    What sort of role is McVee playing down back? Can he be a small lockdown type to quell the Charlie Cameron, Stengle, Papley types? Could he replace Hibberd long term?  Hoping he’s not just another rebounder as we’re well stocked for hbfs, but have a clear list gap for small lockdown defenders since Jetta retired and Hibberd is on his last legs.

    McVee is the interesting one. Come from the clouds. Hibbo playing twos...

    that's the one that surprised me too. Hibbo has the harder body and probably should be playing round one, but youthful exuberance is a beautiful thing, and he kind of looked like what I hoped Joel Smith would be out there. definitely one to watch.

    i missed most of q2 cos of meetings, but based on what i did see of those four quarters:

    - lever won't play round 1; plugger back, Fritsch comes 

    Unless he’s badly injured Lever is best 22 and will continue to be so

    McVee was very good, as were Bowey, Rivers and Hibberd .

    Someones gonna miss out.

    Rapt with Kozzie in the midfield and Hunter really adds something.

    I'll be honest, I thought that McVee would be the least likely of the 2nd year players to debut this year. But based on that game, he'll be pushing for round 1. He was excellent 1 on 1, read the play well, and his disposal was neat and effective.

    Others to impress were Hunter, Rivers, Bowey and Chandler. If Kozzie is playing further up field, then Chandler should be a lock for round 1. Rivers should be challenging Harmes for a spot in the side. 

    The Grundy/Gawn combo went as how I thought it would. Gawn is vastly superior around the ground, and despite kicking 3 between them, neither were effective as marking forwards. Grundy's ruckwork was largely ineffectual, and was cumbersome at ground level.

    Lever loves a rolled ankle, srsly. 

    I swear he stuffs up his ankle every week and someone hobbles on…

    If it’s just a rolled ankle he’ll be fine, depends on if any ligament damage.

    He was doing run throughs on the boundary just after he did it so doubt it's really serious. The worry is not will he play round 1 but home times will he hurt it during the year. it's like his ankles are made of glass.

    I watched most of the second half, without commentary of course, which number was McVee? I think he was a the skinny kid with a shaved head.

    Any observations on JVR and Shasche.

    Watching McVee reminded me of Ricky Petterd, his movement was similar.

    Hope it’s not the dreaded syndesmosis. Lever was very good before he went off

    People splaying Lever won’t play rd1, due to a rolled ankle. Is that hyperbole and MFCSS?? 

    Nope. Club said he’s a chance to play against Richmond in the practice match next week.

    It was just a practice game so won't read to much into it but there was a problem with delivery inside the forward 50. Too many times it went to a saints player. Is there something familiar in  what I am saying.

    • 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.
