If Gawn is not 100% he needs to rest. Too important to risk. 
Just play Weideman or Daw.

    Query over Lever and Gawn.

    Depends on how Lever pulled up. Icing on corkie for a few days and see how the bleeding goes. Got full 7 days recovery so should be ok.  

    Might just rest Gawn in any event.  Unleash Jackson v Eagles and put Majak in as backup ruck.  

    I would have thought Weideman would be picked ahead of Majak, should Gawn not play.

    Would love to see Majak get a game for us but agree they'd probably go SW, especially against this current lot of Eagles. 

     

    Out: Lever, Gawn

    In: Tommo and Weid

    Would love to see Bailey Laurie get a couple of games before the season ends. JvR too.

    Majak's rucking at Casey has been first class.

    If Gawn misses Majak in please

    Totally agree.

    Deserves a game in the ones.

    But if history is anything to go by, then no one will be managed or rested.

    Only players with an injury are likely to come out

    I love Weid, but from all accounts Majak deserves a go at Ruck if a Ruckman is required, has some highlights against Nic Nat too.

    I’m sure the boys are looking forward to returning to the scene of last year’s grand final.

    I wonder if we’ll have the majority of the fans at the game.

    Trust West Coast to get a heap of players back this week… and still lose

    Of course Yeo comes back for us. He absolutely hates us, can see it written all over his face when he plays us

    He's checked out this year.

    His attitude in all games this year has been absolutely pox. His a shadow of his former self now and I don't expect him to be back to his best again.

    Gawn and Lever will be rested.

    Weideman and Tomlinson will come in.

    I've always felt like Lever takes a few weeks to find his groove on any return though, whether it is form, pace of the game or "match fitness" I'm not sure.

    So it might depend on whether the coaches this his current slow going is lack of fitness or just needing time to bed down the "match fitness".

    That being said, if he has an actual injury I'm not against a week off resting for anyone the next few weeks; I want to be fully fit for Brisbane late June.

    I may be wrong here but I thought that Goodwin mentioned in his press conference that Lever got and then played with a corked calf?  
    I could be wrong and don’t mind if someone corrects me.

    I'd play conservative with Gawn and Lever especially against West Coast. The sub will be interesting if Bedford is the sub then that could be 2 weeks without any football. I think they will go with a different sub maybe Chandler and do they go 2 emergencies in away games? Then I'd have Melksham and Dunstan as the emergencies.

    No idea why you keep naming Langdon on the members wing.

    Elliot Yeo was due to play this week after being out with concussion.  He has now gone into covid protocol so won't be available.

    Might be a bit hard Werridee for Melk and Dunstan to play 12 noon Sunday for Casey and then get to Perth to be emergencies.

    That is still 332 less than the last 24 hours in Victoria though.

    Wow. This could be a 200 point win coming up.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

      The Demons come face to face with St. Kilda for the second time this season for their return clash at Marvel Stadium on Sunday. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
