No they won't they will bring in Preuss that's the reason he is on the list. If Viney is injured\rested play the young kid Jordon. Brayshaw will definitely get more midfield time. I think they will stick with Harmes down back. 

Yes I agree that Preuss should come in. He’s the backup Ruck.  I just think goody will use tommy mcd. It’s because goody never seems to go the logical route sometimes.

    Cannot agree on Hannah he is our Kent replacement. Way to inconsistent. 
    Both are good VFL players but just not good enough at senior level. 

    I agree OD.  ANB, Fritta, Hannan & Melk all in a similar boat i reckon.  Fritta tends to do better playing off a wing at times.

    We lack a dangerous HF both in the air and ground level which is why i'd be getting Harmes to play more time forward and pushing Viney up there more often as well.  As we saw last week that paid off a little with a couple of goals.

    The issue though, who else do you bring in?

    I can't imagine that Preuss is match fit.

    If he is uninjured and has been for a few weeks, then he could be as fit as any player not currently in the side.

    He fits the bill RN but every second week you get very little. The trick would  be to know when it is going be the other week and only play him then.


    I am amazed some of the names being thrown up to replace when Goody is on record as saying we only took 29 players to Adelaide for the week. That makes the only potential ins as emergencies from last game which I am pretty sure were The Macs, Rivers and Spargo, Kozzie is also definitely there, so that means only two others, one of which I suggest is Hannan. If Gawn is not playing then I doubt but hope we took Preuss  and if not I suggest TMac will play and LJ will ruck. If Viney as rumoured is also not playing I suggest Rivers will play back and Harmes into the rotation but with Angus getting more midfield time.  Would love to know who the other option we took was though.

    Is it possible that we might fly other players to SA on the same flight as North (to abide the AFL covid protocols)...just a thought...

    OD that probably applies to about one half of our team.  Imagine the ins & outs every week :blink:

    Our FD ain't the brightest going around binman.

    As long as he plays mostly ruck Mr Leg.

    Actually a week's rest for Big Maxy in prep for the following week against his arch enemy Grundy, may not be the worst thing that could happen.  A little protection also against the big body of Goldstein crashing in this week couldn't hurt.

    Might also give the opp a bit of a headache as they won't have alot of data / intel as to where Pruess tends to place the ball with our mids with his tap work.

    Viney and Gawn out. Two massive outs.

    Is Pruess in the hub?  Surely Harmes has to go into the middle and push forward as per his past role now.  Rivers comes in to replace Harmes' role.

    Edited by Rusty Nails

    Guessing Brayshaw goes into the centre for the whole game which just might be a good thing.

    I agree.  If he was sore, then had to be rested versus the bottom placed Crows who had a lower ranked ruckman in O’Brien.  It’s a hmmmm moment.

    Having watched Tmac's manoeuvrability last time he played Preuss would have to be catastrophically unfit for that to rule him out.

    I don’t think Pruess is in Adelaide.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
