Early days but:

JEFFO CAN PLAY. He will be an AFL forward if he keeps developing and working on his body and fitness. Competes hard, can take a mark and is doing great things at ground level. 

K Brown looks great in the midfield, clean hands, poise.

Sestan is a live wire up forward, looks more an AFL/VFL player these days with his body and fitness. Developing nicely and doing so special things. 
 

Verral will be an AFL level ruck in 1-2 years and may even surprise sooner than that. He’s a gun.
 

Adams does a lot better behind the ball when he’s not competing with Tomlinson for every mark. (Also helps that Brisbanes forwards are rubbish). 

The negatives, Hunter is not knocking down the door, for a bloke who would’ve thought one wing would be his this year, particularly with Langdon out, he looks slow and as a result plays for a free every time he gets the ball and shanks kicks or kicks to no one far too often.

AMW does some good things but has Jayden Huntitis, bombs an all his kicks to no one and tries to do a bit too much, gets the ball and has speed and nice hands though. 

Great first quarter Casey!

    Half watching, half working atm. Jefferson looks like he's finding a place. Some nice repeat efforts there to give off the goal assist.

    That's a great sign as I reckon the need for repeat efforts is the penny that needs to drop for Jefferson.

    Laurie busy but not dominating from a value/efficiency viewpoint

    Agree. I think K. Brown deserves a senior promotion before Laurie when the time comes.

    2nd Quarter appears to be a more contested game than first.

    Casey turnovers punished in red time. Bears goal.

    I know they're trying to link up and run the ball but too often the Casey defenders over use HB across the defensive mid zone, often end up turning it over.  Allows the oppo too many rebounds into their 50 and looks at goal

    Good so far in general but need to clean that aspect up of their game style up.

    Jefferson awarded a holding the ball free kick & shot on goal inside 50 from a run down tackle...narrowly misses his set shot

    • 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.
