    Surely Windsor won’t be ready. Rivers back and then Laurie into side and pup a sub. First time I’ve seen that Casey side on paper. Worry about our midfielder depth and therefore it makes sense for Culley to be the SSP

    Windsor and Chandler doubtful, what has Lindsay done to deserve round 1 call up? I'm thinking they will go tall to stretch Gws Defence, Hence Jeffo to play, Culley to also play,plus one other!

    Culley isn’t on the list yet PF and it may be Henderson lining up in a forward pocket….

    Am I the only one amused seeing 'C: Sharp'? If he consistently plays on the wing that must offer a nickname. Piano?

    It does look like that wing position is one we will have to develop over the season, giving a few players regular rotations through and seeing what works.

    I would have Jefferson in the firsts, probably at the expense of Billings who I just feel burned by - I would need to have evidence of a turnaround before I included him.

    "C sharp" is a bugger of a key to play in.  I hope the match committee know what they are doing.

    So our half forward line includes a Fritta and Turner. Augurs well.

    I do not want JvR rucking.

    Hence AJ, Campbell, Fullerton,Verrall, Sestan .... anyone to be in the 23.

    I’m still thinking 2 talls, but we’ll know more about the practice games.

    Im also worried Rivers will have to play back due to needs with McVee out. I’m just not sure we can trust Windsor, Salem, Bowey and Howes as a defensive group. But let’s wait and see if Caleb is even fit and how they go in preseason.

    Wings are also a huge watch. Henderson could come in to the team and slide Sharp to Lindsay’s wing if the kid isn’t ready.

    I think Johnson has to play as we may well need 3 talks in attack plus some non JVR back up for Max. Langdon starts on the wing but gets to rotate through the middle as Sparrow can cover. Spargo plays if he’s properly fit which must be questionable. I’m putting Henderson on the bench as I suspect he’s ready to roll. I’d much prefer McVee over Howes atm and I have concerns over Salems ability to play a whole season. Langford appears the perfect Petracca rotation and I’ve got Laurie as sub as he needs to be rewarded for a strong preseason.

    KP suspended again is a shame.

    Really needs to address this element if he's going to emerge to star status.

    I think Disco is underrated.

    He's the tallest player we have in this fwd line up.

    I wish the club had pick up a very big bodied player with experience as I feel our fwd line lacks firepower still.

    That’s not a good injury to get at a young age.

    Their midfield is quite thin without Green (and Peatling's departure)

    They will need to hope Cogs and Kelly's bodies can hold up

    Love Green as a player but it’s a huge win for us 

    They’ll need Cogs and Kelly to play like they did five years ago or guys like Callaghan to make the step up to match us in there

    Of course they can still beat us on the outside, but we’ll take what we can get!

    You’re short a 7th defender there, unless Riv is really only doing cameos on ball or Bowey is playing back from the forward flank.

    I don’t think Spargo will be rushed this year, they painfully learned that lesson last year.

    There’s a bunch of players who are playing to win their spot in the preseason games - AJ, Jeffo, the new kids, the new men (Sharp and Henderson).

    Not having a go at you in particular but I think fans have to come to grips with the idea that Billings is playing to not lose his spot on the wing. If he’s adequate he’ll get the job in round 1.

    • 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.
