    I'd be more concerned with the whereabouts of the bouncer.

    Not sure how our fwd line is threatening expecting a 20yo JVR who still learning his craft as our main power fwd?? So we need Fritsch to fire incl goals from Pickett , spargo & rotating rucks of Gawn & Grundy. what’s J Smith role a fwd very unconvincing..  BBB want improve @ Casey as he’s past improving so need to roll the dice with him 

    Joel Smith has one Career goal to his name the forward line will be fine :-)

    We all know what should happen tonight but then we all know what should have happened last week. I just don't know if this team has that killer instinct in them, they are more reactionary and often when its to late.

    Ive seen VFL highlights over the past few weeks he can take a pack mark and kick truely something we have been missing for a long time.

    Joel has a high leap, and is quick over the ground.

    Hope he has seen the last of his injury worries and he can compete and make himself a nuisance for Carlton’s backline.

    Go Dees.

    Agree with that.  Our most in-form medium/tall forward at Casey, strong at the contest  & timing leads nicely.

    Goes missing for fair chunks of game time though but it won't matter so much if he hits the scoreboard with 2 or 3 and brings some decent pressure.

    Will need better service up the field than we've been bringing of late though.  Same for our other forwards along with them bringing some system / method in terms of separation and timing of leads / presenting.  Dog's breakfast last week.

    Still think we need a big Key Tall  to take their biggest / best defender and free up JVR / Smith / Fritsch a little more and be the big target go to on a lead for those under pressure breaking from stoppage.

    At least one too many small / medium forwards.

    BB in for ANB is the obvious one for mine

    I'll be at the match with my 2 beautiful daughters (younger one down from Sydney) ... and before the match at a function at the G. They are both Demons, of course.

    Hopefully the team does the right thing to make it a truly memorable night. But sadly I haven't been vaccinated for MFCSS.

    A shot of Premiership Glory cleared mine up for a while. I'm starting to feel symptoms again lately, so 2023 might be a good time for a booster

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      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.
