    May and TMac come back in. Viney maybe.  Smith played well be will lose his spot.

    We rarely make multiple changes  particularly coming off a win, but I think these are clear upgrades from our 22 today.

    Good game from Smith as well, perhaps Hibberd might feel nervous.

    Doesn’t Viney have another week?

    Edit: nope.

    Just put Brayshaw in the middle for a bit - he's a natural midfielder, and I know he's been doing a great job defensively on that wing, but I reckon he'd be better in the middle than Harmes/Sparrow combined. Who goes on the wing? Harmes? Viney?

    Out: sparrow, Jordan 

    In: may and tmac/Viney  

    I reckon keep smith in

    and put Brayshaw  more in the middle and move rivers or salem in his spot on the wing

    Agree, one minor modification!
    Smith played pretty well, possibly stays as medi-sub, VDB out.

    Think he missed last and alt his week, so good to replace Sparrow!

    The most obvious one is May for Smith. I'll admit I'm terribly biased against him but I didn't rate that game from Smith anywhere near as highly as others. Hasn't curbed his desire to run and push up the ground but was caught out of position a number of times by losing track of his opponent, getting sucked up the ground and then burnt on transition. Very handy depth and good to get a game into him pre-finals if we need him, but he goes straight out if May's fit.

    We're better with Viney than we are with Sparrow or Jordon based on their games today, so I think that's a second change.

    TMac should come back in as well, then the question becomes whether it's the other of Sparrow/Jordon, or Melksham. 

    Brayshaw didn't get near it all day but having played all season, and with the ball on the other wing for lots of the game, I'd be surprised if he gets dropped now.

    Nope, done his 2.

    Sparrow and Jordon both omitted, Smith to make way for May (played well so unfortunate but credit where it’s due).

    Melksham, Brayshaw put on notice.

    If the Bye week gets cancelled then I reckon we should consider a rest for one or two of Jordan, Kozzie, Salem

    Could run Jones in, preserve Smith, and maybe leave Sparrow in (although he's out for finals)

    Salem's been sore for weeks

    I like Spargo, don't get me wrong. Probably Melksham in reality.

    I think its pretty clear cut. Anyone sore other that needs to be managed like May this week. 

    May for Smith

    Viney for Sparrow

    TMac for Melksham

    i'm not sure why they played Salem today to be fair if that is the case

    I can't see them managing people if top 2 are on the line.   Home final in Perth for top or away in Adelaide for 3rd.

    I think the bigger question is what do we do if dogs beat port do we then make some late changes to give some a rest, like bringing in daw for Gawn or giving trac a rest, or do we not flirt with it and go all out to win

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back at the MCG and have a massive challenge ahead of them as they take on Premiership contender the Gold Coast Suns. What do you want to see from the Dees today?

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
