The Giants are still in the running for a wild card finals berth while the Demons have nothing to play for just two years after winning a premiership.

They meet on Saturday at the ungodly hour of 11:35am.

Why so early?

    Hustwaite was reported to have had a foot stress fracture.

    I don’t mind the 2’s kicking the dew off the grass before the main event.  Bad news is that if Dees hold over multiple emergencies Casey will be short handed again….

    Both are out for the season with long term injuries which is disappointing for the club as it was hoping that these two would represent the man body of experienced VFL players along with Mitch White. They were basically the replacements for the likes of Jimmy Munro and Matt Buntine and these players are important at AFL aligned clubs for the steadiness and consistency they bring.

    Thanks @KC from Casey agree Hustwaite and Connolly were excellent recruits and showed great form in the first 3 games.  Their absence cannot be underestimated given our lack of depth and player turnover.  
     

    It appears Ben Brown is unofficially retired.  He had struggled to play two games back to back all year.  In his 5 games (6 goals) , we could see how immobile he’d become and his knees simply are rendering him unable to bend.  Such a shame to see him finish like this.  Given we have Jefferson & Kentfield to develop, it’s probably best that he announce his retirement.

    I like how we have recently shifted Schache to CHB to assist the development of Jeffo and Kentfield forward. I actually thought he looked decent down there last week in tough conditions.

    Looking forward to a festival of football. Noah Yze and Roy George named on the bench. Pickett reporting on the other side of the fence. But whether the weather will wind, wuther and wrain?

    Answer my own question; It’s overcast , very dull and mercifully dry. Wind appears to be a factor leaves boughs and branches moving in the background. Roy George mark but no chocolates.

    Jefferson surprisingly good at ground level. Impressive.  Pity the delivery to him is below par. Be nice to see him show off his marking prowess.

    10 minutes ago, whatwhat say what said:

    casey is simply not shutting down the space and the uw$ are running into a lot of space

    sparrow's lack of defensive running shows a real lack of effort

    since i wrote this he's had an extra 6 disposals and 4 clearances, plus a monster tackle that helped set up verrall's goal just now

    • 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.
