    Weideman in. Brownie to have a rest. Brayshaw maybe out sore too.

    Is Ben Brown being rested because of the exhaustion of carrying his 2 kids through the banner?

    Not a chance in Demonland of BBB getting rested for Weid.

    Best news ever on Ed. 

    Great news indeed. However, if Ed is feeling the effects of the heavy tackle maybe a weeks rest wouldn't be a bad idea. I"m sure though that Ed would want to play against his old club. Over to you selectors. Viney in if fully fit. Maybe Mitch Brown for Tmac if he has an injury. I think he would offer more than Sam W. imo.

    I'm not sure if this is a p155take, but it's sad if true. Even if T Mac's out injured, Weid is no certainty to replace him.

    Yes it was a wry observation in response to someone's equally wry p155take.

    TMac doesn't handle injury well and Weed shouldn't replace him if he's injured.

    I have no updates on my ex's relationship status in a cottage outside Ballarat but she was happily solo when she visited on mother's day.

    Carry on..

    Can't remember a chicken wing tackle since Chris Judd.

    Brother saw him a couple of weeks ago was definitely hobbling, but by all reports in ripping nick otherwise, rumours of his demise are premature.

    I'd be inclined to leave Dunstan in for a game or three just to see what happens and see if we can't "Melbournise" him. Can't be easy stepping up to AFL level.

    Not saying he's going to really make it either, but I'd give him a bit more of a run before we write him off as nothing more than good depth.

    Well that word has certainly changed its meaning recently! ♥️

    Freos Sam Switkowski has been sent to the tribunal for a chicken wing tackle. I have never heard of him till yesterday.

    So is Sam Switkowski any good and how happy are we if he misses next week?

    Apparently, Fyfe not playing this week.

    I think Dunstan shows glimpses of real class.

    Dunstan can find the pill but his disposal is actually quite poor. Handballs to feet etc.

    I can see why the Saints weren't sold on him. 

     

    That said he is a more than useful fill in for an inside mid.

    Quite good as a small pressure forward. 

    The second question? Meh.

    Jake Lever was quoted in this morning's press assessing Jack Viney as "hopefully touch and go".

    That doesn't inspire a lot of confidence that Viney will play this week.

    I was grinding my teeth watching his early disposals but he started to settle as the game went on. Just remember he has come in cold to a team that has been very settled. Clarry, Trac, Viney and Gawn know exactly where the other one is going to be. Dunstan will take a while to get used to the pace and make that connection with his team mates.

     On a separate note, I would really like to see Bedford get some game time. His chase down of LDU was really something to watch. He has got great pace and endeavour and he can finish around goals okay as well. I’m not sure what his tank is like but I’d prefer to see him in that high half forward role than Melksham.

    I often wonder when players do media whether they even know how another player's injury is tracking. It can be obvious when the player is on crutches or in hospital, of course, but I suspect Lever actually has no idea how close Viney is to playing.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
