Before it's all said and done I'd love to see Joel get a shot up forward. I've still got that 2019 pre season form in my head. 

One game.  Which it would appear you didn't watch

    Mad a car trip from north east Vic to the Gabba for the game, just wondering what tickets we buy to make sure we are with other Melbourne supporters???

    I'm sitting in a GA area so assume I'll be surrounded by Lions fans....

    I guess the best spot would be the cheer squad, but not sure if they would be available?

    He's 27 years old and isn't locked in the best 22 even if fit after 7 years. It's a major head scratcher why he's still on the list when he can't even get on the park by now.

    Anyhoo I'm hoping we give May another week off to ensure his calf is 100%. Petty, Lever, Tomlinson are more than capable enough without him, and Gawn and others float back to help too. We need May cherry ripe for our assault on the flag later this year.

    Not being a lock in a defence that includes May, Lever, Petty, Salem, Rivers and Brayshaw is hardly a reason for delisting.

    David Astbury played in 24 games in five years from 2011-2015 and then played in three flags.

    He is a cheap list filler, that has versatility and will probably be a lot better than pick 900 in the draft.

    I think his ability to play back and forward and his athleticism is what's kept him on the list.

    The Demon Army website has some info about tickets but you're probs best placed ordering via Ticketmaster (since the Try Booking link to register interest might not be monitored this late).  Section 211? 213? are cheersquad zones :)

    I understand it to be fact (from someone close enough to it all to trust).

    Having said that, he is on the plane so either someone is playing games with me or the club is playing games with Brisbane! We’ll know in about 28 hours.

    Tickets we were allocated that remained unused were sent back to the Club this morning. Your best bet would be to call the Club. Good luck with that though.

    My DA BFF/ticketing expert is looking to see if there’s any other option for you, Josh. Watch this space. 👍🏽

    We’re in Bay 213. There’s GA tickets which allow you to sit wherever but if you get there early as possible you can sit in our Bay. No oppo supporters, understandably. Not sure if there’s still any GA tickets available. I’d say there would be since the NRL match will attract more people. But if there’s no GA available, your last resort is to ring the Club.

    This is right DP, all DA-allocated tickets that weren’t booked were returned to the Club this morning. However, if someone does buy a GA ticket and gets there early they’re very welcome to sit in our Bay or the bay next to ours. Strictly Dees fans only, of course.

    Please do the right thing and contact Action Jackson asap Walking and let him know about this arrangement.

    It's a win win as his 24 hour plus wait will be worthwhile plus he won't just keep the seats in your bay warm.... they'll be red hot by the time the game starts! 👍🏻

    His athletic ability would be such a weapon for our team but unfortunately we just barely see it due to injury.

    Feel for him and fingers crossed he can get a good run at it.

    He is athletic once on the move Dazzle but i watched him closely against the Hawks last season and he was easily beaten to the drop of the ball on most occasions and unable to kill the ball very often aside from the occasional big bombs.

    I think some are fooled by his running / athletic capability when he gets some momentum but off the mark he's well behind many forwards with any sort of speed over the first few meters.

    I reckon some opps might know this also and would look to exploit this weakness, especially by looking to go through any forward with even a bit of decent burst on the lead.

    Thanks for the info mate. We were planning on just rocking up and buying tickets 🤷🏽‍♂️ we have a country family membership but not sure that'll help with a Gabba game. Either way we'll be there

    • 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.
