See earlier in this thread. On MFC.com they're saying McLean will be rested for another week.

    where's jamar?

    neaves has been called half a dozen times doing things around the ground but no mark. worrying signs for the russian.

    I thought he was injured, is he playing today?

    Newton could have had about 9 goals today. Would have been BOG or at least the most dominant forward had he kicked straight. Has had about 4 assists too.

  • Quote

    some bloke called robinson misses. apparently he's done well enough to be straight back in for the dees next week.

    not sure about robertson though.

    johnson kicks another for the seagulls. the commentators go 'nanas as a result.

    22 point the margin- robertson 4, saunter 3, newton huges 2, liddel, garland 1 some of the goal scorers.

    newton very impressive. what a shame he couldnt kick 5 and really press for selection. he could have.

    robbo will definitely play next week meaning he probably won't get another chance this year unless dunn or miller get dropped or injured

    ok thats great to hear....

    what exactly has Juice kicked(and how many scoring assists) in fact can i just have all his stats if someone has them when the game is finished hes gotta be pushing for selection next week if not the week after ....

    good to see robbo back on target back from injury....

    robbo was interviews on 97.7fm.

    he said it was good fun playing for sandy, and was impressed with their inability to win posession from the contests.

    seems certain to be playing for the demons next week, as he is clearly a level above vfl. in fact he is one of the better afl players going around so will be a gerat addition to the team.

    surely daniher can't ignore newton forever. he kicked 2, i missed 3 gettables, directly involved in atleast 2 others (one in which he got a bloke holding the ball but advantage was payed to sautner who kicked the goal instead of newts)

  • Quote

    Juice kicked 2.6!!! At least 2 of those were rushes of blood to the head that he should have avoided, but other3ise he played a mature game. Would have had 25+ touches playing at CHF, as well as doing all manner of other things like tackling and intercepting kick-ins...

    As far as assists, I think I counted about 4... Shame. Would have been nice to say he kicked 4+ 3 weeks in a row... But...

    Juice played another ripper today, and his side got over the line. That's the important thing.

  • Quote

    commentators say that very even performance.

    commentators opinions:

    sautner prevented, "but it was telling that he and robbo spoiled each other."

    impressed by robbo, had a hand in 6 or 7

    wheatley miserly in defence, link man across hb

    bizzell terrific in the middle or down back

    poyas cutting across hb

    like the look of gallagher

    summers in and out of the game

    hughes - only played for 2 quarters, livewire when he came on the ground

    holland down back an old head.

    no mention of newtown. sounded to me via their very bias call that he was very, very good

    thanks for the info DD was greatly appreciated does anyone think Newton has any sort of chance in the next 2 or 3 weeks to play for Melbourne???

  • Quote

    pressure on miller is huge now. with robbo coming back, he really should be dropped anyway, and newtown MUST be close to debuting.

    great to see hughes sounding impressive, and i'd prefer wheatley to ward or brown. i'm positive he could play on their players at least as defensively as they can, and be better skilled when he has the ball into the bargain.

    he's always played as a medium tall player on tall players. it'd be great to see him play as a medium tall on slightly smaller players. i think he might have the agility to do fairly well.

  • Quote

    it seems very clear to me that the demons coaching staff are desperate to find another quality k.p backman. they have tried holland, warnock, bizzel, ferguson and others with limited success...

    frawley is clearly the big hope to become a quality k.p backman. the coaching staff will play him after 1 good vfl performance, of that i am sure. (unlike newton who must impress for 10 weeks before getting a look in).

    so...how did he play??? does he warrant selection? will it be soon?

    Newton would have to be among the best 3 Zebs in recent weeks, and among them for the year.

    Will he play? Probably not. He'd have to move heaven and earth to get a game at the moment I reckon.

    What's weird is that this year there haven't been too many demons players I've been excited to watch. Maybe Beamer, Petterd, Bate, Bell... Juice is up there with them, and he's not even playing in the red & blue...

    What did he do? Hit on ND's daughter or something?

  • Quote

    Great stuff from Newton, that'll probably be 3 weeks in the best, hope he keeps up his form and can make his way in way into the dees team.

    how did cj go?

    • 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?

    • 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.
