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.

      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.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      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?

    • CASEY: Collingwood

      It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
      The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
      Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
