The Demons head back on the road for their fifth interstate trip this season when they head up to Brisbane to take on the Lions under lights on Friday night at the Gabba. Who comes in and who goes out?

10 goal loss incoming 

Lever in hopefully

Understatement of the year 😅

Could get real ugly….

Gawns post match comments 1000% confirms Oliver won’t be dropped. 
Selfless game apparently lol. 

In form team of the comp versus out form team of the comp. 

Cross everything you got.

Fascinated to see the impact of having lever back.. not a coincidence that our form dropped away when he left the team. Critical for structure and leadership

Underrated observation. 
Lever makes us much better. His leadership has been sorely missed. He’s a totally different leader to Gawn and Viney. 

I'm genuinely scared.

Can wait to see the mighty f#cking dees rail the Lions on their home deck. 

In: Lever

Out: Tomlinson

 

Fritsch should be dropped but Goodwin won't do it

I'm a two hour drive from Brisbane and my heart says go but my logic says no.

I purchased the tickets and the flights after the Geelong win. Things were looking fine back then. Think I’ll put the 8yo on the iPad w/ headphones at 1/4 time 🤷‍♂️😀👌

Max must have missed Oliver trying to give away a 50 with 5 minutes to go.

In all seriousness, they're just trying to keep him well and nurse him through. Unclear whether that is okay or not.

Make a holiday of it and head down to the beach and safe yourself the mental anguish. 

Even if we play our best performance of the year, we are miles off the current Lions form.

Look at our list v theirs. We simply have way too many inexperienced players and a forwardline that is simply no match for their backline.

So you would prefer that our captain, whilst still on the field, criticises his teammate, who we all know is trying hard to clean his life up and come back from a poor pre-season, because he couldn’t shake a tag?

Yet every chance you get you complain about our club’s culture being broken?

[censored] me. 

Lever would be a welcome inclusion. 
What is going on with #31?   Preseason some were talking him up as a Coleman prospect.
A good performance tomorrow by any Casey medium / tall forward would be welcome.

The logic may be there but the same post would have been made about Hawthorn a month ago, the week prior to them beating Brisbane.

Going along with kids and Grand Kids but fearing the worst. We just are not playing well and our kids, whilst going Ok are just not improving enough. Plus, our middle players are also not doing enough and the less I say about Mr Fritta the best.

Could be an ugly showing at the Gabba.

As I mentioned in the non MFC thread today, how is it that Brisbane keep drafting and successfully blooding goal kicking forwards, and now have 2 more in Lohmann and Morris that are now established in their best 22.
