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: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    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?
