    Hibberd looks like he'll play a role for us yet again this year. 

    Always reliable.

    He’s a certainty, if fit.Him and Rivers will play Bank flank with Bowey warming the seat for Salem in back pocket.McVee May get a look in sometime later in year. Was quite surprised however in the growth of McVee.

    Woey - played on ball, bursts forward whenever he gets it and used it safely. Tough++

    Hibbo - too strong and smart for this level, but the legs don’t drive on rebound like they used to

    JVR - kicked a couple, didn’t dominate but solid after playing a half for the senior side

    AMW - looks fitter, stronger and really dangerous in traffic. If he’s even remotely fit enough for afl he’s good enough

    JJ - prolific on ball but not overly dangerous

    Disco - took some good marks, but didn’t use it as well as he can. Had an ankle checked at one stage, not sure he’s playing entirely to his best 

    Verrell and KFW - both very promising, Verrell more ready as he times his leaps and has more ground ball skill. But KFW follows up and isn’t afraid of getting involved.

    Schache - moments of class but outbodied too often by Highmore and others 

    Jeffo - just getting started but be clunked a couple and had a couple of nearly moments, didn’t find any easy kicks

    Laurie and Howes - both good and bad. Nice to see Laurie on ball. A lot of almost moments from Howes

    D Smith - didn’t see him much and didn’t think he did much with it either 

    Sestan and K Turner - just getting stated 

    Agree with pretty much all you say here, will add a little bit from my viewing.

    Verrell in particular for me today...looks really promising.

    Hibbo as you say too good for the level, will be great depth this year.

    I think AMW will be a step up from Bedford...just a better ball handler and very clean and clever with his ball use. From the track watchers of which you are one I think he has been in rehab for a lot of the preseason so a good performance coming in underdone.

    Howes needs to get involved, just goes along for the ride. On his output to date very overrated.

    Thought Burgoyne showed some real pose and class on the outside. Rarely wastes it.

    Andy Moniz-Wakefield and Will Verrell adding those young fellas to my book of potential debutants for the season. Has Choco repeated his ‘21 pre-season ritual of burning their birth certificates? That was some voodoo worthy of Papa Doc!

    Snache looks spudie to me.

    Can't believe I sponsored Tomo.

    How many year more do we have him?

    What a nasty thing to say. Don’t sponsor a player if this is your attitude.

    Also, who is ‘Snache’? And what does ‘spudie’ mean?

    Which number was he 'dazz'?

    I didn't hear him called & don't know him by sight but thought he would have been out there.

    I think Burgoyne was number 44.

    Found separation, playing half forward flank, when gjven space he moves well and hits targets. Thought the connection with other players was lacking a few times, as he was by himself or doing run ons, but was not given the ball.

    You can blame thr commentators for that.

    At one stage they had said Luca Goonan had just kicked a goal when in fact it was Andy Moniz Wakefield.

    At least they got the right team. Earlier she called a Dees goal that was actually a Saints goal.

    It’s not easy to tell the difference between a bright, light blue and red guernsey and a black one.

    Jesus poor Tomlinson is getting taught a lesson by the Saints new PPS kid...

    Might be an excuse, but playing in a scratch match, as people leave the ground after the main game, in 33 degrees, might not have been a big motivator for Tommo to play at his best.

    Then again………..

    The beauty is we are certainly adding depth to our back stocks with Turner x 2, Adams and McVee ( a real surprise ) and maybe Smith D as another possible.

    Depends on if he wants to play senior footy l suppose

    There will have to be a lot of injured players in the back six on that performance

    • 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.
