Has everyone forgotten about Schache, he was the preferred tall not that long ago!

    You are better off bringing Joel Smith to play that role. He has the height and athleticism to go with him. 

    It’s an option for sure he has the defensive prowess and can work off him.

    I can't believe how many people look to smith, he will get gobbled up at AFL level (again).

    This could be a blessing in disguise, who ever comes in should get this 4 block period to nail that spot.  Hopefully they lock it in and petty can return to def, i really think we are missing him back there.

    @dees189227 had his toe jammed between the ground and another player, it caused a sprain in one of the foot ligaments.

    Wasn't McDonald picked as an emergency last week, sort of points to him getting the nod this week.

    Yep, T-Mac is next in line and he can play the role (lead up CHF) that Petty was playing

    Brown is more a deep forward (JVR's role) and Schache is there in reserve for one of the ruckman

    I’m guessing that is a polite way of saying someone stepped on his toe?

    Perhaps lol, the lady doc on the video said it was an interesting injury.

    The doc found it interesting and Jaded No more found it disastrous.

    I am leaning towards Jaded's view on this one.

    My understanding is this had nothing to do with what happened in the game and that this toe jam stuff is merely a cover.

    Apparently he got wind of the MRO crappa on Sparrow and hunted Christian down.

    Pssst....this hasn't gotten out of the four walls yet so mum's the word!

    No way. The only person who's forgotten about him is Bevo. In fact, I'm tipping him to have a career breakout game at Casey next week.

    Sounds like it is the end of the world...our third defensive tall and makeshift foward has gone down for 4 to 6. Thought Melbourne was supposed to be a top team. Currently within an injury list most teams would kill for.

    Disappointing for Petty who was finding form and starting to hit the score board too. 

    Those that have called for Melk or Smith to play a defensive forward role on Alir are on the money IMO.

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      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.
