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:

    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.

    Why get rid of Warnock, he's done pretty well lately. he should continue to improve

    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.

    i meant to have him somewhere in there. he'll find a spot, probably over peterd.

    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.

    3) S.Valenti has been promising, but Lynden Dunn gets the place instead of him on the bench for mine

    Second that

    Dunn's been our best tagger and he still doesn’t make the 22

    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.

    I hope they surprise me, I mean they were top 21 picks afterall. I expect nothing less than 2 gamebreakers ;)

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
