I thought Laurie was suggested by some as being in line for promotion.

Wonder why he's out.

Hope young Woey can be right for the GF

    Woey presumably still feeling the effects of the concussion caused by the thuggish  Ladhams.

    I wonder what is up with Laurie?

    Some have suggested that we look at drafting Jack Bell as a backup ruck for the Demons, but he's only named as an emergency for this game which suggests he may not be rated that highly.

    Those suggesting drafting Bell are either totally clueless or have never seen him play.

    Re Bell, I have seen him play quite a bit so I must fit into the clueless group. I think he has shown steady improvement...if the improvement continues, which I expect, he may well have merit.

    BURY MY HEART AT CASEY?

    Post-apocalypse and the vampire banana-benders are still after blood. Question is will the few survivors rally?  And send the horde of speculators, carpet baggers,  condominium sales staff, eye-gougers and Zorko-ites back across the border to Christopher Skase Land?

    Round 1 ... be there!

    Can't see any upside in playing TMac today. Smith maybe.. simply to get some more forward time into him

    Help winning Casey a premiership maybe? I’d call that upside.

    VFL premierships are irrelevant. It's a training group.

    We have played in many of them over the years including the old Reserves comp but they don't contribute where it counts.

    Lions and the likes of Matho and Robbo have everything to play for today. A spot in the Prelim next week whereas our listed AFL players are probably playing for a spot on next years list. Its a shame some of the better performing Casey players did not get games in the ones during the year. Seems they can't get into the ones and the players in the one's who can't get a kick and when they do turn it over can't get into the Casey team. Work it out.

    He won't cut at AFL level. He could be a poor man's Chris Woodman.

    He tries hard & maybe has shown steady improvement but he can't mark, kick or handball which may hamper his development somewhat.

    Looks like the VFL has been bumped from the TV today. Channel 7 going with the passing of the Queen coverage l, because heaven knows there hasn't been enough of that over the last 24 hours....

    Sorry if it’s already been talked about, but it’s just Bowey and McDonald who won’t be able to play next week if we win right? But we could play Melksham as he’s played over 7 games?

    He’s mostly dropped because 4 talls just won’t work in the forward line so Weid has to ruck to open the forward line up.

    I think there’s probably better state league options but the way he was developing suggests to me he’ll be a good VFL ruck in a year or 2. The difference between good VFL rucks and half the back up rucks on afl lists is just good luck so it wouldn’t shock me

    That's my understanding.

    • 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.
