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!

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.

Only a handful of years ago we had zero quality depth. I shakes me head at how times have changed!

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

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.

Dunstan got 3 Brownlow votes against Richmond last year.

He's welcome to grab another 2 votes behind the great CP5 on Sunday.

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?


Not sure Weid is better than Tmac

but he is a lot younger and possibly will play the same role in 2 years 

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.

I’m praying Weideman takes this opportunity & takes off.

if they reach their potential both Weids & Van Rooyen could be an awesome combo going forward.

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

1 hour ago, Bitter but optimistic said:

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

We've all wanted a run of Weid in the side and now he's played a handful, the real test now is how he gels/works with BBB. Hope he takes it.

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?

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
