Edit: that said, no doubt there’ll be more COVID during the week. Happy for any of the above “outs” to go around again depending on who’s out. I thought they all contributed really well.

    Depends on who has recovered in time to do some training.

    I would drop TMc for selfishness. Pinched Harmes goal and burnt a bunch of players in good positions to chance a long range goal.  Missed.

    I’ll give him benefit of the doubt on the mark: I thought it was just him losing track of his own location and needing to make a split second decision with the ball about to land on him. It was definitely clumsy and didn’t look good but I don’t think it was an intentional goal steal.

    I agree the long range shot was poor though.

    Bedford would be very stiff to miss out but probably will

    I’d keep him in tbh. 2 clutch goals needs to be rewarded. Kozzy hasn’t had a great year so make him work harder to earn his spot back.

    I'd have Spargo out before Bedford based on today's game

    Not a  knock on Sprago, but Bedford looks good. Has speed and skill

    Bedford + Kozzi hunting in the forward line?   I like it!

    The great unknown. Hopefully all 5 are ok and it was a mild case.

    Bedford will be unlucky to lose his spot but Kossie is more important. Milkshake Dunstan and Chandler will drop back down Smith looks injured and I guess one of Tmac or Weid. Of course we might have more cases during the week.

    I'd keep Bedford to start. Petty is coming back for Smith obviously with his injury. Neal Bullen for Melksham & LJ back for someone. 

    The advantage is McDonald can go back when we need him to. Like in the final quarter where he did ok.

    outs. Spargo Dunstan Smith Melksham Weideman 

    ins. The Covid 5.  Sparrow Anb Petty Jackson Pickett 

    Bedford stays in.  Offers more than Spargo based on todays game.  Bedford and Pickett would be a dangerous combo imv and should be given a few games together.

    feel sorry for Bedford though.

    Well we will have one forced change at least with Smith. Let’s hope Petty is right to go.

    Out: Smith, Dunstan, Tmac, Melksham

    Really torn on Bedford. He played so well. Hard to drop him for Kosi but hard to leave Kosi out.

    Weid v T Mc remains a ???

    Hard to judge today because Sam rucked a fair bit and Tom went down back late.

    Still think if Tom can play just ok footy he’s the right choice because we’re just so top heavy with Weid and Brown.

    my reasoning was that dribble goal Sw missed, Tmac would have nailed it,

    Who chooses Weid over McDonald tonight? Really. McDonald is more aggressive and smart and competes in the air.  Weid hasn’t taken his chances and hasn’t taken a contested mark in weeks.
    Jackson back in and Weid out.  Just my opinion.

    As weird as this sounds the COVID protocols could be a blessing in disguise as it gives players rest which will come in handy come finals time.

    Tmac has more strings to his bow than Weed.

    Weed took a good mark tonight and kicked a goal but doesn't do to much else unfortunately.

    • 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.

    • 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.
