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. <_<

I take it your putting Davey in the midfield?

I'm not sure how you can gather that from my comment :o

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.

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...

HF: Davey Miller Sylvia

FF: Wonaeamirri Newton Robertson

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

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.

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

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
