Feel free to give your opinions

So far the Demonland voting members have decided on the most preferred back 6 defenders for 2009 as: -

BACKS: WHELAN WARNOCK GARLAND

H-BACKS: RIVERS MARTIN C.JOHNSON

(Not necessarily in those positions)

Now give us your Forward Six selections - Good luck!

For the record my starting 6 are: -

FWD: - SYLVIA MILLER WONAEMIRRI

H-FWD: - DAVEY BATE ROBERTSON

All the best.................

    It makes it tough to select a forward and back six, given the rotations in footy these days.

    PS. I didn't see this coming :P

    Maybe I should start a preferred midfield 6 thread. <_<

    No I gathered that from what I thought was your vote - which was rather quick after i first posted...

    I shouldn't assume this...but your secret is safe.....unless you either plan on putting davey on the bench, emergency or are considering trading him?

    HF: Davey Miller Bate

    F: Sylvia Robbo Wonaemirri

    Even if we draft watts, he will take time and this is my starting forward line for 2009. Newton can hopefully displace Robbo although I doubt it.

  • Quote

    HF: Bate, PJ, Miller.

    F: Sylvia, Robbo, Austin.

    Davey wing/midfield.

  • Quote

    Forwards:

    talls: Miller, Newton, (PJ resting ruck?)

    mobiles: Bate, Sylvia, Robbo

    Smalls: Wonaeamirri, Davey, Maric

    Garland for me, could be the surprise packet. if we continue to develop 4 other key defenders (Martin, Frawley, Rivers and Warnock), it would be well worth giving Garland a go in the forward line. hes so quick, agile and versatile that it could pay off big time...

  • Quote

    HF: Davey Miller Sylvia

    FF: Wonaeamirri Newton Robertson

    Bate to midfield. Robbo to play for another 1-2 years to develop young forwards.

  • Quote

    Love the idea High Tower, just wondering how you plan to manage the problem that certain players can play in several positions - Davey is the best example as in different people's eyes he could be back, forward or mid... which might mean he misses out on all three

    Bruce will probably not make your 22 but I imagine most of us would have him in for 2008

    Not a criticism just a question :)

    Like your thoughts on Garland. Garland did drift down to the forward line against Richmond. Kicked a goal. maybe we might see a bit more of him down there this week, courtesy of Bailey. We could see this next year when Rivers is back in.

    The 7th most voted defender on Demonland was in fact Frawley.

    Have a vote for the last remaining four spots, and include seven - four on the 'int' and three on the emergency list.

    edit: didn't make sense...

    ;) Someone's on the ball...!

    Cheers.

    Well, Schtaker match committee selectors have tough decisions to make...........so now you guys are in their shoes.

    The players that end up missing the interchange or emergencies don't necessarily have to be considered "dee-listed" ;) , just pretend they didn't make your side and they're playing at Sandy, or in next years case Casey! :lol:

    yes but that may still well result in Davey on the bench or emergency when he is clearly best 18

    midfield is going to be a tough one which makes me happy

    Schtaker, we'll manage it no problem. As long as the votes keep pouring in, it will sort itself out. It may also mean Davey in the starting 18!

    For example, the 7th highest voted defender is Frawley, so he might get named on the bench......once the 6 forwards are settled, the midfielders will be done, then the players that miss each section will be pooled and the bench will be voted on out of 7, as Rogue said, the 3 left over will be the emergencies.

    Newton

    Miller

    Robertson

    Bate

    Wonaeamirri

    Davey

    davey could obviously play in the middle, perhaps maric to take his spot?

  • Quote

    I had Davey in my midfield so my forward 6

    Sylvia Miller Bate

    Newton Robertson Aussie

    Yep.

    Davey Miller Bate

    Wona Robbo other

    The other being Watts (or whomever we draft as a forward). If he (draftee) is too raw, then put Sylvia there. Newton is gone. Useless IMO

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
