How come when you play on a Monday there seems to be no timeframe for naming a team? Given the games' tomorrow I thought they would have had to announce a team by late yesterday... 

It’s [censored]. It’s probably just so that Pathetic lames TV station 7 can name it at the news.

    Clarrie clearly had other things on his mind. I asked him how are you and he said, “starving!” 😁

    Speaking of a painful end, I just sat in a puddle on a bench. Not drops of water… an actual puddle. And now my ‘end’ is threatening to join the Let’s Deprive Her Of All Feeling list. The things one does for one’s Club 😑

    How’s the hair holding up WCW?

    Bloody hell it looks cold! I’m at the airport about to fly down, I haven’t packed for the conditions…..

    Here’s how cold it is… I’m 100% a winter person and I’m soooo cold right now. And that’s with the appropriate clothing. So, in short… you’re screwed.

    No it’s to give Goody enough time to reinforce his house with 6in steel cladding in readiness for when he names McAdam and Petty. 🙄

    Meanwhile it's the first sunny day in Sydney in almost two weeks!  Perfect weather to *checks notes* ...be stuck inside packing to move houses

    Is moving house your hobby or something? You seem to do it every five minutes. Here’s an idea: next time you move house… move back to Melbz. 😃

    Disco was in a particularly good mood today. Very buoyant and happy. Idk if that has anything to do with selections though, but it was nice to see.

    Ah, I was just in the area, had I known training was on I would have dropped past.

    I suspect it's in JvR, Howes, Billings and Laurie.

    Out: Hunter, Tomlinson, McAdam and Woewodin (may have missed him in the training video).

    I'd be surprised if those doing the captains run are burning down to Casey fields for a game.

    Hunter is a definite out, maybe JvR for Hunter only.

    Au contraire, given I'm not the organising type!  But the rental market in Syd was so bad I only got a 6 mth lease.  Now I'm moving to a forever* home which should put a stop to all this silliness!  Still going to be near the SCG though 😁  it's just not the weekend if you don't hear the stadium sirens!

    *at least until I eventually move back to Melb

    Think I spotted Howes, Turner, Billings, Laurie and K Brown in those videos. Maybe k Brown as carry over emergency?

    Special thanks to @WalkingCivilWar

    Thanks once again WCW for your generous offerings.

    I wonder if that means that none of these will be at Casey with multiple hold over emergencies?  And, of course, yet another bloody bye next week so some poor buggers will not get a gig for 3 weeks or so.  Not good enough this as a "support" or "development" competition.

    WCW - can you recall seeing any of last week's team (other than Hunter) NOT there?

    Did any of the apparent extras seem to dash for a car to head to Casey?

    While I was taking this pic Salo said, “There she is.” Idk if that’s a good or a bad thing 😅

    Maysi looks like he’s holding his left hammy😧.

    Then again half our team looks to have an injury looking gait. Maybe it’s to confuse the opposition.

    I reckon It will be:

    Out: Hunter, McAdam, Tomlinson

    In: Laurie, JvR, Howes

    Tomlinson had a shocker last week and the Pies have a very short forward line so I think Howes will come in for him.

    Anyone but Laurie, please. Has shown nothing and doesn't look at all like a player who would rise on a stage like King's Birthday.

    Have similar feelings about Howes, had some shaky moments in bigger games while he was in the team.

    Unfortunately we don't really have any other options. Billings is just as bad as Laurie.

    Thanks WCW greatly appreciated, it looks very wet and cold at Gosh’s great effort on your part.😁

    Give Howes a chance he's only a kid and he's also done some good things he just needs experience.

    The smile's hard to read, W. I'd err on the side of caution, nice boy that Christian is, notwithstanding.

    • 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.
