Best case scenario is McDonald has a scratch on the cornea only. They heal up quickly so he may be available with some luck. Otherwise, bring Brown in.

And Jones for Melksham

 

TMac for Brown if injured. 

If Melksham goes it,  surely Hunt or Jones get first chance? He'd be the only change for me.

Maybe Lockhart for Rivers, but you can't fault Lockharts endeavour or effort.

    Maybe sparrow then. Kid looked great in JLT

    After a win, I'm inclined to go with the absolute minimum of changes.  So, as Nasher said:

    In: Brown

    Out:  Tom McDonald.

    With Chip, Frost and Sicily down there, I think Brown is the way to go with the bigger body.  While Jackson might be tempting, they would out body him all night.  Weid and Brown will at least be able to provide a regular contest.

    Other than that, we stick with the 21 who played tonight.

    Out Melky and Lockhart Tmac

    Would love to play Jackson but not ready yet,

    I think Kossi anit really ready ether but we don't have a better small creative forward

    OUT: TMac (inj), Melksham

    IN: Brown, Jones

    Lockhart and Nev maybe lucky we won't want to change a winning team too much.

    Think Lockhart may  be rested/dropped. Jetta was underwhelming - nearing the end I fear. 

    Jetta looked slow & lost Rankine at two crucial stoppages. It was depressing cause we all love Nev.

    1. Um . . . it's relevant to the thread topic.
    2. Goodwin time and again has shown his ineptitude at the selection table.
    3. There is a reasonable chance it will happen.

    'Goodloss'?

    No offence, but you sound like a five year old saying that.

    Out: T. McDonald (injured), Melksham (should have happened after Carlton game)

    In: Smith (forward), Jones

    Why would you play Smith forward?

    Can someone please explain to me the fascination with this bloke?

    Jetta is cooked, but who would we bring in to replace him? Not sure I'd be bring back Rivers yet.

    Brayshaw might be under the gun. He is a huge worry and unfortunately he just plodded around tonight. Does a Sparrow or Tomlinson come in?

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      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.
