    Of interest (to me, anyway):

    -  Ben Brown named so fit to play, but not selected in the Melbourne team

    -  Kyah Farris-White selected to play against men after running around in the under 18 comp.

    -  Woey back but no sign of Turner (K.) or Smith (J.)

    -  Jimmy Munro still injured

    Which is the Smith in the right back pocket?

    Might be looking to get a fair chunk of real game time into him and see how his back pulls up for the following week?

    Get a bit of touch/form as well before returning.

    Pretty sure the FD will want him back in ASAP subject to fitness / reasonable form.

    No.1 for goal averages so far

    No. 6 for score involvements &

    No. 3 for inside 50 ground ball gets (a smidgen behind Clarry & Tracc who are equal 1st)

    I can't believe Brown is in the 2's should be in the seniors.

    Yep...the only reason i can think of is they want to see how his back holds up in real match conditions as there's still a slim question mark

    Otherwise he should be straight in.

    This might be partly Goody though as if you recall his pressors he keeps mentioning "zero risk" on player fitness.

    Surely if he can play Casey he can play seniors?

    Is there a point when you become so  risk averse however, that it ends up biting you in the behind and costing the team instead?

    Strong team but will get a lot better…Ferris- White on interchange will be a worthwhile watch along with Jefferson, also on interchange.Hopefully Harmes has another good game.. Dunstan seems to be sub

    This could rival 186, a shellacking is in order

    I think it's more management.

    If he plays Monday night then he only has a 5 day break especially coming back from a back injury.

    I think they also want to see whether his body can hold up after a match.

    So is poor Joel injured again / still injured?

    Guessing that no.62 is Cooper Simpson, the young Stingrays mid that trained with us as part of the Academy program.

    Keen to see how he goes, looks a good prospect in that 15-20 range at this stage.

    Edit: Just saw the '23 draft prospects page which confirms all of the above via a Cal Twomey tweet from 4 hours ago!

    That forward line is too good for me not to go and attend in person. 

    I'll be there, looking forward to seeing how KFW goes in the ruck.

    Ross and Dow are the only Richmond players with senior experience and Bauer, Banks and Green the only other listed players vs 9 and 8 in those categories for Casey.

    “Talented draft prospect Cooper Simpson will play for Casey Demons' VFL side on Sunday. The midfielder won the Dandenong Stingrays' best and fairest last year as a bottom-ager and featured for the AFL Academy last week. 

    Zane Duursma set to play for Casey next week at VFL level.”

    The three players coming back into the Melbourne team from injuries this week (Gawn, Hibberd and Lever) are all mature age players. The selectors might have wanted to maintain a balance of youth and experience especially given that sometimes the older players take time getting back to top form.

    AFL website doing a bang-up job as usual. At 1.25pm on 23 April it says on the Casey/Richmond Team Line-Ups page that it was last updated at 2.06pm on 23 April.

    (It also says no late changes)

    Dunstan playing at Casey, so one assumes Clarry will be right to go tomorrow

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
