This should be a slaughter the undefeated Casey V the bottom of the ladder with 1 win Northern.

Possible team

C: Howes, Dunstan, Woewodin

HF: Chandler, van Rooyen, Laurie

F: Moniz-Wakefield, M.Brown, Bedford 

FOLL: Bell, White, Munro

IC: McVee, Buntine, Ellison, Grey, Valentine

  • Demonland changed the title to CASEY: Rd 19 vs Northern Bullants
 

Wow WERRIDEE that is some side you have posted.!!!

Yes strong team.

Unavailable: Daw retired.  Injured- Tmcd Dsmith Rosman BBB

I think Hunt will be sub this week. Bedford needs the run to find some form again. 

 

Hopefully all the emergencies (including the sub - depending on use) get back in time for this game. Otherwise they'll miss 2 weeks of footy, with the bye the week after. I'd be guessing we'll be taking at least the 4 emergencies. 

I don't think anyone will be flying back from Perth for the Casey game.

The first Virgin flight leaves Perth at 6:00 am arriving 11.35.

Casey starts at 1.05 pm at Casey.

So even if things went clockwork..too tight. Peter Hudson not there so no helicopter.!!!

There is a Jetstar flight leaving at 1:40 am, but I doubt if they would use that ?


I’m looking at the Casey team and it shows we probably need to identify a young ruck, key forward and another quality mid/onballer in the draft period.
Depending on the Jackson situation, if he goes then we’d need to grab a mature bodied ruck/key forward. 

I thought there was a suggestion that J.Smith was going to play forward . Another breakdown from playing defence whether it be via Casey or Demons he will end up getting de listed.

Steven May said Last night that J Smith will play forward this week for Casey

JVR could be one of the “flying” emergencies this week (??) 

You could be right. It would have to be him or M Brown as the emergency forward

Wonder if Dunstall will travel as the emergency mid?

His position going forward is the relief forward/back so that makes sense

Would've thought he was a bit old and wrong position as well. 🤔

Plus he has a contract with fox footy

What sort of draft picks would we need to give Fox Footy, to get the deal done?

Hopefully he has a good game - expectations should be modest as he’s missed a lot of footy but a few goals and getting through unscathed would be a real positive

Would probably arrive by Tuesday morning.

Sadly I think Joel would be only one more long term injury (wherever he plays) from being delisted. 🤕

Did May say this on an interview?

No at a night with Lever & May at the Sporting Globe Bar. Good night and you get an insight into their personalities and what makes them tick as well as some goss.

To be honest, I'd be satisfied if he just gets through the game unscathed with or without any goals. If anyone on our list deserves some luck go his way, it's him.

VFL | Five changes to face Bullants (melbournefc.com.au)

Just 3 changes to my possible team. Josh.Smith replaces Bell in the ruck and Quigley has got the nod over Grey and Baldi comes in to replace the promoted Hunt.

Can't see that team taking the field as four of them are in Perth as emergencies

They will come home early for the game surely?

  • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
