Voting for 6 Midfielders for 2009...

[H_T 2,941]

Good Luck - Apologies for the Poll not working.

Sorry I forgot to put Brock Mclean in guys & girls and I didn't have enough room for Lynden Dunn and Rick Petterd......................Am I safe to assume that McLean is a shoo-in? Let me know otherwise!

Demonland voters have named the preferred back 6 and forward 6, now its time for your best 6 midfielders to take the field in 2009. It doesn't include this years NAB draftees in October either (ie Rich, Naitanui, etc)

Remember you need the centre line and the Followers including starting Ruckman!

It's a hard job selecting, BUT YOU CAN DO IT!

(you thought the selectors had an easy job!)

7th, 8th and 9th ranked players will be nominated into a vote-off for places on the interchange and emergencies (voting to follow - once the 6 midfielders are clear cut via voting).

For your information the BACK 6 as voted are: -

WHELAN WARNOCK GARLAND

RIVERS MARTIN C.JOHNSON

(with J.Frawley and C.Bartram nominees for the bench/emergencies)

The FORWARD 6 as voted are: -

WONAEMIRRI MILLER SYLVIA

ROBERTSON BATE DAVEY

(with M.Newton and A.Maric nominees for the bench/emergencies)

NOTE: The 2nd most voted ruckman will also be nominated for the bench/emergencies.

Final Word: Good Luck selector!

Do you mean Jace Bode instead of Matthew Bode?

My 6

C: Green, McLean, Davey

R: P Johnson, Moloney, Jones

Int: Wheatley, Bruce, Morton, Buckley

[Roost It 1,434]

You know what. Filling out this list made me realise that we need some topline midfielders. Rich may well be our pick. I mean you've got the Brockinator, hopefully Grimes, Morton and then a string of unproven or dodgy skilled slowish players but no ELITE. Let's hope Grimes and Morton come on as expected. I'd say Bailey would be looking very closely at Rich. I think our back 6 are the strongest part of the team. I'm also reasonably confident about our forwards. The midfield needs to be better if we are going to win a flag, much, much better. Quicker,cleaner and meaner!!

[Beamer 1]

C: Green, McLean, Davey.

Foll: P.Johnson, Moloney, Dunn.

Int/Emg: Grimes, Jones, Petterd.

Good point Roost It. If we'd have 1 and 2 (ref: Rd22 last year) picks we could solve all our problems quicker. Ie Rich and Watts!

[H_T 2,941]

C: Green, McLean, Davey.

Foll: P.Johnson, Moloney, Dunn.

Int/Emg: Grimes, Jones, Petterd.

Forgot Petterd and Lynden Dunn too...........but the polling only allowed me a max of 20.

[barpen 0]

C- Green Bruce Morton

Foll- P.Johnson Moloney Jones

(McLean in for Moloney if he was there)

High Tower- has been a good exercise to see what everyone thinks. Congrats!

[H_T 2,941]

Early days yet, but early votes in the back and forward 6 sort of remained unchanged. The midfield line up is already increasingly looking like: -

CENTRE LINE: MORTON BRUCE GREEN

FOLLOWERS: P.JOHNSON McLEAN JONES

With Moloney, Grimes and perhaps Dunn to follow.....

Keep voting!

[H_T 2,941]

C- Green Bruce Morton

Foll- P.Johnson Moloney Jones

(McLean in for Moloney if he was there)

Yes I think McLean will automatically be included (I stuffed the polling page up by gulp! ...forgetting him), unless others tell me otherwise in serious numbers, but I doubt it!

Thanks..

[H_T 2,941]

Looks increasingly likely Wheatley will struggle to make the starting 18. Looking shaky for the interchange too perhaps......

[Jarka 767]

Going forward I think the midfield group will look something like this:

C: Buckley Grimes Morton

Ruck: Jamar McLean Jones

Additional players who will get rotated through:

Dunn, Valenti, Moloney & Davey.

Guys like Green and Bruce will play a more supporting role at either HFF or HBF, of course this depends on who we draft/trade at the end of the year. If we snare Warnock then you can pencil him in, ditto for Rich or Hartlett.

[CarnTheDees 52]

Rucks: Johnson McLean Jones

Centreline: Bruce Green Wheatley

Bench (Mids): White, Moloney

I liken your line-up to probably our 2010 line-up you have good foresight, with Jamar the only query. Your right probably Warnock if we can snare him to be pencilled in.

[CarnTheDees 52]

Going forward I think the midfield group will look something like this:

C: Buckley Grimes Morton

Ruck: Jamar McLean Jones

I don't see a role for Jamar going forward. He is only getting games ahead of White because Bailey wants to have one last good look at him before they decide he's definitely not up to it. He may be a decent tap ruckman (though PJ kills him in hitouts to advantage) he struggles to impact around the ground.

[Yze_Magic 3]

C - Morton Jones Davey

Rucks - Warnock Green McLean

Bench mids - Moloney Buckley Dunn

Struggling to find a spot for Valenti, though I suspect he will command a spot somewhere off of his own form. Looks to be a player.

Also, will Junior go on?

Also struggling to find a spot for Bartram.

[Yze_Magic 3]

Shite! Sorry how could I forget the Brock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He's a shoo in!

I am imposing a 8 week suspended sentence on myself!

Apologies.....

You might wanna get the moderators to add Brock, Dunn, Petterd and Davey in there, otherwise the poll is useless.

You can take out Bode, Yze and Meesen for starters.

I have sent a message to Moderators, with the request. I was going to automatically include McLean anyway.....

Meesen can stay in.

[Beamer 1]

You could leave out Yze and Bode.

Not Meesen though. He might just suprise us I think.

I also think he will stay on the list for '09.

C: Bate Jones Morton

R: P. Johnson McLean Petterd

- Junior to retire

- Apologies to Moloney - last position between him and Petterd

- Did not include Grimes or Maric as we have not seen them yet

- If we pick up D. Rich (unlikely) in the draft then he is straight in there

- Green to play off half back

- Bate to play more across half forward/wing

- Bruce. Trade bait?? Perhaps a return to the forward line

[H_T 2,941]

Looks as though James McDonald is on the outer with Demonland members for 2009!

Perhaps this years outs include: Holland, White, McDonald, Carroll, Weetra, Yze.

According to votes so far in all 3 categories.............

Perhaps Bails should log onto Demonland to make his job easier.......

Apologies.....

Lol..

Its ok mate..

A good topic!!

I went with

Meeson (if he can get going, look out!)

MCLEAN..Jones, Valenti, Green, Morton, Grimes..

Bruce more a utility, same with Wheatley..

Mcdonald will be a hbf from now on,

Maric will be a small forward who will drift into the midfiled on occasionally next year..

Grimes.. he's the one 2 watch, im pumped 4 this kid!
