As we are all aware if its one thing we dont lack it would be inside mids, though with the game progressing like it is

can we afford to carry 3 to 4 mids in our team at once? Im talking Moloney, jones, Mclean even Valenti.

Just want peeoples opinions on weather they see a possible three out of them four (jones mclean moloney) In say two years time when were pushing for finals. And if not i sure wouldnt wana be the one making the decision.

I can see all of them potentially still on our list in 2011 and if you're talking about in our best 22 by round 1 2011 I'd expect our side to read.

FB: Rivers, Warnock, Bennell

HB: Frawley, Martin, Garland

C: Blease, Scully, Davey

HF: Green, Watts, Petterd

FF: Jurrah, Butcher, Wonna

Foll: Spencer, Morton, McLean

Int: Grimes, Jones, Meesen, Moloney

Emerg: Bate, Maric, Strauss

Who could we get rid of though out of those 3 Mclean,Moloney and Jones. They have proven worthy. I think Jones can actually be an outside Mid at times though. So maybe we could develop Jones into an outside midfielder because he hasn`t got bad pace and maybe over time it will pay off. Although you got to have pretty good skills to be a outside mid. If you think I`m completely wrong then tell me and explain.

Looks like a pretty well balanced team.

Mouth watering prospects. I keep forgetting about Blease. There's a lot of early draft picks in that team.

Looks pretty good to me. The thing I like is not having a Maric, Jetta, Strauss, Buckley or Cheney in the side but it still looks great - might need a good tagger there, though. Not sure on the 3 inside mids making it but injury/form might sort that out for us.

Like your structure Tall Defence. But Bate ahead of Sylvia?

Yes I can see why a few people would scratch their heads over that one. A lot depends on this year really as far as I'm concerned. I know Bate hasn't set the world on fire of late but I have a gut feeling that the club is going to stick with him, don't know why just a feeling. As of Sylvia I'm still not convinced either way which way the club will go on him whether they'll try to trade him at seasons end or if he'll turn it all around and demand a spot in our team.

So long and short I've probably only listed Bate ahead of Sylvia because I'm pretty confident Bate will still be there, while undecided about Sylvia. Hope he is still there though.

Exactly, once you factor in injury and form there would obviously be a few changes which may see someone like Bartram,Strauss or McNamara in there as a run with player. Otherwise you never know, Moloney or Jones may re-invent themselves into a run with player. Then add in the pace of Davey, Blease, Scully and Morton it starts to look very good for the future doesn't it!

Apologies to anyone I've missed. Lets call this the 2012 model?

Hows the skill and speed in that team?

Anyone who thinks we don't need to win 4 or less games...

How about were try to draft a good ruckman to go with this plentiful quota of mids that would help!!!!

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
