I would think at least one more MFC player goes out to fill the sub role and another as emergency.

    Any idea when Mitch White is due back?

    Saw him on Gosch's with the rehabber group Saturday. 

    Mainly running laps by himself. He didn't want to kick when another player ask him to do some short passes. Pointed at his left groin/abdomen. I'd  guess still 3/4 weeks away.

    Really interesting to see how Tom Sheridan goes for Casey today.

    Have heard some big wraps on him.

    Tom McDonald playing at Casey Fields, as is Tomlinson. Daniel Turner not out there.

     It looks as though Jake Melksham is the sub for Melbourne today.

    Laurie is playing much more consistent footy, amazing how an endorsement at the higher level helps his confidence and application.

    One quarter down and the Dees lead by a goal despite Swans dominating general play. They also look to be giving us trouble aerialy as well.

     

    Let's hope Casey can get more of the ball this quarter and get a bit more separation on the score board.

    McDonald, Tomlinson and Laurie probably the best of the Demons with Howes getting a bit of it as well.

    Adams looks mote comfortable than last week, getting out bodied a few times by a much more seasoned player in Francis which is fine given the discrepancy there in development and size.

    • 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?
