One out in each line so each part of the ground should continue to function as normal.

No surprises for each other which is good re our system and positioning.

Smith and Dunstan stay in and Toby gets a run, at last!

Dees by 25 points.

    Not a lot of midfield cover in the listed emergencies.

    All in all we don’t really loose much if anything on balance vs the team we fielded last week

    Correct. Team looks pretty good on paper. Would rather not lose any more, however.

    Still a strong team and should be enough to beat Hawthorn

    A good opportunity for Smith and Dunstan (and now Bedford) to get another taste of the system and the way we play that they otherwise might not have had. They will need that knowledge if COVID or injury strikes. Also gives either TMac or Weid some valuable Ruck exposure in game time.

    Still a very strong team, which highlights the depth of our list, and how well they are drilled.  No doubt the envy of 17 other clubs!

    Yes. Its all about the squad - you need 25-30 good players. (Which we have). Premier League teams regularly swap several players depending on the fixtures coming up. West Ham has a big European match coming up tomorrow morning; in preparation they rested nearly half the side for a League match - against a strong Chelsea. (Lost 1-0 late in the game.)

    This year we have had up to 2 players missing ( except rd1 with more ). That is also  good players. Now it is 4 and this may have a telling effect. In a sense it is good some other players are getting a run but we don't want to drop one against the hawks.

    Petty is a big out. Love what he brings

    Agreed. But may  lever rivers bowey supported by smith and hunt give me confidence. 

    And Jack around the ball.

    The positive is a lot of players are getting a nice rest.

    Agree we don't want to drop one, but on paper even  this dees side is way better than the dawks

    Shiel’s is a good in. Otherwise it’s not the same side that looked so good against the cats. CJ, Mitchell Lewis, Ward, Phillips, Reeves, Grainger-Barass all out of that team. Outs not as talented as our ours, but significant nonetheless.

    Hawks fans are busy reminiscing about Hodge’s debut, they have given up on grasping at straws already. Brayshaw  can also be a mid not worried there.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back at the MCG and have a massive challenge ahead of them as they take on Premiership contender the Gold Coast Suns. What do you want to see from the Dees today?

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
