

    For example, Jackson Archer has been listed on the extended bench at North on a few occasions this year without making the final team.  He's been named again this week on the extended bench with (new) beside his name.

    Surely Hibbo in to get Degoey? I agree that Hunt is unlucky given he's been solid prior to the last 2 weeks.

    I wonder why Toby Bedford isn't in the extended bench?? I reckon there's a chance Chandler will play for one of the Browns - the forward line needs a shakeup and adding in an extra small pressure could be exactly what we need.

    That side look good on paper hopefully not much changes between now and Saturday.!!!

    Fair comment.

    Swans 8 goals from turnovers last week, Demons none, we get 3 which isn’t a lot and we win! Not scoring from turnovers isn’t really backline, more mids & forwards.

    Week before backline under siege!

    Handy to drop 2 and still be a game on top. Let’s stop the rot this week with a win. Haven’t got a great record vs Pies recently but a different team with McCrae as coach!

    Edit: I guess it suggests Petty will go down to the line re fitness.

    Piggy for Hunt is likely to be the only change I think. Disco looks like he must be close to stepping up which will be great for our backline options.

    Just keep Tomlinson out of side. I would prefer a newbie like Turner instead.

    • 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.
