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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Why not mate, we’ve been doing it for days already! 😂

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. 

Posted

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.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
