COLLECTIVE DEMONLAND SIDE FOR 2009


H_T

Recommended Posts

easy. get rid of Warnock. his brother will have joined the dees by the time this side takes the field so there would be no more point in playing him.

So you would get rid of M.Warnock because his brother may join the Dees?

Ay curumba!

:wacko:

I can't think of any other reason he's been getting a game

R.Warock is a ruckman. M.Warnock a defender. Wheatley struggles against the bigger forwards for strength, so plays more on a wing or half back flank.

This is my vision that turns Col into a Chris Johnson (of Lions fame) type All-Australian back pocket.

thankyou captain obvious. even with M Warnock out of the side there are 3 tall defenders remaining - not including Wheatley.

Well, when 2009 rolls around he will be 25 years old. I don't think he'll ever be better than an average AFL footballer (if he continues to improve). I'm not saying get rid of him. I think his best option will be to play when we need an extra big defender. He's certainly no lock to be a permanent fixture in the 22 in my book.

Fair enough. Whats your opinion on Frawley then? Or I will re-phrase who do you rate more?

UTILITY.

Wheatley is not and never has been a utility. He has always played the majority of his football as a back flanker / wingman

I class him as a Utility IMO.

Wheatley struggles against the bigger forwards for strength, so plays more on a wing or half back flank.

I like chip a lot. going forward, frawls definitely - especially if Riv can't stay on the park. i think if he can add a few kgs, continue to grow in confidence and maintain his pace (which is above AFL standards for players his size) he'll prove to be a very effective player - capable of rebounding using his foot speed.

I'm not sold on Robertson recovering in time for round 1, why would grimes get a game? he hasn't even played sandy ones yet, Buckley no. My team is the best one listed.

Yes. Rivers does remain a bit of a concern. Fingers crossed he doesn't get injured again, gotta feel for him, he'd be feeling very frustrated.

My Team (bearing in mind that it changes all the time & I will forget players

B: M Whelan, C Garland, J Frawley

HB: C Johnson, S Martin, J Rivers

C: B Green, B McLean, A Davey

HF: C Bruce, B Miller, M Bate

F: A Wonaeamirri, M Newton, C Sylvia

R: P Johnson, B Moloney, N Jones

I: C Morton, C Bartram, L Dunn, P Wheatley

Emerg: S Buckley, R Petterd, M Jamar (who I believe are all top 22 players, but I can't fit them in)

This takes into consideration that I believe McDonald, Holland, Yze & White will retire

I also believe that Weetra, Carroll & Bode should get delisted.

Players that miss include Valenti, Grimes & Maric (just), Bell, Robertson (who would replace Newton when fit), Cheney, Meesen, McNamara, Warnock

Like your side. I would chop Bartram, Bruce and Newton though.

Players like Grimes & Maric will suprise you, once you see them play.

Thats a good side actually........Newton has to show signs of improvement before the year is out.

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full
