I would not be surprised if Fullarton came in for lately withdrawed Spargo.

I would be.

In fact surprised is way too mild a description of what my reaction would if Fullarton plays in this match.

    More likely would be TMac to free up Lever/May against their 3 tall forwards. Even that's a stretch. Pun intended.

    What is the rule for substituting an emergency for a selected or interchange player prior to the game?

    Given our off season, this will be a defining game. Get em Dees, give them nothing. I want to see scorn on their faces, no laughter or pats on back until the end, or unless a bit of magic happens. Angry and ruthless, us against them. Run out the quarters, get those late goals and go into the break on a high, and definitely to not concede in the time-ons. Pressure, contest and causing turnovers is the modern game and our DNA, plus holding it in our forward area and playing roles. The Carlton community game showed that our zone is still working unless the opps 'take it on'. Be interesting to see if we use fast and powerful plays down corridors, and some blitzing to create a string of goals.

    Feeling confident.

    Go Dees

    Agree,  start the season like we did against the blues, stun the lot of them.  Give them nothing for the whole game and the whole season.  We have the back line we have the mids, I think (hope) Windsor has a blinder, 

    I have no idea who will kick our goals, hopefully 6 or 7 kick multiple.

    GO DEES

    Found a bar in NusaDua that does AFL my wife gets a massage and I get to yell and bellow in a bar. Hope there are other supporters. Bintang grosse each quarter. 
    Happy with any win but I would rather we dominated the burgers , go Dee’s 

    and I want Max to lead from the front.

    jaysus, i’d need a Gavascon chaser after that brekky!

    maybe a defibrillator too!

    I can’t even look at that brekkie pic now. I actually had a Berocca chaser, then another coffee at the airport. Had to hold the spew-bag for the entire flight, much to the concern of the poor soul sitting next to me. The attendants asked folks to let me off the plane first. I thought they were just being nice but they clearly didn’t embrace the thought of cleaning up some eejit’s vomit. The fumes on the tarmac exacerbated the situation. I barely made it to the ladies room, where there was a queue so I had to choose: floor or sink. Poor old sink got the gig.

    For future game-days I shall never again stray from my usual game-day fare of three ☕️s and four 🚬s and one Red Bull. 👍🏽

    As much as i want to see another flag and remain relevant in the competition, i equally now want us to find a permanent home for the next 30+ years, so all we then need to focus on is football.

    The model is based upon all the games played so far this year for premiership points!  
     

    today is dragging like a worm ridden dogs butt on the carpet.

    storyline’s I don’t want to see:

    grundy goes forward and kicks 4

    JJ shines for bog.

    the one I do want to see:

    demons by 25, in a canter.

    Going to be very interested to see how Schache goes. He’s got a good opportunity here to make him difficult to drop if he can make himself a target a get a couple of goals. I’d like to see him play with enough presence where a defender has to be thinking ‘where is Schache’ and not just be able to run off him at will to other contests.

    Totes agree! We need him to be a threat.

    So who’s sub tonight out of Billings, Windsor Chandler or Laurie? Clearly Bowey will start.

    A bit of noise over at Bigfooty that it’s Billings.

    I'd go with Chandler personally, but could also see Laurie. No chance on Billings surely!

    • 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.
