Get them in: Co-captain Jack Viney is ready to play, but whether it's at AFL level or VFL level remains to be seen.Christian Salem (thumb) may also be right to go, but will have to pass a fitness test later in the week.Tim Smith, Cameron Pedersen, Jeff Garlett and Josh Wagner will also be considered.

Under the pump: If the Demons persist with Sam Weideman, which they should, then Jayden Hunt and Alex Neal-Bullen may find themselves under pressure.

Medical room: Has Viney (foot) had enough conditioning to return straight into the AFL team? The tough midfielder hardly trained over the pre-season, but has been in full training for at least a month now and appears in good nick.

Verdict: Viney's lack of match practice should rule him out of an AFL berth, and potentially it would be more beneficial to give him a run in the VFL first. However, Viney is a unique character and will be pushing hard to play. If Salem is fit, then Neal-Bullen makes way. Otherwise, the Demons go in unchanged.
