PREGAME: Rd 08 vs Gold Coast

[Demonland 71,228]

The Demons are heading back on the road for the fourth time this season to take on the Gold Coast Suns at Heritage Bank Stadium in a bid to win their third game on the trot. Who comes in and who goes out? 

[adonski 11,732]

OUT: Schach
IN: Brown

Suspect it'll be Petty (pending concussion protocols) rather than Brown but would prefer the experience of BBB

 

[Nascent 9,070]

Ideally I'd have.

In: Brown, Petty

Out: Schache, Hibberd

Petty to play back. Hibberd rested.

I'd prefer Laurie to Harmes but much of a muchness when it comes to the sub.

Pretty moot until Casey's game tomorrow though.

 

[Gawndy the Great 9,011]

I thought someone was missing (Petty)

Out: Schache

In: Petty

JJ keeping Spargo out for now.

[dee-tox 4,835]

Wonder if Maysie will come under any scrutiny for his hit on Coleman Jones?

Think BBB will need to be considered.

Not a chance… he hit the ball first and the player ran into his forearm.

Great post. 

Like the idea of resting hibbo. 

Sun's aren't the easy beats that they've been in the past but should be a win if the boys front up with the right attitude. 

I know Spargo is rated highly by the FD but I can't see an obvious reason to get him in based on tonight's from 

 

 

[dl4e 5,851]

out. Schache

In. Petty.

[layzie 33,729]

Let's get some of that sweet, sweet BBB

[titan_uranus 24,964]

Petty or Brown/TMac for Schache. 

If Dunstan plays well again he may get the sub spot at worst. Or maybe Jordon’s spot? I felt Jordon was poor tonight. 

Not sure what we do with Spargo if he’s fit. 

[Jaded No More 68,855]

No Touk. If we don’t [censored] this in I’d be very very very disappointed 

[deanox 9,896]

I think Petty for Schache is likely, even though I'd like to see it as just Petty for Hibberd, and Petty going back.

Spargo is a potential sub option. 

[WERRIDEE 5,429]

You have all forgotten Spargo.

no guarantees on petty given that they gave spargo some extra time to recover, but you'd think they'd be the two likely ins

i still really like the notion of the tall defensive premiership trio of may-lever-petty being back together, but it's hard to see how unless pig is sore and misses with his achilles, in which schache may hold his spot forward unless sideshow bald or plugger mac turn it on in the vfl

Goody said post match that all indications are that Petty will get thru the protocol fine. Must have been a mild concussion and he must be feeling good.

I can see Hibbo being managed soon.

Nice thaught but I would not be taking Gold Coast up there lightly at all.

Yep, it was a genuine contest nothing dirty about it.

Yep, and Rowell has had an underwhelming season so far. We've got the advantage in the guts.

I’d rather JJ over spargo when kade is playing the way he is

[Freddy Fuschia 730]

JJ always plays a steady game. He’s quite and unassuming but does his job for the team.

The most important thing to look at here is the weather report. Last time we headed up north for a game, we felt the heat and had trouble handling the footy. Let’s hope the team gets up there in time to acclimatize and get a decent training run on the surface of the ground.

My Weather Ap forecast for next Saturday is sunny and 23 degrees.

[dee-tox 4,835]

Great opportunity for his old mates to get in Mac Andrew's ear and bring him back to rightful home... Casey!

No changes for me barring any one not recovering well.
