All over … another bad loss for the Casey Demons who lacked the big men to go with the Magpies and struggled after a dominant start when they kicked the first five goals of the game.

They had a mature key forward who kicked 5.

We looked like midgets.

Killed in the air.

Couldn’t kick straight at any stage.

Best player for Pies, N.Jetta.

 

 

No one likes a loss but I think there were a few "learnings" from that match.

The fringe is still a way off I'm afraid. Schache is unfortunately a bust despite many of us wishing otherwise.

Weideman would be playing footy with JVR this year

Need to question what was the purpose of Shache, didn’t watch the game, was he injured as no goals, there is reason why he’s at a 3rd club

Did Ben Brown play?

No

If you can't kick straight you can't win games.

No bulk in the defensive half.

The only melbourne players that look like they will play AFL to me are

Farris White (leap and height) probably 2 years

Jefferson (height, marking and kicking) probably next year

Howes (height, leaping, running, handball receives, kicking) probably next year but might get a game this year.

The rest don't show enough or have been tried and found wanting at the next level.  Maybe Verell might improve, and Sestan lost 10 kgs.

Of the unlisted players I thought Shepperd showed a bit, but didn't get enough of it.


Anyone who thought Schache was going to be John Coleman for us were always going to be disappointed. We only got him on the cheap as insurance which thankfully we haven’t had to tap into much so far. Exactly the same as what Weideman was bringing us. 

With injuries + suspension was always going to be hard. No Turner or Tomlinson down back, no Smith, BBB or Tom Mac up forward. Even Harnes generally goes well at this level. We missed the AFL players.

I don’t think anyone on here thought the Shack would turn into John Coleman.

He’s injured  

I haven't watched Casey play this year and would appreciate the thoughts of anyone who has regarding Jefferson.

He has kicked 14 goals in 11 games this year, but not been named in the best players yet. I feel that a knack for finding goals is a good trait for a forward, even if he isn't earning them the traditional way (contested marks etc). Wondering how we think he is developing?

Was he a mystery injury withdrawal? I don't think he is a listed injury is he? And he has played recent weeks with Casey.

He should...but his body isnt playing ball...sadly.

Not sure what lays in his footy future 🥴

I’m not convinced Jefferson has the ground game or intensity for AFL. I think he’s a long shot and was a bad pick.

Laurie is too slow and small. 

Howes is the closest to AFL and will be a player.

  • 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.
