The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

IN: Kentfield

Out: I really don’t care just wanna give Luker a shot at it

i would drop sprarrow. his handballing to team mates shoelaces drives me nuts

not sure who comes in for him

Well Windsor's out.

Is may back next week?

May in for someone ... Adams presumably (even though that's a bit harsh)?

Not sure who for Windsor unless it's Woewodin or Brown, and Billings has been pretty consistent at Casey.

Cupboard is always bare at this time of year.

Adam’s would be pretty stiff to be dropped after a reasonable debut.

K Brown for Windsor?

Mentioned maybe but for whom?

May for Adams would normally make sense. But with only two games to go, you could make a case for giving the youngster some more AFL experience and letting May's battered body have a good rest before the next pre-season .

Brown or Woewodin for Windsor? Either change will probably weaken the team. Not much use promoting Billings, who does not seem to feature in any long-term plans.

As for the rest, everyone in today's team (with the possible exception of Sparrow) did enough to keep their place.

Short turnaround manage some of the older ones and develop the kids further.

In May, Kentfield, Lindsay, Kolt

Out: TMac, Melksham, Windsor, Sparrow

May for Adams

Kolt for Windsor

Howes back, Bowey forward, Sparrow sub.

It’s not harsh to drop Adams. He’s not ready. You can tell at Casey he’s not ready. He loses concentration and doesn’t seek out the ball. It’s good he got a taste and there were some flashes but he has to take that back to vfl and dominate.

I think Kolts going to be a good solid player but wouldnt reward him yet.

Windsor out.

We only need replace the sub.

Handballing ???

What about petracca, Oliver, gawn ???

OUT: windsor, adams, sparrow
IN: may, tholstrup, woey 2.0

there's honestly not much at vfl level pushing for a call-up, despite their game being a ripper contest and great win

Need a runner in tho. Can’t have May for Windsor.

We could leave Sparrow in the starting 22, or drop him entirely but I think sub is a fair compromise. I don’t want to disrupt Casey too much either, those guys are having a good crack at finals.

Lindsay in not Kolt is an option too, but I’d like to see Kolt play a little defensive mid.

You missed Viney. The Shah of shoelaces

It would seem a bit unfair to drop Adams after he was given the impossible task of guarding Naughton who's in the form of his life, but I can't imagine we'll be leaving May on the sidelines.

I imagine Windsor will miss the remainder of the season. Lindsay seems the most logical replacement but Kolt has also had a good block of VFL form. I can't see any of Woey 2.0, Laurie or Brown getting a look in anytime soon.

Here is the Stats Files post for the game:

Sparrow?

Might be an unpopular opinion but as much as I'd love to see Kentfield or Brown get a go next week, Casey kinda has more to play for at this point. With two dead rubber games to go for the seniors, why bother messing with a team that needs the momentum going into finals? Is it worth a call-up for 1 or 2 games? Maybe? Maybe not.

Very likely. All things considered the likely option.

IN: May, Lindsay
OUT: Adams, Windsor (inj)

I really dislike the arrogant tossers at Hawthorn. Please let us smash them.
