Casey playing up there, aren’t they?

Yep 11 am start. If going there to watch you will need to go out of ground after and return in when gates open at 2.30pm

    Thank god this game is on the Gold coast, can you imagine going to the game this Saturday at the G for a 4.30 start. Max temp 13 for the day with showers. Kayo with a nice red sounds like heaven by comparison.

    In regards to it being tough to break into the team, I really do hope that anybody that has a niggle is being rested when they should. Don't want the same thing to happen this year as last getting to the back end of the season and those players with niggles playing when they shouldn't be.

    Hmm no Spargo - you don’t wanna get an injury with this team, hard to get back in!

    Especially when your pre injury form wasn't great

    Are you certain he passed all protocols?  Maybe he missed a couple of key milestones and needs another week?

    Where’s Spargo? Also, surely Hibberd is a late out and someone like Schache comes back in so Petty can go down back? Suns have got 3x 195cm+ forwards and they’ve brought in Casboult. 
     

    Weather forecast also says it’ll be a dry game.

    Or maybe he simply didn't make the team purely because how well we're travelling and the form of Pickett, Nibbler and now Chandler who are just much more dynamic at ground level.

    It's a hard side to crack. He'll just need to bide his time.

    I don’t think there was anything wrong with Spargo’s form pre injury. He’s kicked 2 goals three times in 4 and a bit games and was his usual self with score involvements and goal assists.

    Harmes for sub IMHO.

    With the VFL the game before the seniors, are players withheld in case of an injury during warm-up? Perhaps one of the other emergencies get pulled out of the VFL game at half-time in case we end up needing them as a sub, and the player  who was supposed to be sub, gets promoted?

    Every chance. Time's passed when clubs take any risk with concussion.

    But we'll see.

    If he plays in the VFL game on Saturday prior to the one's game you'd assume concussion is not a concern.

    Weather is great up here. Nice warm days around 23-27degrees and cool nights so expect first half to be in warmish conditions then maybe the cool night air will come down around 5.30- 6.00 pm. By that time I hope we are heaps in front.

    Some big outs for GC. The ones missing have played a significant impact in some of those win this year.

    Personal opinion: Spargo may be stranded in Casey team for some time.

    Yes will be hard gig as Casey forward line is currently land of the giants. Lots of roving opportunities but very hard to apply pressure by yourself….

    Where did you read this? It’s not on the MFC website. 

    Spargo not named a surprise if he has passed protocols. Shows how fierce the competition is for spots if he’s fit.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      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.
