I have no worries if they play him and Lester as they will be under done. Gives us an edge I reckon.

Langton usually plays >90% game time, Brayshaw >85%, so not sure when Jordon has played the wing much.

Also Jordon usually plays 55-70% game time, so not sure he has the tank for the wing

Don't get me wrong. Langdon and Gus are our two wingers for the majority of matches, but Jordon, Melksham and Kozzy have all played some wing time this year.

Listening to Gus and Gawny I reckon Jordan goes to the wing and Sparrow comes in.

I wish it were Sparrow on wing and JJ stays put.

I don't like it at all. Weideman drops too many marks that BB Would swallow! Other than the game vs Geelong in finals Weeds has underachieved. I would much rather have BB at FF Than Weeds. I hope he proves me wrong but I aint counting on it!

Brown’s experiencing the same frustration the Sam had to go through last season. How do you push your case for selection with no way of getting form? Any chance of the leftover players in Victoria can play each other in a toned down practice match in the same vein as last year?

Thought Weid was very close to being in a position to get 4-5 goals last week.  Got his hands to the ball lots of times and competed strongly - he could be very close to hitting top form.

Brown on the other hand looks to be a bit off the pace - if not for the covid situation it would make sense for him to get his form and fitness back at casey so that if Weid doesn't get it together he's a viable option.

It will take time to sort out our best forward half mix, but we will have it ‘nailed’ come September.

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
