For those wondering this article says that Lycett trained in their captain's run today but Teakle didn't, therefore suggesting Lycett is going to be brought back to replace Teakle as their ruck.

It also says Dixon trained but wasn't moving freely.

    According to SA sources much about Dixon playing  is piffle waffle.... He needs to pass a fitness test...as late as Friday.

    It's suspected he won't.  I hope he plays ;)

    yep

    Not my choice but if you think of Petty as the up the ground forward it makes sense.

    I hope the big dinosaurs in Dixon and Lycett play.  They are underdone and it could be wet.  May and our rucks should run off them and expose them

    Taking the absolute [censored]. 
    Can he play forward once Salem return?

    I know we have 8000 players fighting for a half forward role, but come on!

    Wow... Salo sounded very confident he was on track & ready arround three / four weeks ago and the window opened!

    Was expecting at least 1 week at Casey but there you go.

    Dixon is more likely than unlikely to be playing according to Hinkley.

     

    I got this wrong but good news nonetheless.

    Now just need Dunstan back to his best to assist Viney in the center with extractions (and from that clearances).

    Not sure who he'd replace though.  Maybe JJ for a block of matches.

    Great to see Salem back. Fingers crossed he can stay fit for the rest of the year.

    A big surprise with Salo. I hope the club isn’t rushing him back. They did last year and his season really suffered. 

    Thrilled with no Dixon. He’s a monster and he always troubles us.

    Don't think they will play Viney and Dunstan in the same team, Dunstan depth only.

    Exactly. I don’t know why people don’t understand what Dunstan is.

    Looks like Brayshaw will play midfield. 

    I thought the same thing. With McVee, Salem and Bowey back Gus has to go into the middle - probably to play Sparrows role this week.

    Club must be happy with Woewodin.

    I’d be happybwith him if he didn’t try to take on the opposition every time he gets it.

    • 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.
