But why at Casey which means that the four travelling emergencies won't see a game.

Will be interesting to see if Billings plays. Not sure what his plans are post AFL but a mid season retirement might be on the cards.

Yet another example of the farce they call the VFL. Surely Sunday in Southport would have been the common sense fixturing. Travelling emergencies would then get a game.

 

I really hope that the clubs are putting it to the AFL hierarchy, need to get the media focussed on this farcical situation regarding the second highest tier of Aussie Rules that appears to be handicapping most league sides. Probably won’t get any traction with the so called media, can’t bite the hand that feeds you.

O Green in - Brads son?

strong Casey side in this week.

Different Oliver Green, played for Sandy dragons last year if I'm not mistaken.

Brads son is only 14 or 15.

 

Lachie Bryce and Paddy Cross are stiff to be omitted. Those AFL listed inclusions returning from injury or dropped from the firsts have priority obviously. Are Blake Howes and Tom Fullerton certain to play? Listed as emergencies v Lions. Aiden Johnson has got his ticket. Bailey Laurie ever the bridesmaid.

As DeeZone says, what an absolute bloody farce.

VFL is NOT even half a support competition.

Dillon should put his foot down and let the VFL know they are not up to scratch and risk being completely sidelined if they can’t show some plain common sense.

Noted today that VFL Sydney V Carlton was played at 3:05 pm, at the SCG before the main game.

Obviously the Gabba surface cannot handle 2 games in a row.

Or it’s just us?

Wow - 18 AFL listed players, the most I can recall for years - just Hore and Viney not named to play this weekend......

Dees likely to have 2 travelling emergencies as seems to be our MFC peculiarity. Still agree it’s an AFL player listed team this week.

The AFL run the VFL. They are responsible for its demise.

Bryce and Cross were very good last week. No stats padding like a few AFL listed others. Best last week were K.Brown, Bryce, Laurie, Campbell, Hardie, Kentfield & Cross. Definitely like to see Bryce given more games as he shows he could be a draftee chance at years end.

AMW and McAdam also miss. I miss them and held high hopes for both this year.

Does the man mountain still ruck for the Sharks?

Expecting a slog in the wet but at least not much wind

Goober? Hopefully, he is one of my faves.

What's badly needed is a stand alone AFL reserves comp, and as you all know I've been saying this since the dawn of time!

Appears Cream is on the red-eye to BrisVegas. An opportunity in positions vacant exists for a young tall to stand up. Bryce and Cross are named on the bench.

  • 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.
