Anyone available comes in in the backline. Hopefully Lever, desperately need to get things a bit more organised down there, but suspect it'll be another week from comments on the footy show. Thursday will come around quickly.

    Brown won't come in, he's only out of quarantine on Thursday, and will have had a week without full training. Could be wrong, but I'd be surprised.

    I'll drop him off an exercise bike if that's what it takes

    Bring in the other Brown then.

    McDonald has not played a decent game since the Port Adelaide game last year.

    Can't continue to carry a bloke that's had zero influence.

    So? He can train at home. He can fly in the morning for a night game. 
    Zero chance he won’t play if he’s allowed to. Ben Brown after a week of iso is still better than Tom McDonald.

     

    In: Brown 

    Out: McDonald

    Goody won't make too many changes

    Lever for Hunt and if BB ready to play he should come in for TMac. Can't drop the Weid after 4 goals

    Greatest change we need for next week is an attitude adjustment.

    Apologies to Clarry and Gus, tremendous games.

    If Ben Brown not available, both TMac and and Weid stay in. TMac has had a really poor year so far and needs time at Casey, but he stays in until Ben Brown available. Mitch Brown will get seriously exposed at AFl level - he is injury cover now.

    AS I am typing, just now in the media conference, Goody just said both Brown and Lever are likely available for next week. 

    I actually think one of Spargo or Kozzie need a break - both have been ineffective for most of this year, but unlikely to happen.

    OUT: TMac, Smith

    IN: B Brown, Lever

    Brown straight back. Weid holds TMac out. TMac either goes back or dropped. 

    Lever back. Hunt out I think. 

    We can’t get the four missing defenders back quick enough.

    Thought Smith was solid tonight. He won’t miss next week.

    He won’t be dropped and nor should he but he wasn’t great tonight and our biggest problem right now is mistakes in our back half, which he, Hunt and Tomlinson are largely responsible for.

    We played a tough game in really hard conditions 6 days ago and have most of our backline out, the players deserve a bit more credit 

    We won by 5 goals

    He had a double pressure smother that then went down the other end when the game was there to be grabbed. 

    He is not missing, mate, you’re not looking at the right things.

    Goodwin just said Lever and Brown to play next week.

    IF that is the case BBB for TMCD and Lever for Hunt or maybe Tommo?  Smith?  

    It will be Brown for TMac and Lever for Tomlinson. Kozzie must be on thin ice if Bedford has a quality game tomorrow but playing Thursday night will limit the likelihood of changes for those who play today. For those saying Brown wont play that would go against Goody saying he would be available in the press conference.

    • 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?
