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 ;)

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

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
