Why oh why wouldn't we draft him for a year ot two???


 

Good last quarter to get it back to 40 points. Melksham superb agree that he should be in the team this week. Turner and Tomlinson controlled the back half. Brown great first half quiet second half probably needs another game in the 2's. Harmes was excellent.

Tomlinson is in some sort of form. Must be brought back next week. Same for Jake Melksham just too good for that competition.

Tomlinson maybe, but there was nothing in Melksham’s game tonight that looked like an AFL return. Got silver service and added goals in junk time

You hate Melksham as much as Picket hates Spargo take your blinkers off.

Bowey and Disco probably best on. But both probably more good than great. Bowser didn’t exactly carve them up with ball use. And Disco dropped a few marks (probably could’ve had 10-15 intercepts) and occasionally made odd decisions with the ball.

Woey the best mid for the first half, played exclusively wing and was quieter in the second half.

Harmes ok. Dunstan in and out. Spargo had his moments but he’s trying to do too much rather than linking up. His defensive intensity was a cut above early thought. Laurie, the classy moments are great but there’s too many slow or not physical enough to get from traffic moments, played almost always forward, way too much Munro and White on ball today.

Verrell competed strongly in the ruck and tackled well. But he was playing 2 shortish stints per quarter and running on fumes quickly which wasn’t a surprise.

BBB - maybe? Certainly holding marks and looking more sure of foot. Can a ruck miss a week so we don’t lose mobility?

Howes - can he just step up and demand selection already. He’s such a pure mover and kick. Contest work just isn’t there yet.

I don’t hate him, he’s just not an AFL footballer in any role but sub or defensive undersized tall any more.

He hasn’t made appropriate defensive efforts or won ground balls for years and snagging a few goals in a comfortable win against out classed opposition doesn’t impress me.

Could Melksham come in for ANB? I know Goody won't do it but something has to change 

This is the equivalent of saying could Melksham come in for Steven May. 

Bowey playing for Casey, when we can’t hit a target, is a criminal offense.

Agreed yet ironically some of his kicking tonight was ghastly

Damn, forgot this game was on tonight.

Tried to get to the replay without seeing the score - to no avail.

Agree 100% DeeS although will get a few sad and vomit emojis but we were in front last night by 7 points and Goody brought his love child on in the last and what happened. He did nothing and the team did nothing. He also did nothing in the two's. Surely most now will realise for a small he has no pace, doesn't kick goals and IMO is not up to AFL standard.

SUB??? He replaces Chandler No questions asked😃

Please no...he does well at Casey but offers zero tackling pressure.

...we can't afford that at AFL level.

I'm with 'Red', he's probably played himself into the sub role.

A good first up effort I thought 'Dee'...

...has missed a lot of football but there's a lot to like about him.

When he gets his fitness levels up I reckon he will add a more to his game.

Can see him as a very mobile ruck/forward.

Also appears to have put on a lot of upper body size while in rehab.

  • 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.
