May and Pickett both named. The only defensive emergency cover is Howes.

McVee, Kentfield and Jefferson all returning via VFL.

In: Fullarton, Tholstrup, Turner

Out: Fritsch, Henderson, JVR (all dropped)

My initial thought: WTF are we doing

Exactly what we should rewarding form and standards. Sparrow should have been ommitted as well and Kolt straight in says more about what available below.

NO JEFFO ?? HE WAS PREFERRED ROUND 1 IS FIT, WTF GOODY????


Clown school, none of our elite midfielders dropped. Goody hasn’t quite yet worked out the fwds may not be the problem. The sooner he’s gone the better.

Yeah but we’re dropping Fritsch after his best game of the last month, bringing Turner back after one week and no Casey game (so why TF did we drop him last week) and Kolt comes back without a VFL game. It’s haphazard.

Midflieds turn next week

 

Demons selections are just as confusing as Trumps flip flopping tariff wars.

Yeah let’s put Fullarton in for his first game against one of the best back lines in the league yet we had the chance to play him last week against a shizen Bombers backline. Makes perfect sense.

A few suggestions that Fritta should be dropped this week.

Given he wasn't dropped after hitting rock bottom in round 3, and actually playing better footy the last 2 weeks including a sizzling goal from the 50 arc, I'd have his omission chances at approximately 0% this week.

Aged well

Best game? He refused to chase again and celebrates a goal when we are getting pumped. This surely is not surprising.

Haphazard at bloody best!


It's the timing that I can't understand..

We needed these changes a couple of weeks ago.

Turner and Fullerton now after no Casey last week?

Fritch now after he was finally beginning to show signs of turning a corner?

And of course who could forget the classic instant "in" after a long injury lay off in Tholstrup.

I dont agree with Kolt in with no match fitness just like I didnt agree with it with Melksham or Spargo. Fritsch game had more possession but his game was poor. I agree we are making changes that should have happened the week before ie: Fullerton in JVR/Fritsch out. I dont understand how Sparrow has survived and think we should have had more like 5 out then 3 but have no issue with the 3 chosen.

Fritsch 10 weeks too late

Next the Butchers in the midfield - anyone that bombs it in a fails to hit a target -drop them

Oscar McDonald will be the 2nd ruck for Fremantle according to Justin Longmuir's press conference today. Interesting to see how Oscar plays


Goodwin totally clueless!

Yeah. Best game. Relative to the ones before.

It’s surprising that it’s happened this week, when it didn’t happen for the last 3 weeks.

Yeah, I think we actually largely agree on all this. I also think dropping 3 forwards but no mids in one week is unhelpful when a significant portion of our problem is in the midfield.

  • 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.

  • 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.
