The Demons take on the Magpies in a dead rubber in their last match of the 2024 Premiership Season with pride on the line. Who comes in and who goes out?

Stick your dukes up!

Desperately want to beat these bastards!

Wanna see the agro missing from KB. Keep playing angry

Please this time, bury you know who 

Knee up in every marking contest.

If

North beat the Dogs.

Tigers beat the Hawks.

WCE beat Carlton.

North beat the Hawks

Saints beat Carlton

Lions beat Essendon

 

All we need is a 100pt win against the pies..

Sparrow seems the most likely (and maybe only) omission at this stage. AMW had 35 touches in the VFL so I imagine either he or Laurie will come in as straight swap.

May for Tomlinson?

Can't see Jefferson getting a cameo, much as it will pain some here.

Prefer AMW

May doesn’t need to play. All I need is for some [censored] from Collingwood to pull another serious injury move on him. 

Beating the filth next week will make summer more bearable.

If Collingwood win today this won’t be a dead rubber for them. 

I’d therefore almost prefer it if they do knock off Brisbane. Would give us some good motivation, and another 10,000 to the crowd. 

Earlier today I thought BBB might get a final goodbye game after kicking 6 in the VFL.

After this afternoon's result I'm not sure there's a spot for him - perhaps as sub? But given we probably have to replace Sparrow, it's not exactly like for like. 

I must admit that I have a fantasy of Benny coming on at the 10 min mark of the last quarter and kicking the goal after the siren to beat the Filth.

Nonetheless, it will definately be Nibblers last game. It would also be good to get some clarity on Melksham and McDonald too because they both deserve good send-offs if this is their last game (though tbc I think they should both get 1 more year).

They still look better than us as the 3/4 time siren against the lions goes.

Our midfield looks better without poor old battered and bruised Oliver in it.

Who knows, maybe we’ll kick 10 goals from clearance again (even though it’s an irrelevant stat apparently).

Let’s repay them for 2017. 

This is you @WalkingCivilWar 😅

I suspect both Milkshake and Tmac will play one more year. 🤞🏻

The whole backline goes up a notch with May as the anchor and driving standards.

Agreed. Which is why I don’t want to see Cox drive a knee into his back next week and watch him lose a kidney. 

In: 40,000 missing Demons members

Out: Getting rolled by the Pies over the last few years 

 

The boys should be looking forward to driving a nail into Collingwood’s faint finals chances.

 

 

I would give Hunter his 200th and farewell game next week, on the strict proviso he makes Maynard and Moore know he was out there and if possible legally of course, fixes up Maynard.

You’re too kind

Why does legality come into it

Just mangle the Mthfcrrrr

In. Hunter -200th 

or AMW - deserves recall 

or BBB (unlikely given key forwards) 

out. Sparrow
