I can't see Woey being dropped as the game is in Perth, he has been sub several times and was one of our best when he came on against Carlton.

If anything, Chin could need a rest with his knee issues on a possible hard ground.

I would even have Woey in ahead of Billings.

I agree with this... Woey has deserved his chance and Chandler has been terrific but needs to rest the knee.

It's a great opportunity for our WA guys to have family and friends in attendance. This is great for morale & team bonding.

So can we have Kolt in also?

Unfortunate for JVR

Happy for McAdam

    SHANE McAdam will make his long-awaited Narrm debut, nearly halfway through the season.

    The livewire small forward, recruited from Kuwarna last year in the Trade Period, will play on Sunday against Waalitj Marawar in Perth.

    I know he came on fresh, but I really liked Woey's attack on the ball last week. Really hope (for his continuing progress as well) that he's not left out this week.

    Again, and i promise im not being facetious, do you mean if you were a selector or that you think goody thinks salo is not a lock in our best side?

    I ask, because they are two different things.

    I am not convinced that Salem will definitely come straight back into the AFL side post injury this time. He may come back straight in, but I think they will have a debate at selection about it, which means he is not a lock.

    The only locks in the 23 would be May, Lever, McVee, Rivers, Gawn, Petracca, Oliver, Viney, ANB, Pickett and Fritsch.

    For Salem to come into the backline, Bowey or Howes would need be dropped, or Rivers would need to be redeployed into the midfield.

    Salem is behind Oliver, Viney and Petracca in the midfield pecking order (and probably behind Sparrow).

    I remember you had Spargo as a lock in Goodwin's best side mid last year and he was dropped shortly after and then left out for Laurie in a final.

    Don't disagree entirely but I also think Billings could be left out to enable a Salem return (mid or back), with some minor shuffling. 

    Personally I think a fit Salem is the key to giving Tracc more time inside F50. 

    Re: LOCKS; tough on Langdon who's back to his best so far this year and I'd see JVR as a lock. For a key forward with 30 games experience he brings a boat load to the table!

    Indeed I did, and I was proved incorrect.

    I may well be proven wrong about salo too. 

    We'll see.

    Yep you were right & I end up looking like a goose 

    Mind you his selection totally contradicts Goody's earlier comments that McAdam would not play until he had several Casey games under his belt.

    Let's hope this works out better than the Petty or Bowey returns when they were clearly underdone.

    Tbf mate i reckon Goodwin had no choice but to play McAdam due injuries to JVR and Disco

     

    I dare say Disco may not get his spot back after Sunday

    Just a lil reminder that we are all part of the best Club in the league. 🥰

    We’re the only AFL club whose cheer squad has put together a Sleep at the ‘G team, albeit a small one. It’s on tonight and this year we’ve assembled a uniform of sorts. We all bought matching PJ pants…

    One thing that has changed substantially since 1988 is the crowd. Notice from this still shot that no-one is wearing any gear that identifies who they support.

    • Haha 1

    Given that we will announce an extended squad tonight, my guess:

    Out: Turner, JVR

    In: Brown, McAdam, Verrell, Tholstrup, Salem

    Must be BB and McAdams for JVR and Disco.

    A big ask for McAdams given he's played about 90 minutes of game time in about a year.

    Now that he is actually going to be part of the team, how about using his real name, McAdam not McAdams,  He is not a descendent of Frank Bluey Adams #6

    What do they say about people who live in glass houses?

    You consistently misspell Fullarton as "Fullerton".

     

    • Haha 5

    Fullarton or Verrall in the squad... I'd prefer Verrall but I think Fullarton.

    I also think he won't make the final cut

    BBB and McAdam for game day

    I just went up against Marty Hore in a handball comp. I’m so sch!ttt that even though he let me shoot from literally two feet away, I lost. Badly. 😭

    Any intelligence on Elliott Yeo who instantly makes their midfield about 200% better?

    It's believed he trained today.

    • 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.
