Hunt dropped seems harsh. No idea why Weideman is in unless we are planning to drop Mitch Brown. 
Turner likely debuts if Petty isn’t right to go. 
 

I am still so mad that May isn’t there thanks to his utter stupidity.

Turner plays  imo.

The rest I was wrong about apparently

Does this mean....

In:  Hibb,  Turner (medi sub) ...or the other way round

Out:  Hunt, Bedford (as last week's medi-sub)

No chance a kid debuts as medical sub.

I like Hunt, last few weeks have been a bit poor but he's not alone there. Couple of brain-fades last week seemingly cost him.

Think he is still capable of playing good footy when everyone fit and firing, just last few weeks the backline been impacted by injuries and Lever being a bit out of sort.

Agree Jaded, Hunt unlucky IMO….there’s more than a couple that have struggled the past fortnight.

Fair enough... not sure how these things work hence the other way round bit

Hmmmm. I dunno. I feel like our backline players have taken a fair bit of blame over recent weeks for issues at stoppage and forward of the ball. 

To be fair it probably feels this way because we’ve got no forwards ready to go, as frustrating as that is.

I'd love to see evidence 

You'd see it nearly every week if you had a look.

For example, Jackson Archer has been listed on the extended bench at North on a few occasions this year without making the final team.  He's been named again this week on the extended bench with (new) beside his name.

Surely Hibbo in to get Degoey? I agree that Hunt is unlucky given he's been solid prior to the last 2 weeks.

I wonder why Toby Bedford isn't in the extended bench?? I reckon there's a chance Chandler will play for one of the Browns - the forward line needs a shakeup and adding in an extra small pressure could be exactly what we need.

Fair comment.

Swans 8 goals from turnovers last week, Demons none, we get 3 which isn’t a lot and we win! Not scoring from turnovers isn’t really backline, more mids & forwards.

Week before backline under siege!

Handy to drop 2 and still be a game on top. Let’s stop the rot this week with a win. Haven’t got a great record vs Pies recently but a different team with McCrae as coach!

Piggy for Hunt is likely to be the only change I think. Disco looks like he must be close to stepping up which will be great for our backline options.

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
