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!

    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. 

  • Quote

    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)

    We do if one of them needs a fitness test leading into the game

    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.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

      The Demons come face to face with St. Kilda for the second time this season for their return clash at Marvel Stadium on Sunday. Who comes in and who goes out?
