If we can ease one defender back each week or two. 
 

What about GC Team?

    Obviously the injuries we have aren't great.

     

    But kudos to the recruiting team. I look at each line and all the players can play decent footy or better, we don't have to bring in the "might be okay" players and hope for the best*

     

    *Smith and Hunt do raise my blood pressure a bit sometimes, but a premiership helps with that a great deal 😈

    Welcome back Riv, the very obvious inclusion for Salo
    Just fantastic that we have the depth to cover injuries that, in the recent past, would have rendered us vulnerable.

    On the basis of exposed VFL practice form looks like Bedford is the sub.

    The opening VFL match is set for 2pm Sunday.

    I wonder if any of the emergencies will make it back

    Wasn't convinced with Hunt last week, I was by Smith but I guess we are playing GC who will be quite quick.

    As expected.

    Good selections and it continues Goodwin's apparent policy of keeping the team settled as much a possible.

    We now have 3 of the premiership defenders back out of the 7 that won the big one. the defence looks solid as long as they keep their structure and systems. plus they will have the experience together of last week to build on.

    Lever back in next week? 

    Midfield looks great as does the forward 50 group. A very attacking interchange group with a flexible tall Ruck/Forward, a small Forward and a couple of mids that can cover inside and out.

    if a small defender goes down we might be thin but we do have Tmac to swing back there if required with one of the taller defenders required to play smaller.

    Dees by 5...... goals

    Empirical evidence suggests otherwise. Wonder boy didn’t raise a beep.

    I thought Hunt was very solid. Nullified Weightman and mopped up well, especially in the first half. Did his job.

    Strong side Riv back in which is great to take over Salem's role we should lose too much with Rivers in and Salem out. Surprised not to see M.Brown in the emergencies played a lot better than Melksham 4 goals is a fair effort.

    I suspect M Brown doesn't make the emergencies because of the Weid...who is primarily there as an emergency should one of Gawn or Jackson not be available on game day. But if a tall forward has to be replaced, I assume Weid has that covered, too.

    I'm more interested in who comes in should we need to replace a defender before the game. After all, there has been some suggestion that Smith may have a hand injury. Would Bedford come in but someone else (Brayshaw? Harmes?) play in the backline with Bedford taking on their role?

    This is a bit harsh on Hunt.

    He got involved, spoiling, picking up possessions, tackling, two way running. He did enough to retain his spot.

    Would have much rathered Dunstan if it is wet which also provides us with rotational grunt at stoppages and freshens up mids for next weeks game vs Injectiondon. Dunstan for Bedford would have been my call.

    Bedford's out of the starting 22.

    Dunstan can still yet replace Bedford as the designated sub.

    Dunstan made the trip.  Sighted boarding bus. Possible medi-sub.

    Would like to see this eventuate!

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
