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?

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

Jake Lever will probably come in.

Out Sharp Aj

In Viney Lever

move Tuner forward

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.

spargo out and never play again

sharp out

brown and viney in

leave jake out to play a half at casey again, turner is our best defender so leave him down there ffs

Heard Lindsay has been taken to hospital.

Agree only change Viney in Dull out.

The hit on his throat I’m guessing

Not another larynx!

(although potentially better than concussion if he recovers quickly)

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

Hopefully the dees fans get to the G next week especially coming off todays great win.

AJ must stay in. His aggression on the ball and ruck work set the standard in the last

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.

OUT: sharp
IN: viney

if they determine that lever is good to go, then turner to go forward and provide the relief ruck as johnson goes out

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.

Is Lindsay ok?

Roo and Kolt did sfa at Casey yesterday

Just sayin...

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?
