I think you'll find brayshaw may well be sub as he is so young and never experienced conditions like Alice springs before.

I'm really not sure what the issue is with the supposed "conditions" in Alice Springs. It will be 26c with a 10% chance of rain and 58% humidity. Melbourne at the same time will be 14c no rain and 63% humidity... really, apart from the temperature, which is not stiflingly hot in the Alice, it's not so different.

Jeffy does the pre game warmup on the ground in his socks .

Actually thats usually what causes betting to be suspended and the odds are adjusted accordingly. We were 3.35 before the suspension 2.95 after it resumed. The bookies always know whats going on even if we dont.

It's probably more accurate to say that the bookies don't know much more than us, but they assume the people betting large sums of money with them do. They respond to unusual and unexpected betting patterns and make changes accordingly.

Always amazes me too hardtack

Both sides have to play in the same conditions.

In this case the team is Port, Adelaide at this time of the year is very similar to Melbourne.

The subject is hardly worth discussing.

26 when you've been training and playing at 10-15 for the last month at least can be a shock to your system, but Adelaide hasn't been much warmer.

I'd pick a running side (as we have) but I wouldn't make the sub decision based on the conditions.

I'd only have Brayshaw sub if it's a load management thing after seeing Salem and JKH get injured and Hogan benefit from a week off.

I'd rather players who can get and use the ball.

Sure. But a close second is stopping opposition players getting and using the ball. Especially key opposition playmakers.

As we know they're in to stop Broadbent and Pittard. A lot of our game strategy will be pinned on this, lets hope they succeed or it will be a very long day of footy tomorrow.

I hear that M Jones and Bail are great runners blah blah blah, can't find the bail or hit a target. Might as well get Morton back, he could run too.

I'd rather players who can get and use the ball.

Morton never blanketed his opponents with his running, Bail and Jones did. Move on.

Even more ludicrous!! You want Bail and Matt Jones as part of a midfield?? Viney Sub?? Doesn't make sense then to drop Riley and Newton!!

Oh I get it,, Hardtack says I'm gonna be surprised by Toumpas!? Maybe we start with Mr.Grunt personified in the midfield?

Could you shut up? When was the last time you watched a melbourne game? Toumpas is coming off a 2 goal, 20 disposal 8 tackle 3 inside 50 game, yet you're still giving him stick. We get it, you don't like him. Your last 400 posts all fins a way to criticize him. Give up man. Go and run a bath, have a cup of tea, change your diet to something with lower cholesterol- your blood pressure is through the roof over 3 players last week that played their roles. Give us a spell of you incessant, tiresome drivel and focus on some of the good. Ffs

In regards to this week's sub:

(From AFL.com.au) Midfielder Jack Viney will also return for the Demons having overcome a fracture in his fibula that has kept him out since the club's loss to Greater Western Sydney in round two.

Roos said Viney was raring to go and the 21-year-old looked in peak condition in a light training session with teammates at the venue on Friday.

"He probably could've played last week but we held him off," Roos said of Viney.

"We'll probably talk about playing him as the sub to start, but he’s ready to play, otherwise he wouldn't be here."

Sounds like Jack "The Bull" Viney is ready to rumble. Bring on the bullfight. Let's hope there is some metaphoric blood spilt.

Picket, people are over you mate. Why don't you pick up your bat and ball and [censored] off. Your an attention seeking little weasel that everyone hates. Now put your pants back on, turn off the lights and leave your bedroom and go outside and get some fresh air.

Ah well we all have our opinions and I just feel, that, mine are somewhat.. provocative to some!

He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.
