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.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
