    If Bowey and JVR are fit to go this week , then we only have Jake Lever out of our Best 22 in my view.  
     

    We have had a few injuries but overall our main players have been playing each week.  
     

    No excuses at all for our loss last week or if indeed we lose to the Saints.

    Any chance J Smith can be moved from the injury list?

    He's not injured, will most likely never play AFL again and it just makes out injury list look bigger than it is.

    Turner gone from 2-3 to Test; that's a nice change.

    Spargo gone from 2-3 to TBC: that's possibly a sad change.

    Just admit already that you have no idea what's wrong with Spargo and no idea how to fix it. 

    Melksham seems to have drifted out a fair way from his KB target.

    It's unfortunate for Spargo that his Achilles is his weak spot.

    Apparently Achilles was an argonaut.

    Might be worth actually listening to Selwyn, if you haven't. Mentioned they'd ramped Spargo's loads up, he was still sore so they intervened (I'm assuming surgery). Hence the blow out of his time frames

    March.  Before round zero.

    “Charlie had some Achillies soreness with a bit of posterior ankle impingement as well and we’ve been able to get on top of that over the last few weeks. He completed a really good re-conditioning session last week and completed main training today, so he’s available for selection this week.”

     

    Then he plays v swans

    listed as injured before dogs match

    now 12 weeks later 

    Charlie’s achilles must be a problem.  
    “he’s had an intervention and will be off legs right now “. 

    what happened? ruptured ??? Strain would be a few weeks so this is a huge setback again to be having an intervention

    Not sure what intervention meant.  I also thought surgery but usually they say so.  It’s a mystery still imv

    I notice that Luker Kentfield is NOT on this list but was rumored to be carrying an injury.  
    Any inside info anyone? Has he trained?

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      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?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      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.
