That collision was huge. Three players smashed into each other. I was amazed watching live that they all got up.

That's [censored] for petty.

Petty collided with teammate Tom Sparrow in the final minutes of Monday night’s Anzac Day Eve game.

Thanks SONS, I completely missed that.

That is obviously incorrect or outdated. 
934 games missing is far too many with Salo ( not sure but about 150 games in 9/10 seasons having most. There is only about 5 on the list also so would be about 300 inc. Spargy's approx 50/ 60/70 games ?). 


Not the worse and sounds like Petty should be right. 
 

Fingers crossed Salem has no more setbacks and also fingers crossed Dunstan’s injury is minor. 

Gutted for Dunstan if that is any more than short-term. 😌

 

Injury List: Round 8

Charlie Spargo - Concussion | Available 
Harry Petty - Concussion | Test
Josh Schache - Wrist | Test
Luke Dunstan - Knee | TBC 
Christian Salem - Knee | 1 - 2 Weeks
Kye Turner - Groin | 5 - 7 Weeks
Will Verrall - Pelvis  | 7 - 8 Weeks

Especially after 46 possessions the week before and no promotion.


with Salem to return our top 25 are all injury free

hope this continues and we continue our conservative strategy with rest/recovery

Would imagine that Salo would ease in - maybe a half at Casey then 2 or 3 full games then promoted on form. 


Presumably the Casey players will have a pretty serious match sim on the weekend, and Salo can start to build some match conditioning.  He’s had an extended break (thyroid & knee) and it will take time for him to become match fit.  I’m really looking forward to his return, but I doubt it will be before the bye.

I really don't see how.

Unless very limited time in magoos 

Cannot and wont come "straight back in" after an extended layoff!

Salo needs more hype, he will compliment our defenders perfectly. I suspect it will take him 2-3 weeks to have him fit and ready for the firsts. 

He is the perfect person to step into Hibbos role, whose body is not holding up well this year.

IMO this is the ideal mix...

Petty May McVee/Bowey

Rivers Lever Salem 

This group is a great mix of youth, class and toughness. With Salo adding even more clean ball use to the mix.

Best news when of course Casey has a bye 🙄

we have the bye too.

playin the Hawks!


Would be a handy sub option this weekend, great to see him back.

He was dreadful last year when rushed back into the side.

Needs a month at Casey (considering their bye this week) and can come back after the bye, not sure we want his first game back against the Pies (or cats for that matter) where it will be extremely fast paced.

We are not in a position where we are forced to play him underdone.

 

 

Interesting language - telegraphing selection?

I wonder if they want to get a game under his belt before the important Port game? If so, he could come straight in this week.

I wonder if McVee will get a rest...

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

  • 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.
