Looks like McDonald in the whites jumper (B team) and Kynan Brown in the Blue (A team) at training.. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Oh for goodness sake...surely they're not even remotely considering dropping our best defender from last week.

    Well Petty is coming back through the reserves and May will be in for Lever so I reckon McDonald stays in.

    Interesting that Petty's confirmed VFL this week because he hasn't played for 4 weeks.

    They've brought back senior players straight back into the side off way longer lay offs.

    A soft drop?

    Photos could be misleading. Laurie and Brown in both white and blue jumpers.

    Petracca and Gawn also in white in one of the photos.

    Could be. Could also be that this is his second concussion this season and they want to see how he pulls up, and given our season is over in terms of finals, there’s no point risking him.

    It’s also possible that they are determined to keep Jeffo and JVR in the seniors for a few more weeks.

    I’ve been guilty of assuming the jumper colours at training indicate selection. But I suspect this is the answer.

    Today, we saw photos of the following:

    Blue - Gawn, Langdon, Oliver, Turner, Fritsch, Trac, Laurie, Bowey, Brown, Windsor

    White - Gawn, Trac, Rivers, Woewodin (albeit these four were white vests over blue jumpers), Campbell, Laurie, Mentha, Billings, TMac

    So Laurie clearly in both blue and white.

    All told, tells us little I would have thought.


    I like that they are persisting with jeffo and Kolt , but I would have like to see X get a rest, or maybe they will make him the sub

    The coaches are clearly seeing something with Sharp that I'm not.

    I'd much rather give Laurie a run.

    Hoped for May. But surprise Sharp. Is back but he did play well for Casey

    I'm glad we drafted Howes for the Casey team. I mean, [censored] the future, am I right?

    I’m surprised Spargo wasn’t chosen ahead of Sharp.

    Reckon they've stamped Bill's card.

    Sharp was very good in the VFL last week, as was Billings and Spargs, all could be a like for like replacement.

    Unlucky for Howes who played a blinder as well

    Big midfield battle coming up, will be a good test

    He got a 3 week rest.


    Sharp will be sub

    He is a good sub option

    Very good changes overall

    Glad Petty has to earn his spot and we are keeping youth in

    I would not say Spargo was very good for Casey last week. 16 disposals for an experienced AFL player in a lower league is, at best good. I’d say he was ok.

    Like a few others, I’m slightly mystified by Sharp’s selection.

    I would have brought back Howes for Sparrow, played him on the wing, done a few other ‘swings and roundabouts’ and trialed Langford as an inside mid / forward (which is where I think his future lies).

    ………. but that’s just me, and others are far better placed than me, to make such a call!

    Out of interest, which defender would you drop for Howes?

    He is being groomed as a backman. When he’s played for the demons several times he hasn’t shown much. So a good game at Casey might not be enough to work his way in

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
