Brown makes us better than either Weid or TMac and so comes in for one of them. I’d keep TMac after tonight. But it’s not an easy decision between the two. 

Keep a watch out on two others though: Lever looked proppy after the game, boots off and limping. No ice from what I could see. And ANB was also limping, and I think maybe had an injury issue this week?

    I thought Trac looked ok not sure y’all getting the looked injured . He was jumping for marks and exploding out of stoppages. I think he’ll be ok.

    Out: Tmac

    There is no chance we will make a change after such a dominant performance. Weid was good he will need a drop of form and Brown to play well in the 2's for Brown to get his spot back. Sorry Ben but you are definitely playing in the 2's next week,. A great problem to have.

    BBB is EASILY superior a player to T.Mac or Weeds... none of which.. ah are in any form to speak of so therefore getting rid of sentiment or try hard or anything else... just play our very best side every week

    BBB IN...EVERY DAY OF THE WEEK!

    Ben Brown in is a no brainer, I could make a argument for for dropping both Wied and Tmac, why not both and give Mitch Brown a call up.

    Ben Brown is the most overrated player on demonland. I will put my house on it that he won't play against the tigers.

    This should be the shortest thread ever. We won by 67 points. 
     

    No change.

    With all due respect. I couldn't disagree any more. Weideman doesn't take the spot of Ben Brown, one of our most important players, just because he played 1 good game 3 weeks ago. Using the same logic, Tomlinson would've stayed in the team and kept Petty out despite Petty being the much better player.

    In: Ben Brown
    Out: Weideman

    Weideman is widely regarded on demonland as being a player that is playing for his career and yet somehow he is still overrated.

    In  BBB, JVR

    Out  TMAC, WEID

    If JVR plays well tomorrow 

    Probably too early for JVR but I like what I see from him, his body looks ready for AFL, Surely he is eyeing off a spot in the one's.

    Weird needs to lead. Too often he was just jogging back inside 50 when he should have been sprinting back.

    Especially in the first half, the ball was kicked so often to Weid and he just didn't succeed.

    I thought I saw ANB cop a nasty cork from the big GWS ruckman in a marking contest.  Ran out the game so hopefully will be fine to go next week.

    Out... this ridiculous showing dissent 50 rule. What is this??? It is the stuff of fifties and sixties schoolyard discipline. A player not even on the mark throws his hands up in mild frustration and gets pinged for 50?? Come on. Happy to have a verbal 50 rule but this is outrageous. AFL need to get rid of this blight on the game. Are we trying to take the human element of frustration totally away? What next? DREAM POLICE pinging blokes for facial expressions depicting dissent?? Get rid of it!

    Let me know where I pick the keys up from. Listen to Goody’s press conference and read between the lines and I suggest Weid stays to partner Benny. That would be the change I would make as well.

    Last year, Hunt lost his place in the team and couldn't get it back. We have to reward form. As good as BBB is, he has to now wait just like he had to last year.  He makes us a better side but our forward line clicked into top gear last night and it looked very, very good.

    No change. Unless Lever is still limping today.

    It's funny, my reading of those comments were, Sam that's what you need to keep doing - that's tbe standard of contest.

    And when you go back to Casey keep focusing on those things - don't get down, you're on the right track.

    I rate him as capable of kicking three in a GF when it’s an actual game. And reality rates him that way too.

    And get ready to hand over your keys. Perhaps Demonland should get your house? Imagine the servers this thing could run on with $200k? $300k? What are we looking at here?

    My reading was, competition is tight and we haven’t decided yet.

    Brown will come in for one of them, but I don’t know how you’d decide which. I thought Weid looked more dangerous aerially, but TMac was crucially involved in a lot of scoring passages. I thought both were good. It’ll probably be Weid but I can see reason in all the possible options.

    Weid did some really good things last night. He was playing BBB role to a tee and got up the ground regularly, even brought the ball to the ground. 

    He was a F50 target on many occasions but didn't clunk a few he should have.

    He will be stiff but he ain't no BBB sadly.

    • 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.

      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?
