    They will take some solace that we have been poor aerially and with Big Max out imthey still have the advantage from selection. 
     

    Weed has to make Andrew’s accountable there is no doubt about it.

    Their ins aren't a patch on their outs.  Weakens them considerably.

    The three ins have barely 80 games between them.  I think Tunstill is a debutant.

    It shows they have very little depth beyond their best 22. 

    Dees by 3 goals!!

    Gardiner out is big as well. He is their second tall key defender.

    I don't get how rucks will work. Max has a superhuman tank. He's out. What will be the rotations?

    If Bbb is away from the goalsquare this could be a masterstroke.

    Geez. You'd be tempted to name Tommo as the sub considering our defensive woes this year.

    Nothing unexpected. We will miss big Max big time. 50/50 chance with that team.

    Under the circumstances these are the right changes. Now just get it right in the head.

    Our best available team imo.  Just need a return to form from a few who have been a bit 'off the pace' in recent weeks, and we will  record a comfortable win.  Brisbane 'outs' help in this regard.

    Apart from Max this is one of the best balanced teams we have put out on the park this year. Are they ready to go, I bloody hope so.✅✅

    Our sub will be over 180cm for just the 2nd time this year. Could make a good argument for Tomlinson since we've gone in smaller and Petty has been sustaining a few injuries recently. Otherwise I wouldn't be surprised to see Hunt who can cover back and forward.

    Hunt as the sub.

    While there is a lot of talk with regard to the ruck structure and operation of the forward 50, I get the feeling that we are going into this match light on midfield rotations.

    Jordon, Langdon and a rotation of either Brayshaw or Sparrow covers the wings with Langdon on the ground 99%+ of the time it is the onball brigade that looks light to me.

    Petracca, Oliver and Viney are a given but cannot be there 100% of the time. Harmes, Sparrow and Brayshaw can rotate through there as can ANB but after that there is not a lot of midfield depth in this team.

    Take into account that we have named an IC of two defenders and two small forwards. Bedford and Pickett can make an appearance in the middle or around the ball but they cannot spend a deal of time there during the match.

    I see this as a tough one to win for the Dees.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

      The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.
