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. 

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. 

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.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
