Sounds like Fritsch will be out and no certainty to get Oliver back.

JVR for Smith. A fresh face (Woey, Howes, whoever) for any of the underperforming players (ANB, Harmes, Chandler).

    Out Goodwin

    In Batfink.

    JVR in for fritta. Anymore changes might be too much for the selection comitee.

    ANB, Smith and even Kozzy may need a spell at Casey tbf.

    Could not give a Tosca,season done, time to shake the joint up and play JVR and blood, Woey, Jefferson, and any others that have played well at Casey!

    Season defining game next week. Don’t care who is injured, the ins or the outs.  We need to win this one - no excuses

    Might be time for one of Gawn or Grundy to have a spell. Neither are playing well.

    Why suggest any changes? Goodwin will back the team in as they ‘did a lot of good things’ this week. No point in rewarding anyone who may be in any form in the 2s, that would make sense. Got to stick with the same group. Goodwin would probably pick fritsch this week if allowed

    JVR for Smith

    Unfortunately there's no stand out small forward at Casey for Chandler. AMW had a good game today but has no solid bank of form.

    Melksham did little in conditions that should have suited him

    Bowey forward and Howes in down back if you want to be adventurous

    Forgot Fritsch' injury... Smith or Schache (not sure)

    Woey jnr to make his debut please….

    jordon back in please….

    Maybe even Dunstan to play against the saints …. random I know …. 

    fritsch an obvious out and chandler and J smith back to the Casey demons to help them in their quest to get back into the top 4…..

     

    Any chance Tomlinson can get a game before he tells Goodwin to GAGF & play every week for another team next year?

    He was on the market at the end of 2022 and no takers

    absolutely agree. we can’t carry both and give up run. with JVR and Brown and Petty back we are far too tall

    I think we are going to have to get around 85 Inside 50s to win this one…

    No way Smith goes out.

    Chandler or Pickett out before him.

    JVR for Fritsch and we are still a medium/tall forward short so ideally need someone else. 

    Dare I say Tomlinson in to the backline and Petty forward.

    Why not? He’s not good enough.

    Thought today would’ve been the day to try that considering the weather…but I guess I have hindsight on my side??? 🤷🏼‍♂️

    His forward pressure is excellent, he adds much needed structure as a forward target and can bob up for goals.

    Either way we are screwed without Fritsch.

    It was disgusting that he was dropped after a career best performance on KBDay against this year’s (more than likely)premiers 

    It was a complete lack of selection in integrity and the players must be confused on what the base level of performance is to maintain their spot in the side.

    Maybe. Or does the ratio of goals/i50 continue to decline the higher the number of i50s?

    You know how like in video games, if you’re way out in front (racing game, Streetfighter whatever) the algorithm makes sure your competitors can catch up…

    Ok.. so change is need.

    Out- Grundy, ANB, Kosi, Harmes & Fritta

    In- JVR, Tomlinson, Woey, Laurie & Oliver. 
    Bowey or Salem to spend midfield minutes, Laurie needed forward as he can actually hit a target. Petty forward with JVR and Brown.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
