    All the sick and injured players were named and of their 4 emergencies, 2 of the 4 players played today. Only Markov and McInness realistically available just as JJ & Taj didn't play today. 

    Doubt there will be any late changes.

    Bring in Woewodin!

    How does James Jordan continue to not make the team, whoever is coming out for Oliver in a week.

    No mcstay. That's good.

    I know he'd be underdone but we've struggled against mutiple talls, most notably against the bombers.

    Cox and Cameron will split ruck and forward- and both push forward at times - mihocek plays tall, as does Johnson, so a fit mcstay would stretch us.

    I'll be curious who tomo plays on. Cameron and Cox?

    Mihocek is brilliant one on one and  tomo isn't. But I wouldn't mind seeing tomo take mihocek.

    Similar size, and mihocek gets on his bike, which suits tomo more than wrestling with Cox and Cameron 30 mertres our from goal.

    May is s much better option for the two rucks.

    If petty, who we are really missing,  plays forward when he returns after the bye, there's a spot for tomo down back. Love to seem him take it.

    He is moving more like he did before his knee, much more agile than last season, has a great tank and is a lovely field kick. So he has a good shot at it.

    Really hope James Jordon isn't the sub.

    In all games that he's started off as a sub he's made zero impact coming on. And that's purely because he not a impact at all. He's a role player who's also limited at times

    Woewodin at least comes in and provides some fresh energy and zip into the team.

    Look I’m probably going to sound whingey (dilligaf) but if you cancel sportsman’s nights because 2 of your players have the flu, they should have to pass a rigrorous medical including respiratory illness testing

     

    I mean what kind of mid 1800s infectious diseases circus is the afl running when CLEARLY INFECTIOUS Collingwood players can spread the flu amongst the oppo

    You'd think if Woey was in as a sub, there would be a bit more of a build up. I imagine his dad would be presenting the jersey, or at least hanging around the club.

    JJ as sub, Woey as emergency.

    The late teams we’re probably due to a number of Pies players waiting for negative COVID tests. They are not held back for normal illness. 

    I would be amazed if they can play out a full game. We should walk all over them in the 2nd half.

    We won’t and should not debut a kid as the sub. Especially the son of a former champion. It’s just not right.

    Add to that the Perth factor and you might be right.

    In a no horse**** move, Goody appears to be keeping Mr Ed well 'stabled' on the named interchange for the start of the King's B'Day thriller. Brayden Maynard was disappointed as there was no duck on the filth dinner menu. Brayden will be offered a serving of humble pie,         cold.

    It's unbelievable how many posts in this thread are about who will or won't play for Collingwood. 

    WGAF. 

    Two years ago we lost to them and they had about 6 of their star players out up in Sydney.. 

    This game will come down to our pressure, ability to execute the fundamentals consistently most of the game and ability to win contests all over the ground. Regardless of who is in or out. 

    We owe this feral club a beating. And it will all depend on what mindset we bring to the game. They are not invincible, but I trust their ability to perform more than us atm like most do. But it will have nothing to do with outs. 

    Port beat us with a VFL level forward line by bringing a mindset and application all game. Hawthorn the same against Brisbane. 

    Completely in our hands.

    I was at that game in Sydney. My son’s first game. Fitting really. 

    The table of expectation now turns and we can just play some tough footy.

    I always thought this would be a game around two specifics...  respective defences... and 4 qtrs of run and pressure.

    If we come to play ( seriously) we should have the tank for 4 qtrs.

    Collingwood 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 maybe not so much.

    If we can be a least evens at 3/4 time i suspect those collywobbly legs will get very heavy ...for some.

    Interesting game ahead.

    Go Dees

    • 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.
