To suggest Howes be promoted & play fwd shows shows the poster clearly doesn't know what he's talking about.

You have the most appropriate pseudonym on DL. 10 out of 10 for self awareness

    Re location this weekend...AFL statement on VFL finals implied home grounds, so Casey fields....but don't take that as gospel.

    Even think back to this time 2018.

    Thought we had a genuine star on our hands.

    I remember when we recruited Bbb and I thought it was going to be tough to pick a fwd line from the plethora of options. Hhmmm.

    Now we need a another big and tall forward given Tmac' s injuries and inconsistent form which may be injury related.

    Came here trying to find out the time of the game - where did they make this statement on VFL finals? Guessing it wasn’t recent?

    Why would he think his career is done at 25 and with another year on his contract?

    Last week he was outstanding in tough conditions, clearly the best tall KPP on the ground. 

    I can’t believe the footy club hasn’t already given him a solid block of training & games at CHB. 

    Bulldogs supporters were saying exactly the same things about Liam Jones and he goes to Carlton and they turn him into an AA CHB.  McCartin looked a million miles off it as a Key Forward at the Saints even when he was actually playing, now he’s in AA discussions as a Key Defender.

    Weideman is such a really good person and the Club invested so much with an early Pick, I believe it is crazy not to try everything to give him a chance at success.

     

    When we drafted Weed a recruiter at another club mention to me he thought weed would make a fantastic CHB

    You appear to have as much trouble with comprehension as you do with anger management Cranky.

    The poster wasn't advocating Howes be promoted and wasn't talking up his talents.  He was simply saying that it wouldn't hurt to try young players in different positions at Casey to see how they go.

    I don't understand why anybody would have a problem with that suggestion.

    Anger management - why I'm the most even tempered poster on Demonland.

    On re reading Paulos comment I do concede that I was wrong and he was not suggesting Howes be promoted.

    Without being unkind Weideman is probably untradeable. He struggles to get a possession at AFL level. Missed the boat with Collingwood.

    But Weideman did want to stay with us. 2 year extension was one too many. Likely he'll remain with the dees next year.

    Backup ruckman at this stage

    Silly comment of the week award. Another Demonlander creaming his pants over Howes who hasn't actually done anything yet.

    I think you just won your own award

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      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.
