Play him at full forward.

Not sure about his marking.  He copped a couple of significant hand injuries. 

That said his recuperative powers are legendary 🙌

    The club has the scans but isn't commenting on them.

    Maybe, like with May, they don’t want to scare anyone?

    I mentioned it yesterday but not to blame Sparrow - he's one of my faves! It was more frustration that it occurred after a relatively straightforward skill error. But not vitriol at all so I hope no-one took it that way.

    Gonzo - I can see that a lot of readers did take it that way.

    Not really related to the injury, but given what we have seen with Petty and JVR forward should we be targeting a key defender in the off season?

    I personally would look at getting a key tall to play alongside May & Lever and leave Petty as a key forward.

    I've heard that Adam Tomlinson goes alright 😁

    Here is another fun fact, high heels were designed by the Persians in the 10th centruy for their cavalry so they had better grip in the stirrups.

    Oliver at FF.

    Deadset not against this. But I'd prefer it only happen for 10 minutes bursts.

     

    Have made the suggestion many times with mates. Reminiscent of Michael Voss going forwards at times - always seemed to pull a goal or 2 out hos backside in games at death when required and thrown into the goalsquare out of desperation to change the mix

    Definitely not aimed at you Gonzo. We were all a bit frustrated with that kick I think yesterday even me. 

    Some of the talk today though almost suggesting he should feel guilty? Give us a breather.

    And high ankle support. Modern boots sacrifice support for flexibility and mobility.

    On the subject of Sparrow's poor delivery to Petty, causing an injury, I recall a similar debate raging about someone getting injured circa. 2017 - maybe the Hogan broken leg? Any ideas? To me, it looked like our young brigade (Bowey, McVee, Sparrow, and Rivers) had watched a bunch of videos and were overcompensating for wind that didn't exist. Brayshaw and Salem were also ****housen with the kicking/floating handballs though. I think the latter also got suspended via angry pills in a corresponding match on the apple isle?

    Not sure if it's been mentioned, but all over SEN melbourne this morning that Petty has a lisfranc injury, unsure of severity with a very vague timeline of 6 weeks - 6 months 🤮

    • 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?

    • 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.
