Aaron Davey, Jack Grimes, Jack Trengove and Clint Bartram have been rested from that loss, while Colin Garland (calf) is injured. (From article)

Brisbane squad-

http://www.lions.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/5085/newsid/108702/default.aspx

Black and Power to return. Good.

Very excited to see Tapscott coming on for his first run. Although I won't actually be seeing it.. Will be interesting to see how the backline holds up with no Garland (anyone know anything about his injury), Grimes or Batram.

Un-pleased about not seeing Blease- would have loved to see if he could play a running half back role as I feel he could be the talent we are screaming out for. What is wrong with him.

Hopefully the great un-washed don't feel it necessary to dish it out to Scully. Someone better be on head-butt patrol.

I really want to see Jurrah rested. An injury to him could cause major issues for our finals hopes.

Needs match fitness- although it's just a shitty NAB Challenge match he will probably be better for it. Can't exclude on the chance of an injury as it could just as easily happen in round 1 (heaven forbid)

Although in saying that would much prefer Jamar have a rest. Give Spencer a full match with Martin backing up. Injury to Jamar will hurt us most.

I tell you right now, if anyone does that near me they'll wish they hadn't. America de cali i'm looking at you!:D

TAPSCOTT! THE MAN WITH THE GIANT NECK! GO YOU GOOD THING!

it's always a bit sad though to watch a game that doesn't include Grimes. Makes me want to cry actually.

Happy with resting all of them. Can see both sides of the coin re Jurrah, he needs continuity to get match fit and get his body used to playing, however it will be a big case of fingers crossed....

Yeah really intrigued with how Tappy will go. If he can live up to half the hype then that will be a great start...

With the backline, i wouldn't be surprised to see Cook playing CHB. No Brown or Fev helps in that regard too.

Un-pleased about not seeing Blease- would have loved to see if he could play a running half back role as I feel he could be the talent we are screaming out for. What is wrong with him.

I believe that he may be another who is having his loads carefully managed. Not through injury, just taking a very cautious approach to ensure his body holds up. I don't have a problem with that.

Hopefully the great un-washed don't feel it necessary to dish it out to Scully. Someone better be on head-butt patrol.

I don't think anyone will.

Maybe we could also stop him from training? After all, he could do himself an injury there as well... and maybe we shouldn't have him play the first few games of season proper as we don't want him out of action for the business end of the season.

Sorry, but I really don't like these suggestions that certain players shouldn't go around because they might get injured... football is what guys like Jurrah do... let them play, let them enjoy it and let them get match fit.

No Frawley, Grimes, Garland (not sure why he's named in the squad) - arguably our 3 best defenders. Bartram out as well. I'd be looking to rest Jamar - he'll have such a big work load in the season I see no reason that he needs 4 practice matches. McDonald is miles off so I'd rather play others with more chance of making it in the round 1 team. Can't wait to hear how Gysberts, Petterd and Tapscott go. Also I think Cook and Nicholson are a decent chance to play AFL this year, I'd love to see them go well.

FB: Bennell Warnock Macdonald

HB: Strauss Rivers Tapscott

C: Jetta Moloney Bail

HF: Bate Watts Petterd

FF: Dunn Jurrah Maric

Foll: Martin Sylvia Scully

Int: Gysberts, Green, Spencer, Jones, Cook, Nicholson

Sub: Howe, Evans

Emer: Jamar, McDonald

I agree with your points, I just hate to see our players get injured in the preseason. It is probably good for him to play, but with his importance to the team it just worries that he could get injured in a 'meaningless' match.

I'm gonna go and take that BEX and have a lie down. Thanks for the tip, C & B.

Shattered I'm going to miss Tapscott's first hit out because I have to go to a wedding.

God people are so rude and selfish, scheduling their wedding on a day Melbourne plays a practice match! :rolleyes: B)

Counting on the good folks at Demonland to provide a full match report.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
