With McAdam in the squad, does Salo have a week in the 2s? Assume the other in either BBB/Fullarton

Give Woewodin a go . He is improving every time he plays.

It’ll be a cold day in hell when Fritta is not an automatic best 22. Did anyone actually watch the game? Fritta was moved onto Weitering in the second half and really curtailed his influence. He

Look forward to seeing him. The skills he supposedly brings are exactly what we need in the forward half

Must be BB and McAdams for JVR and Disco.

A big ask for McAdams given he's played about 90 minutes of game time in about a year.

That would mean Fullarton is not, as otherwise they would have announced him too.

I don’t think McAdam playing has any relevance to whether Salem is in this week. If he’s fit, he plays. Probably at the expense of Woewodin.

Left field: Tommo in to the backline, and send May to FF, just for this game. 
Tommo at least has decent form in the VFL, and I love to see May crash a few packs up forward. 

May up forward (now that TMac has some better form and support) is a bold but worthwhile option; whatever, if it is not successful by half-time, back to defence, slipping Tracca up forward for longer spells. Fritta will be crucial, and smalls need to be alert for opportunities ahead.

I wouldn't mind Salo coming in and taking some of Trac's midfield minutes allowing him more time I50. But assuming BBB is coming in other moves would also be necessary...Woey out (stiff), Windsor sub?

In: BBB, McAdam, Salem 

Out: Turner, JVR, Woey 

Petty would be rucking I'd assume... 

If no in game injuries I think McAdam and Salem would be chances to be subbed out, similar to Bowey last week.

These are the changes I’m anticipating. If one of the returning players isn’t starting sub then I think Billings is the most likely candidate.

Salem's Player Ratings according to Wheelo Ratings

2021 - 10th for MFC (9.68 points)

2022 - 29th for MFC (5.15 points)

2023 - 21st for MFC (7.88 points)

2024 - 18th for MFC (7.72 points)

He is definitely not a lock in our best side.

Again, and i promise im not being facetious, do you mean if you were a selector or that you think goody thinks salo is not a lock in our best side?

I ask, because they are two different things.

Thrilled to see McAdam in the side. I wouldn't be surprised if Kolt is one of the inclusions for this round either.

Great to see McAdam get his chance.

I also think Dirk could be given a nod again.

Gawny going to ruck 100% of game time… or…

Sure, why not...

At the start of the year I was hoping they'd rest him for this game, however West Coast are far better at home than I could have imagined.

(can only imagine Petty and T Mac will share 7-8 minutes a quarter as back up. GC rucked defender Mac Andrew as a pinch hitter last week, so it's not out of the ream of possibility that T Mac could pinch hit ruck as a defender)

Could we see a return to the TMac pinch-hitting strategy for this week?

Fingers crossed that McAdam gets a good run at it. Would be handy to cement another marking option who brings some real pressure

I can't see Woey being dropped as the game is in Perth, he has been sub several times and was one of our best when he came on against Carlton.

If anything, Chin could need a rest with his knee issues on a possible hard ground.

I would even have Woey in ahead of Billings.

Do posters actually ever inform themselves of the facts ??? Stop posting innacuate, dumb stuff.

Schache is injured,  didn't play the last game & is not available.

Posters still calling for McAdams inclusion despite Goodwin & the Club insisting he needed to play several games at Casey.

You were saying?

I reckon he will play Discos role - if he can - providing agility and a marking option.  Im not 100% that he has the tank so may stay closer to goal.

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
