    The first 22 players are the players that played friday night. I think our top 10 performed just fine it was the bottom 12 that let us down. 23 to 33 are the best ranked players who have played games but didn't play against Brisbane and 34 to 43 are the best ranked players who haven't played a game.

    Interesting anyalysis, isn't it.

    Not an easy list to really wrap your head around but creates good discussion.

    I've highlted 3 that off the top of my head i reckon we got a lot more out of last year and showed our lack of KPF depth in the the end. We really lacked T Mac as a solid CHF replacement, as well as a drop from (due to injuries/form) Level and Salem.

    We know Oliver, Tracc, Brayshaw, Gawn etc can play but really saw a drop from role players in some areas for FY 2022.

    Personally i would love to see some more flexibility in seasons 2023, and some  young kids stand up like JVR, Bowey, Howes, Turner to give us that additional depth and flexibility.

    If we have Disco, Lever, May, Petty, Smith as KPD, surely one has to move forward.

    I know he is a preimeriship defender but i'd think Petth has to go forward in season 2023.

    I'd have Disco as cover. Petty and Smith can be swing men. I'm one of the that would love to see Gawn spend more time up forward. It's probably the reason demonlanders don't like Grundy because they only see Gawn as a ruckman.

    3 Key defenders Lever, May, Petty (swingman), Smith can play tall and small (swingman) Turner as cover

    3 key forwards van Rooyen, McDonald and Gawn Petty and Smith (swingmen) Ben Brown as cover.

    Yep 100% on board with you @WERRIDEE

    We saw in the last 5 mins of tthe SF how damaging a good markign forward significantly improves our side. Unfortunetly BBB is not that player and T Mac was injured, but the mechinism should have been in place to throw Petty up forward to help Gawn and BBB.

    Lets hope for season 2023 we see a bit more flexibility and less injury interuptions.

    I agree WERRIDEE we have the KPD positions well covered and like the idea of Petty/Smith as swing men provides a lot of flexibility we can also use TMac the other way or direct swap with Petty. Even if we get Grundy we still need another ruck/ forward and another forward to support TMac, JVR, Fritsch and BB. One that likes a bit of body on body with strong hands with a bit of mongrel as well. Plus another big bodied mid with a bit of pace to keep everyone sharp, we may already posses that player but not sure. I am really hopeful that Bedford, Chandler, JVR, Bowey, Laurie, Howes and Woewodin get a run in 2023 must keep refreshing the list.

    • 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.
