May's arrival gives the Demons a super-strong and versatile back six, but Jesse Hogan's exit means they are placing big faith in Weideman to continue his impressive end to last season.
Can Melbourne continue to play veterans Jones and Lewis in the same side?
That question will be pondered over the summer and possibly throughout next season, too.
They may both start 2019 in the side, but there are others pushing hard.
Kolodjashnij comes in ahead of Bayley Fritsch and Billy Stretch, which might be a big call.
Jayden Hunt offers line-breaking ability, while Sam Frost, Joel Smith and Josh Wagner are first cabs off the rank in defence.
The Dees now have a quality No.2 ruckman in Braydon Preuss, but will he be used alongside Gawn?
