6.20 Sunday. Been like this since COVID. Not a fan but is what it is.

Guess we'll have a good clue about who's in/out when Casey run out tomorrow afternoon. Or better yet when the Casey squad is announce, whenever that may be.

Incredibly unlikely IMO. Clarrie has been going OK, just not at his usual sensational best.

With the bye one week away I will be amazed if anyone is out "managed". When was the last time that happened at selection for us?

you could be right

but zero contested possessions in a half of footy is not Clarry. Give him this week and the bye off to try to get right.

just an uninformed opinion

 

Im starting to think, apart from JVR returning, no change. Goodwin needs to read out the Riot Act. Your careers are on the line today infront of 90,000.

If you dont like it then get a different job making only 75k a year. 

Get it done!

Some here may recall former coach Neil Balme circa1994? Kicking a chair which flew across the visitors change rooms at Kardinia Park. Immediately after a defeat of similar proportions to last Sunday's shellacking in the Alice. Got a response too, the very next round at Princess Park. We turned up to play, Allen Jakovich was at his imperious best. It was a responding victory against the odds.

Love and respect Neil Daniher. King's Birthday is very much his MND awareness and fund raising day. But down in the rooms a bit of fire and brimstone from Balmy wouldn't go astray.

Gawn May and Trac out through injury?

Selection for this week against the Filth is critical, delayed, non-communicative. If so many players being considered that minds and fitness cannot be related at this point (Sat), it looks like another loss coming up perhaps. 


I am expecting a 40 pt loss to the Dees. The woods may have injury carnage however we don't have any forwards , our midfield is shot and defence is fair.  I expect the dogs, lions and hawks to jump us on the ladder with the next 3 weeks.

Goody and co. must go. We need to trade Petty , Clarry , Chandler , Tommo and much more.

Why the delay and goody saying let's take 24 hours more and sleep on a possible decision.

I sense something big?

Reckon it's Petty related. Put him back, and what to do forward.

There was some talk in the media earlier in the week that there was a lot of internal debate about Petty, but Goody wanted to keep him forward. Maybe Richo and the other coaches are finally trying to force Goody's hand?

I highly doubt we are delaying our team announcements. Pies haven't got their team up either. 

It would be that Monday games don't get announced until presumably Sunday night for whatever reason.

We wouldn't be allowed to do that. The AFL would advise when teams need to be announced

Exactly, so not sure why people are thinking we are delaying our team announcement.

Well it’s because teams normally come out 2 days in advance.

Another example of how the AFL like to [censored] with fans.

Dont mean to come across as a smart [censored] but they only give one days notice for Thursday, Friday and, as it appears, Monday games.

I don't like it either and we should have at least had an extended squad tonight in my opinion. Bit of a joke that the senior team may not be announced before your reserves have played a game.

You're confusing team announcement which this week will be tomorrow arvo.

It's when the line up is locked away internally that I am referring too. As stated by Goodwin suggesting match comments sleep on it an extra 24 has. They will have made the call now. Just not publicly. 

My interest still stands. Somethings up I still reckon?

Could be - though could simply relate to whether JVR has got over his injury, or similar.

Fair enough, I presumed people were talking about the delay in announcing team selection.

But are they actually taking an extra 24hours compared to normal? Or is it simply 24hours later given the game is on Monday and captains run will be on Sunday?

The delay doesn't make sense unless you read Caroline Wilson's article for The Age. The context was, Goody agreed to do an interview after Thursday's match committee meeting. He mentioned to Caro that the committee hadn't made a number of tough selection decisions, and he had told them to sleep on it for 24hrs and they would come together again to discuss.

So, it seems it is 24hrs later than they had planned. But given the game is on Monday they had that 24hrs extra.

Thanks, hadn't seen the article.

Isn't that all the more reason to do something.  Doesn't have to be official cheer squadn action, surely?

Anything we do as a group is considered official cheer squad activity. We have to abide by the AFL rules - every cheer squad does - or risk steep fines.

Unbelievable. 
 

Be fked if they get any more of my money. 
 

[censored] that. Rather give me money to the Augusta National for spectator entry fees, or any of the Open courses. 
 

And people laugh off conspiracy theories 

It was one thing to go through the experience of watching Gus get ironed out, losing by a whisker and then being abused by pies supporters after the siren when they won anyway.

It was icing on the cake sitting next to the AFL marketing team at lunch in a restaurant the following day. Their complete focus was not on the final series but how they could leverage maximum value for their commercial partners. I appreciate that's their job but seriously, half of them didn't even watch the whole game the night before.

It really turned me off going to AFL games completely.

Still love the game, local footy and the Dees, but I'm not up for the whole bombastic BS they offer.

Go Dee's and love ya Gus

On the afl date on Thursday when I was looking, it said the teams for the kings birthday game will be announced 6:20 Sunday evening

  • 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 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.
