Cannot be serious.

Thought both TMac and Weid were good and we won by 11 goals.

Ben can win back his spot just like everyone else.

    Weid out, Brown in.
     

    No  question. There was a moment during the last quarter where he was in spitting distance of a giant who had the ball. Weid just stood there for a couple of seconds before you actually saw the cog turn in his brain that he should try to impact the ball carrier. 
    McDonald would have smothered without even thinking, and that’s why he stays in the side.

    Weed did a pretty good job, though still dropped too many that he got to, but BBBB surely is a given.

    Otherwise absolutely no change (barring injury)

    I don’t recall him ever losing it based on his form. 
    His three finals last year speak volumes (and the rest of his career).
    His inclusion immediately makes us a better side. 
    If either of Tmac’s or Weid’s performance tonight was good enough to keep Brown out I must be watching a different game. 

    Brown will come back in just as Petty did this week.

    He very well might, and I won't be sad if he does.

    Just my opinion that after a win like that I wouldn't be making any 'automatic' changes.

    In, BBB. 

    Out, I really don't know. Probably Weed.

    We might need to keep an eye on Lever's fitness.

    IN: Sideshow Bob

    OUT: Weed

    Toss of the coin between Weed and Plugger Mac but the latter is SO CLOSE to 200 games and is no better / worse than the former at this stage

    Weed competed well tonight but he is in no way as dangerous as Ben Brown. 

    Exactly.  Huge match up problem for tiges.

    Goodwin has showed sentiment doesn't count. Brown is a class above weid and will be picked.

    Brown in. 

    Trac looked to be labouring tonight. I think those whispers are true. 

    Lever didn't look right by the end.

    Tomlinson, Dunstan. 

    It doesn't really matter. We'll keep winning whoever is in or out.

    It'll be Ben Brown for T Mac. 

    Pin this post. 

    Tmac hasn't fired a shot for too long now and Weed deserves another crack after tonight.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
