I’m excited now. Excited for Weid as I’ve been a backer, and this will be the first time he’s had the chance to properly operate in tandem with Brown.

Looking forward to seeing what Dunstan brings. Hopefully he causes a very hard decision to be made when Viney is back next week.

Imagine that, Dunstan plays a 30 posse cracker!

The " changes thread" would blow up!

What I dearly hope to see some day In: Sanity Out: BS health and safety protocols

Jack Viney is a huge loss. His form has been fantastic and complements Trac and Clarrie perfectly. It will be interesting to see how they adjust.

He is better than that and his Form at Casey has been solid if unspectacular. Sometimes players who can play do not shine in lower levels. I expect Dunstan to be very solid and link up well taking Vin

Good balanced changes considering we never want to be without Lever or Viney. 
Massive chance for Dunstan. He would want to have a bloody good game if he’s to displace one of our other mids, which can only be a good thing. 
I imagine it won’t be smooth sailing and it might take a half for him to settle in.

Tigers are missing Dusty and Grimes which just about equals us missing Viney and Lever. 
 

Pretty sure I’d actually prefer to be missing Viney and Lever than Martin and Grimes, and that’s saying something.

Do we know what day their COVID protocols started? Brown didn't come straight back in, but Viney and Lever may be able to at least sneak in a captain's run. Wonder if Goody will look at it differently?

Weid gets to good positions but needs to hang onto more marks. Playing up the ground a bit more (and BBB more from the goal square) i think will suit Weid. Gets him involved in the game, takes the pressure off him to kick a bag. If he increases goal assists, who cares who kicks them. 10 goals from different players in the 3rd last week illustrates this

Happy that the club put faith in him and dropped Tmac. Will put a rocket up both of them

Agree with most Stiffy but no one seems to play from the goal square anymore. BBB will continue to take marks on the wing.

Someone has to start in the goal square after each of our 30 goals this week!

You nailed that.

 

Lucky guess more then anything lol

When Goodwin pumped up Weideman after the Giants game in reference to BB selection I knew straight away Tmac was in trouble.

I believe the AFL has its own protocols that might be different from the new Vic and NSW rules. Probably to keep the 18 clubs on the same page, abundance of caution, etc. Would've thought if they can do a captains run they'd be playing, but who knows

Evidence here that you can change your starting 18 with an extended interchange bench.

Lol, it had to happen after I said I’ve never seen the starting 18 changed before.

Happy with Tmac out rather than Weid

Don't mind it either, but not all that confident Weid will step up

Who is medi-sub? Has Bedford been able to run around for Casey in recent weeks, or has he missed out on playing a few games? If he's missed out, then he should go back to Casey and someone else get a run as Sub

Tomlinson is back strength with a bit of wing flex? Otherwise Melksham utility?

Imagine putting in a poor performance for us with Salem, Viney, Lever, TMac, Hibberd, Tomlinson, Melksham, Bedford, Chandler, Majak, and Mitch Brown ready to come in.

In all seriousness that is half of an AFL quality side ready to go.

We haven’t had such pressure for spots in my 35 years following the demons

good changes. T Mac has been average all year. Weed deserves this chance. 

I won’t be expected amazing things from Dunstan. He has been solid at Casey without being amazing. I will expect him to go hard and put his head over it. Be interesting to see if Sparrow or Jordons roles change

Like many on here, I thought Weid would go before Tmac.

His moment has now  arrived ........ hope he hangs onto those marks.

If Dunstan plays at his best he will be an adequate replacement for Viney.

May will be backline general again - so no problems down there.

That’s the thing, if he can get on the lead he generally does hold onto the marks. It’s the one on one, body on body contests where he struggles… hhhmmm I wonder if we can bring in another big bloke that might complement that… oh look over yonder it’s a Big Benny Brown!

I agree re Bedford medi sub.  Bettter to rotate with a few others if possible and get more games/experience into Bedford at VFL as well as keeping him match fit ready?

Poor bloke must be picking out a few splinters of late

There is no reason Mitch shouldn't be looked at if he kicks the door down at Casey and one or more of the other talls are under performing

Clearly it started yesterday at the earliest, which means they should be done by next Thursday, making it very easy for them to be available for a Saturday afternoon game at home. Can’t see any issues with them missing unless they either have Covid now or catch it during their iso period, which is not even a thing anymore.

Hasn’t Bedford played every game at Casey this year despite being medi sub?

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
