Don't think Riv plays back. Don't think we change plans and suddenly start Langdon wing. Doubt we'll see any total shocks like Jed Adams over Howes.

Still not sure on 3 talls (AJ or Jeffo), Langford or neither. Woey, Jack Henderson and perhaps would we pick Spargo out of the blue again (surely not right? right?).

FB: Howes May Petty
HB: Salem Lever Windsor
C; Billings Rivers Lindsay
HF: Sparrow Turner Tracc
FF: Fritsch JVR Chandler
Foll: Gawn Oliver Langdon
Int: Bowey, Viney, Sharp, AJ/Langford
S: Woey

E: Henderson, Jeffo, AJ/Langford

That might be the 26 man squad and we won't know exactly who's in until we see conditions on Sunday.

    I'll eat my Akubra if Goody seriously has Jeffo "in the mix" for the opening round.

    Maybe he meant as in later rounds depending on how he fares at VFL level / on the track but wouldn't be in there this week surely.

    Id really like to think that AJ will come in, but have we seen enough of him yet?  One quarter (?) against North (!) and then a bit of a pick and mix against Freo.

    We definitely need someone to give Max a chop out and I really hope its him, but Im not sure if this is the game for it.  I actually have Jeffo behind AJ at this point, unless a tall forward gets injured.  Not like that WILL EVER happen.

    Definitely get Langford in, why the hell not? No downside.

    Im going for best 22 players IMO - positions can (obviously) change:

    Bowey, May, Petty

    Rivers, Lever, Salem

    Windsor, Viney, Langdon

    Langford, Turner, Sharp

    Fristsch, JVR, Chandler

    Gawn, Oliver, Trac

    Int: Howes, Sparrow, AJ, Tmac

    AJ and TMac feels too top heavy, I also think Lindsay plays

    Goodwin said three or four to debut.  I'm guessing it will be three:  Langford, Lindsay, Jefferson or Johnson.  As Johnson played in Freo game he is the more likely and perhaps Jefferson as an emergency.

    So telling our social media couldn’t get it together to create some debut content

     

    we’re so far behind each team in this regard

    I thought he was serviceable against Norf, I was surprised they didn't play him against Freo. But I'd be even more surprised if they backflipped again and played Jeffo ahead of AJ given Johnson looked pretty solid.

    If no AJ that means JVR in the ruck?

    No thanks.

    I really hope not. He has not shown enough in what I saw of him in the Nth game and then not played against Freo. You are not setting him up for success having him debut against Taylor, Buckley and Himmelberg in a red hot first game. It also I assume means no AJ (unless Turner misses) and that likely leaves us with JVR post back spasm having to ruck at times. It just does not set Jeffo or us up for success in my opinion.

    I wonder if the weather might be a factor. 

    Jeffo is probably better at ground level than AJ so might be a better bet if its wet?

    Oh for ANB to still be with us. He’s exactly the guy we need right now. 

    Fair point. Does anyone know if he’s happy?

    Surely not with 20 mls of rain predicted and possible thunderstorms.

    Can’t be too top heavy.

    I think possibly HL, XL, AJ and HS.

    Ooops, I just got sent that and guessed it was today


    If there is three it will be Langford, Sharp, Lindsay

    AJ to be emergency

    I'd be shocked to see Jefferson play and I cant see Spargo being ready 

    Forecast of heavy rain throughout the day and a temperature of 18 degrees by game time. Over or under 16k?

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress. The Lions are licking their wounds after a shock draw in Tasmania last week, while Melbourne’s season hangs in the balance. Can the Dees defy the odds and pull off a miracle to keep their razor thin finals hopes alive?

    • NON-MFC: Round 10

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
