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.

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form
