"Jacob van Rooyen and Josh Schache built on their forward chemistry ahead of the ball"

Looks like this will probably be our starting tall forward line-up until Petty returns

There is Nothing like experience in the forward line, even when Petty comes back, 

I pray we can get 10 or 12 very good but managed games in the forward line out of BBB and Tmac.

    I have no problem with that and hope it takes the pressure of Petty to try and hasten his return.

    It's a disgrace that the gallery doesn't load properly on the MFC Android app, it's 2024!

    I can’t see anything on the MFC website regarding Seymour Community Camp, there’s nothing like revving up the local community or resident Dee supporters in anticipation of getting involved with the camp??

    My guess is they will be on a break until Fri 23rd, when they have a run at Casey.

    I reckon they will do something Sunday the 25th. Maybe at Gosch's, but they may also get creative.

    I like that they get to spend some time away from the job prior to the season real starting.

    Read in the transcript from the spiel of Gawny, that they have 3 days off, after the match sim with Richmond. 

    They may be training somewhere on Thursday, so Sunday 25th may be a day off (a change to what I wrote in the previous post).

    Your guess is as good as mine.

    I wonder if Hunter, Fullarton, T Mac and BBB will be in full training next session.

    I originally posted about Brayshaw in the hope the rumour wasn't true.

    Despite the website having said all week that  there was training at casey today, there wasnt and the gates were locked.  Some of the boys had a hit of cricket, and sounded like a fun game/session in the gym.  So not sure whether this was a last minute change or not.

    Given that they didn't train at Casey today, as previously slated, perhaps they will have a run tomorrow morning (Saturday). As they seem to have scheduled quite a few Saturday runs (most likely captains runs).

    The Gus issues may have thrown them into some changes.

    Nothing set up at the moment.

    Had a chat to an employee of the park, who said they may be training from 10 to 12 today as they have Gosch's booked for then.

    • 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.
