I'm not.

I hope he plays exactly the re he has all year. And I suspect he will.

Indeed.

In Gus and Max’s podcast with Harmes, they talked about players all having a second position/role. Guess we might find out today whose second position is “inside mid”.

I suspect Viney will just be covered by half forwards such as Melksham and Kozzy spending more time in the middle.

Melksham and Gus to spend time in the guts you’d think

Really looking forward to see how our forward structure works today.

Mfc has done an extroadinary job in creating one of the best backlines in the comp.

Clubs would score big against us and now we concede very little.

Our midfield seems to be going from strength to strength.

Now lets get our fwd line doing the same.

To be honest its actually being firing quite well. We have been scoring well despite not having a big ff kicking  a bag or two every week.

We have also been quite inaccurate.

Having said all this we have the firepower to kick 100 points plus every week.

Just need to find the right combo.

Would be interesting to see how Baker does at HFF. See what he is like around goals

no risks with Viney. Good to see

[Chook 15,022]

Brayshaw should go nowhere now that he's finally found a good spot on the wing. Perhaps we can try it when the game is done and shift McDonald to the wing to see what that looks like, but our best side has Brayshaw on the wing.

[DubDee 26,191]

Predicting Fritsch to have 10+ scoring shots today. Whether that equates to 3 or 8 goals is up to him

Another really good test for Baker - if he is the one to replace Viney (although Chandler might have been handy but played the last match with Casey Thurs night). Baker needs another test or two as his genuine pace gives us a three-pronged, full ground speedway (Hunt, 'Baker', Kozzie/Spargo) that is very handy for spacemakers. Enjoy the game, folks. We have got this one.

much preferred to the 3:20 time slot which in winter means it's cold and dark by games end.

With Ben Brown finally coming in I'm having a happy moment remembering how worried so many people were that our season would be over by now.

Some people were even getting aggressive at anyone who stayed positive after the loss to the Dogs in the pre-season.

Keep the run going, Demons - you could actually change personalities!

nah I'm confident it's nothing serious. He's obviously a late withdrawal due to soreness.  so it can't be too bad. I'm sure he'd play if it was against anyone else.  Using the week to rest him.

Yup. I’d say we out number North supporters 10 to 1

[MurDoc516 1,529]

Viney out (Toe) Baker in, Jones sub

[BDA 22,957]

Hopefully not a serious flare-up and Viney's withdrawal is just precautionery

Can;t see Baker playing anywhere other than wing so reckon Gus plays inside

Perhaps Brown goes into Melksham's spot and Melksham goes into the middle (at least more often)?

[Lil_red_fire_engine 11,262]

Whilst late outs are disappointing any sign of  any level of soreness related or near his foot we need to back Viney off. Hopefully that is all it is. Interesting to select Baker over Jones even with the late out. Hopefully we don’t mess with Brayshaw on the wing just as he is getting it. I would prefer to see Pickett rotated through the pivot more with Melksham and have Baker play half forward and relieve as third winger. This is the challenge with Casey playing Thursday and us Sunday that I suspect if both were today Sparrow would have bee named emergency and been played. Instead he had to play Thursday to avoid missing a week without a full game of conditioning.
