Sharp for Viney would just about do it.

Spargo probably gets a reprieve with the dees win but first half wasn't great.

Fritsch to start now as long as he keeps bringing that intensity.

Edit: forgot Lever, will he need another run at Casey? If not it will probably mean Turner forward and Johnson out.

    Keep Fritsch as the sub for another week, was genuinely impactful in that role. Make it clear he needs to earn a full game.

    Could we have Lever, May, Turner and T Mac all in the backline? Turner seems mobile enough to play on a medium forward, or it simply frees Lever up to do his best work.

    You’d have to take Windsor out and despite his poor game today his pace has proven so valuable when he’s able to sweep. And you’d have to move him to the wing and swap other things around.

    Only change, Viney for Sharp and Fritch to start as sub again

    Lever if he’s 100% right for AJ. Disco forward.

    Don’t love Viney for Sharp but that’s probably the move. Ideally we’d have a genuine half forward to come in but Casey is petty thin.

    With Viney back I’d like to see Rivers take some rotations as the 3rd wing. Chandler more forward to keep that pressure and forward craft.

    Wouldn’t be against a bit of shuffling the magnets with Langford deep forward in bursts and Lindsay high half forward. Just for development would be nice to give them some different looks

    Fritsch must stay as sub.

    Agree only change Viney in Dull out.

    The hit on his throat I’m guessing

    Not another larynx!

    Viney for Sharp

    Lever starts on the bench, for Linsay (if he doesn't get up)

    Keep Disco back, Petty forward

    Fritter or Spargo as sub

    Sydney are down Amartey and McInerney

    Lindsay did take a hand to the face in the last Q

    Might be a precautionary eye situation

    If we win, we are well and truly back in the conversation for the 8. Beat St kilda the week after and go into Collingwood with nothing to lose and suddenly it’s become somewhat of a blockbuster fixture again.

    These are the harder ones to determine. Viney for Sharp feels obvious, if Brown put in another good performance I'd like to see that rewards and have Spargo dropped. If Lever is fit he comes in, Disco goes forward, AJ (very unlucky) goes out.

    Fritta stays as the sub. He had an impact and that's what we need from the sub.

    Spargo will stay rewarded for whatever Goody thinks he contributes, though I don’t know if anybody who knows what that is. Couldn’t even kick a set shot.

    Fritta will probably also be rewarded, though another week as sub would do him good.

    AJ has little skill but provides a very solid contest and does ok as back up ruck. No surprise that Max could come back on in the last bit of Q4 and really turn / save the game - would he have been able to do that without a real break?

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road for their 3rd interstate game in 4 weeks as they face a fit and firing Crows at Adelaide Oval. With finals now out of our grasps what are you hoping from the Dees today?

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
