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.

    No Robertson, No Grimes, No Buckley?

    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 ;)

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      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.
