    Looks to me like Vanders or Jordon for Viney, Weideman on standby for TMac.

    Harmes named on the field just to troll everyone who made the laughable suggestion that he’d be dropped. 

    Oh come on Nasher, it was hardly laughable to question whether he had a good game last week. Just because you disagree doesn't make it a ridiculous suggestion.

    I'd go Jordon for Viney and vandenBerg the sub. But it wouldn't be ridiculous to try Melksham in Viney's role, with a greater portion of time spent in the forward line.

    Weideman the late call up if TMac doesn't make it.

    J Smith named just to frustrate me.

    I’d bring in Vanders for Viney, let him play his 50th in front of a crowd.

    Meanwhile West Coast has made a big statement by dropping Xavier O'Neill and putting Waterman, Hutchings, Rotham and West on their extended bench...

    But seriously, if Vardy plays (and I think there's a fair chance he will, to provide ruck support for Naitanui who will blow up after 15 minutes of trying to follow Gawn and Jackson around the ground), I hope we're into him from the first bounce. For whatever reason I cannot and won't forget him mocking Gawn after Ryan took mark of the year on his head in 2019.

    Also means no Barrass, Ryan or Shuey for West Coast this week.

    I know it was always going to happen, but I love that they stuck with Bowser.  Looked completely at home in his debut last weekend, and adds a valuable touch of class.

    Wasn't that long ago you thought Harmes might come out for Melksham or vandenBerg mate...

    Nah, I did actually laugh when I saw those suggestions and I did think it was ridiculous. His game was imperfect, and he’s an imperfect player, but there was a massive overreaction on here to one or two poor bits of play. He was never going to be dropped.

    So? I never said I get it right all the time, in fact I most certainly don’t. I just thought this one was a pretty easy situation to read.

    Alright mate, bit 'sharp' lately compared to the chill Nash we've always known, hope things are ok.

    Will be interesting to see what happens with TMAC. I don't think he would have gone if they were worried about him playing.

    According to Ben Gibson, T Mac hasn’t taken part in full training just yet over there but they’re confident he’ll be right.

    Can the Monday teams be fiddled around with or are Shuey and Barrass certain non inclusions?

    Shuey usually kills us.

    Not if they're not named in the emergencies.

    no Hibberd is a little surprising... will be interesting to see how the defence structures up against a more agressive forward line than that which GCS served up last week.

    Pretty sure you could arrange a training mishap   and then put up another emergency, probably be a fine but they would not be stopped

    Unfortunately I think he's finished. His past couple of games he's looked cooked.

    Then what? They have to arrange another training mishap to get them into the side.

    not convinced that Bowey is the right replacement though. Could be interesting.

    Seems Lockhart has missed his chance

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
