I reckon we need to give Chandler a run. Loved his over the head handball to Spargo for a goal. Dropping him after a week won’t be great for his long term confidence.

In a winning side, playing against a lower side, Chandler gets another week to find the pace of the game. 

Melk was sub, so needs to perform at Casey to push back in.

Chandler has to get another go. But if Jackson is fit - who goes?

 

I was all for getting BBB but he is slow and very clumsy at ground level.

Yeah does LJ come in for Weid or Brown or Chandler?

Any idea how far off Jackson and Viney are? 

no change, unless those guys are fit. 

if they are 

Chandler, Weideman out 

Viney, Jackson in

IN: JACKSON AND MELKSHAM

OUT: WEIDEMAN AND CHANDLER

I'd be tempted to move Tom McDonald up to the wing, get Brayshaw into the middle to help with Clearances and keep Weideman, Jackson and Brown all forward when Jackson is back

Yep. Move our best forward by far out of the forward line. Brilliant.

I expect Chandler to be given 3 or even 4 games. It seems consistent with Goodys changes. The only difference was when Mitch Brown came and went and Id say that Mitch was well aware of his backup position. Id also think that Majak would be under no illusions if he got gifted a game. Different for youngsters and seasoned veterans.

Given he regularly played on the wing when he dominated in 2018 and spent the entire pre season training for that role i'd probably look at knowing what i'm talking about before getting too sarcastic ?

Viney and Jackson are best 22. If fit they both come back in.

i thought the Weid was competing with TMac. Reckon its actually one of the Weid or BB. 

If the club consider Chandler best 22 potential then he deserves another go.

I think it best we go no change unless Viney needs a game before we play the dogs

Actually you don't know what your talking about.  Firstly he didn't play on a wing in 2018 except for brief periods he played as a permanent fwd.

Secondly Goodie has stated ad nauseaum at every presser that McDonald will stay forward & not go anywhere else.

And move Lockett to CHB and Hudson to full back.

I'm shocked how controversial this is, McDonald trained during the pre season as a wing, his strength was his ability to run hard forward and provide a target. and also push back and help the defense. 

he's doing something very similar now, it's just his starting position is slightly different, he regularly pushes right up the ground and runs forward hard.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
