    Bummer. I'll be out in Coburg tomorrow morning. Pity it's being played out in Terra Nullius.

    Spargo returns. Billings and Adams the travelling emergencies.

    Looking forward to seeing how Kentfield goes without JvR next to him.

    I have always wondered why the Casey Demon logo looks so unnecessarily amateurish. Taking into account that they are second tier compared to the MFC but that logo looks like it was made by some kid in Year 8, circa 2005

    Casey by 8 goals. Bonner to have 35 possessions. Campbell to have 52 hitouts. Spargo to kick 5 goals and have 32 possessions against the VFL level part timers. Surely Kentfield kicks at least 4 goals this week.

    Coburg have been traditional wooden spooners in the VFL often with zero wins or thereabouts for the season.

    This year is different with six wins and only one spot behind us.

    With our travelling AFL emergencies not available could be a tough match

    With Lever’s levitation, Marty’s season ending injury and Adam’s Adelaide adventure. The defence cupboard is looking slightly Xposed. Although a refresh with Bryce, Freeman and Lual is a positive given last week’s struggles in Qld.

    Paddy Cross is a welcome return up forward, knows where the goal posts are. What was equally perplexing last week with Will Verrall’s limited time on field, was Taj Woewodin’s extended time on the pine.

    Anything could happen in this match. They’ve been pretty active recruiting – though not as active as Casey. They are missing Keogh in ruck but have replaced him with Furphy from Geelong, who has very little impact around the ground. Gentile usually has a big game against us. It would be nice if somebody could stop that – Baldi? Woey??

    Bytel, Gentile and Allison up forward are quality players. Baldi tagging Gentile is the most obvious coaching move of the week.

    It will never happen

    FYI @paul Amy reports

    Worth noting that Casey Demons talent Roy George has made a mid-season move in the VFL, joining the busy Port Melbourne.

    I wonder if that is because we put a line through his name at Casey or something else.

    I really thought he had some tricks.

    Windsor playing the guts and looks to have some urgency about his game today.

    Big Tom Campbell dominating in the ruck.

    Pup Brown busy. Spargo one handed hand pass. Free to Coburg.

    Windsor Culley Mentha buzzing around the packs.

    Will Verrall some good touches and a mark in defence.

    Caleb Windsor snap misses major entry.

    Hardie with Casey’s second after a horrible turnover by Coburg.

    I mean this in a less narky way than it sounds, genuine question.

    What are Ricky Mentha’s strengths supposed to be? Cos he’s been done for pace a couple of times already and whenever I’ve watched him appears to be an iffy kick…

    The umpiring standard at VFL is disgusting. Four free kicks to Coburg when the player clearly leads with their head.

    • 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.
