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.

    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

    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?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
