Looks like Viney, Lever and Weideman will go out and Dunstan, Smith and Brown in.

Doubt Dunstan. Sparrow will put in more on ball minutes to cover Viney. His big chance. Also Brayshaw....

    Weed is in the starting 18 so he plays. Forward line with Brown, weed and t-mac is fraught with danger. It surely won't line up like that though. I don't like having lever out of the side and this only reminds me of what a load of [censored] these hs protocols are.

    Are the 18 on the field locked in? Brown, TMac and Weideman all there. 

    I have the exact same questions!

    Doesn't Weid being named in the 18 mean he's definitely playing though?

    That’s what I thought. 
     

    It seems that T Mac might be pushed back.

    Interesting that they have Brown replacing Viney thought Dunstan would get a go. Brown should be in the VFL we are now too tall.

    What I dearly hope to see some day

    In: Sanity

    Out: BS health and safety protocols

    I suggest Tmac goes back and Gus goes to the wing with JJ in the middle to help out without Viney.

    Protocols end tomorrow night, maybe they have it.

    The protocols ending wouldn't mean that anyone in them before then just gets to walk out though I wouldn't think.

    Also the AFL would have to allow the unnamed players to play.

    I doubt that that team is set… although it confusing and it leads one to think that we are playing all three tall fwds.

    I'm not going to waste too much time on suggested ins and outs 3 days away from a game when we already have 2 players out with H & S protocols. A lot can happen between now and then.

    Final teams by tomorrow evening i believe so the starting 18 is still open.

    Gut feel instincts (ie; throw a dart)...

    Smith possibly coming in for Lever,  Bedford for Viney with Sparrow / Harmes to share more of the Viney role between them?  Mostly Sparrow.  Harmes still playing his usual hybrid MF/HF role with a little more bias toward MF minutes?  Bedford to get a bit of MF time with these two but more as a high HF/Mid when these two are off and or pushing forward.

    Terrible luck if Viney and Lever are just close contacts and missed the end of the BS rules by 1 day!

    Not a fan of Dunstan getting a run. I would rather move Brayshaw into the middle, keep Jordon and Langdon on the wings, and move Bedford onto the bench. It just looks unresloved and messy with that many names on the board.

    A late withdrawal of one of Weid, TMac, Brown or possibly Jackson isn't beyond the realms of possibility

    We don’t play those games.

    Well, the pecking order in the back line has become a little clearer but Brown, McDonald and Weideman up front? 

    Tom Sparrow to take Viney's spot in the middle? 

    As for the oppo other than Rioli I've never heard of any of their ins.

    Yes we do. Lever was out earlier in the season on the quiet and pulled out ‘at the last minute’.

    We’re a footy club, not saints.

    Based on the 18 picked

    IN Smith and Brown

    OUT Viney Lever

    T Mac to play back/utility. We do look tall but. 

  • Quote

    With 2 forced changes do we want to take a total of 3 out of a winning side? (that is also 5 & 0)

    So T-Mac & Weid to stay with T-Mac going back? 

    Bedford comes in you'd imagine along with BBB

    Dunstan as the sub?  Or maybe Smith for some added versatility (if needed)

    Goody has already said we wont play 3 key forwards. I wont put any thought into the 18 named on field and just absorb the outs and wait until the final 22 is announced tomorrow. Shame about the 2 out for protocols but it is what it is. Will be interesting to see how they cover Viney’s midfield time.

    • AFLW REPORT: Gold Coast

      The forecast said wind. The ladder said mismatch. The scoreboard said obliteration. Melbourne didn’t just beat Gold Coast — they dismantled them: 13.15 (93) to 0.6 (6). An 87-point obliteration, the Suns held goalless, and the Demons delivering their second-highest winning margin and third-highest score in AFLW history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #28 Will Verrall

      It was a tough ask for him to break through as a 199cm ruckman in the shadow of an all-time great in that position who is also the club captain. He had some good days at Casey but was unable to progress and was delisted at the end of the season.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #29 Tom Campbell

      The 33-year-old Campbell has yet to play AFL football for Melbourne, but his Casey form has been strong and he has been retained as a ready-made ruck depth option who is widely regarded as someone who is excellent for the culture of the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #30 Harry Sharp 

      The Demons acquired an interesting player in Sharp, who narrowly missed securing a spot in the Lions’ premiership team last year. The 22-year-old medium forward played in the opening round this season and ended up with 18 senior games, although he was substituted in or out in for ten of those matches. He demonstrated glimpses of form, but ultimately ended the year on the margins of the team.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

      Worked his way back after a slow start and a further slump in form going into the midseason but became a solid contributor for the club in the latter half of 2025. Closing in on 300 goals for the club.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.
