The Demons return to the MCG on Saturday night to take on the Port Adelaide Power in the hopes to salvage some pride out of a disappointing season. Who comes in and who goes out?

In: Jeffo and someone that can coach

Viney looks really sore, will probably require surgery on his shoulder

Oliver has 14 pins in his hand, will require surgery

Gawn has his ankle/leg issue

May has his back/ribs issue

Get them all in for surgery/recovery early so that they are fit for the majority of the preseason. And give the AFL minutes to guys in the VFL to see what they have (Laurie, Jefferson, Fullarton, K Brown)

Tonight was our last shot at '24.

Results be damned, It's officially time to rest the older guys or anyone who isn't 100% and get some games into the kids.

Lingers and McVee will get rubbed out. May will miss too. 

Langdon probably gets a week for that but English dominates the last quarter.

Bedford and Cameron put their opponents into next week and somehow play the next week.

Try explaining that to someone new to the game.

Use the next couple of weeks to rest a couple. Viney for a week and Clarry for a week. Try and be in as good as shape as possible for the filth in the last game.

May obviously injured, feels like Gawn, Oliver and Viney are too.

TMac's form has disintegrated in a fortnight.

We've spent all year trying to force the square peg that is Petty into the round hole that is our forward line. I think that experiment can end. With May going out, put Petty back and accept that from now on he's a defender. He will have TMac's spot next year, most likely.

If that means it's time to play Jefferson in the forward line, so be it.

Oofa doofa. This is gonna be ugly. The crowd will be back to 2008-2013 levels and the performance could match it.

I'm disappointed that he's such a confidence player after all these years.

You could tell from very early on tonight he was thinking about last week.

I think it might be time I'm afraid...

Jeffo will only come in if one of the other talls goes out. Can't see them dropping anyone, in spite of anything, players like Petty and Turner need game time. So depends on May?

That’s what I said - May out injured, Petty goes back, Jefferson comes in.

Tom McDonald is ready for retirement.  He’s moving slower and getting outbodied.  Just hanging in. Has moments but is getting exposed too much. Goodwin had refused to play Tomlinson who surely walks out after getting overlooked again this year.

Yes, exit interviews could be interesting unless he makes the decision himself. Would prefer TMac stayed, even if he plays the year out at Casey where he could bring a bit of experience. Can't see BBB or Schache going round again.

I was all for him going around again two weeks ago, even after last week I thought he could go around one more time, but he's in his head already.

I think he'll hang them up.

Just want to see Jefferson and Laurie in for the remaining games. Not much else to get excited about for the remainder of this season.

Time for the draft board to be opened up?

Tomlinson, I believe, has been available for over a year. Nobody took a bite last year.

Tom controlled Hogan for the best part of 3/4's before a couple of good efforts by Jesse after a flood of supply. Had a shocker tonight but also got some of the roughest umpiring you'll ever see. Honestly, a few dropped marks paid and laughable frees against.

He'll finish very highly in the B+F. If he's keen to play on someone will nab him. If we move him on it will only be because we've found another option and we want to stagger the McDonald/May coming off the list.

Why would he be dropped for Tomlinson who would've given up just as many if not more contests tonight given the flood of supply.

Disco in for May, not too worried about which end he or Petty plays.

The big guns won't take a rest whilst we are still mathematically alive.

Hore for Moniz-Wakefield please, we need some experience and steadiness down back.

No interest in Jeffo this year unless really needed. He still doesn't have the body for AFL footy and won't touch it with no supply at all. Round 1 next year has to be the target.
