    Can't believe Grey has gone. Casey will be unrecognisable with Grey and Munro no longer around.

    Our sides are pretty close, didn't keep up with Casey's in's and out's til now. The only difference is Spargo for Woewodin.

    Someone is going to have to step up in the tackling department. Munro was prolific and Grey often not far behind. Will miss Grey's skills.

    Very unusual to lose 2 from leadership group...I expect they both would have been peeved to have 7 available players sitting in the stands in their last game, a final. Both played critical roles in the 22 grand final.

    Yes the 7/8 available players left out was not received well at Casey. Especially give 4/5 players could have easily played without a problem really as only 3 emergencies were potentially required. In fact only Schache was added the following week and he was the unused sub.  🤮😤🤣  A question mark against the “alliance “.

    Pickett missing? Is there something we haven't heard injury wise there?

    At this stage I think Fullarton is more likely than Petty.

    I think Fullarton will play with Petty and JVR.  

    I reckon Woewodin will also play.

    That would be the ideal set-up down the track. I'm not sure Petty will be ready for round 1 though but it's still early in the pre-season yet.

    Also wouldn't be surprised to see Laurie and Howes given some game time early in the year.

    If McAdam has a big preseason fitness block I think he slots in to the best side. His combination of goal kicker and pressure player is something we don’t have in a medium or tall forward. After that:

    Backline: Hore v Turner v Tommo 
    Wings: Langdon v Hunter v Windsor v Billings v Woey
    Small forward: Spargo v Chandler
    Med forward: Fullarton v J Smith v Tholstrup v Billings 

    So many moving parts depending on game plan, match ups and if they move guys around.

    For instance if Rivers moves in to the midfield then suddenly you’ve got a competition between Hore and Howes for a back flank. And you have to decide between Tracc as a nearly full time forward, Viney as a forward or Gus on the wing. 

    I just hope they genuinely train guys up in multiple roles this summer and experiment with a heap of different line ups.

    I think Salem should only play if he is well enough and gets his strength back

    He shouldn't be a lock in selection in my view like last year Who can play his role if he doesn't come up?

    Spargo played his best game for the year in the final against Carlton. But the general consensus is we lost because we weren't linking up well which is his role. So either his best isn't good enough or we need 2 Spargos

    • 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 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.
