    I see Tarryn Thomas is playing. Must have completed part four of his educational program. ‘I must remember it’s wrong to blackmail women.’

    BBB has to perform!!! 

    He's played his role at Casey the last few weeks NS.

    Barring a bad fail today, Goody needs to get him in imv with JVR and the other forwards / mids and finally settle on an approx 23.

    A little too much tinkering up forward,  through the middle (Kozzy, Jordon, Gus) and with Petty as an experimental forward.

    As Dazzle suggested, Bring in Disco to free up Lever to his usual and most effective role as interceptor vs taking the 2nd best D where he aint so good.  At least until Petty returns.

    Kozzy back to mostly crumbing pressure forward pls and FCS train him to get to the right spots more often.

    Settle the team into their usual 'strength roles' or we risk becoming a jack of all trades and will probably continue to be shakey up against the top 5 - 6 clubs who will play on these weaknesses and look to exploit them.

    At 666 we are lacking a class outside mid with some foot speed and one more extractor / heavy hitter inside.

    That last one might be Dunstan for Jordon / Sparrow but of course he is now out for a while.

    Dunstan almost the best user of the ball by hand at the club in traffic.  We desperately need a distributor in the clinches, especially at 666, who can handball further than a few feet.

    Dunstan can bring that release handball to outside receivers (Tracc/Lingers & Hunter) at stoppage which sees us changing lanes a little and giving different looks for forwards with the kick inside 50.

    The inside / outside could be Harmes but not sure where he's at and seems to have fallen out of favor with the FD till now?  Has played a few decent games at Casey and shown some form but does he fit any role in this team from here i wonder?

    It’s disappointing that Dunstan is out.  I’d be tempted to bring him in to help win or at least break even at clearances.  

    Dunstan had 5 games for us in 2022. We won four of them but I cannot recall him impacting the game. Most say he's too slow for AFL.

    Im not saying he's anywhere near this level but most also said that about Diesel as he made others around him look like millionaires with elite distribution by hand. The too slow talk quickly went out the door.

    Can we afford to bring Dunstan in off the bench as a mostly specialist 666 extractor/distributor?

    IMO, his limited ability to hit a target is the thing that keeps him out of the AFL side.

    Is Deakyn Smith worth a consideration for Jake Bowey?

    Is Bowey out for sure this week?

    Mitch White still struggling with his foot skills. First kick was out on the full and second was a scrubbing kick which bounced through players for a goal. It is hot early in this game.

    Mitch White played for Mansfield last week while Casey had the bye. As expected he was BOG.

    Nah I would have thought Sparrow would be the straight swap

    • 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.
