Best F/B & C/H/B for 2010


Still Waiting

Recommended Posts

Who are most likely to play the majority of games on F/F's and C/H/F's such as Riewoldt, Fev, Buddy, Kosi and generally the bigger fwds.

Have we got this settled yet, or is there good competition between Chip, Riv, Warnock, Garland etc?

I reckon this area is vital for our improvement in 2010.

Thoughts?

I'm putting all my trust in Warnock for the next 12-24 months. He's really grown to a size where he can iron out some of the bigger, more imposing guys going round at the moment. After Matty, it's all about Chip, who has also somehow gotten massive over the space of only a couple of seasons. Garland, assuming he plays in defence, still has to get completely fit again before he's given 22 rounds on the big boys.

It's kind of exciting actually. If you look at how Warnock's career has grown, from a nothing promoted-rookie for the first few years of his career, to now being a good, solid defender with a big frame, it bodes well for every other player on the list.

If we give Dunn, Rivers, Frawley, Martin, Watts, Morton and all the other 190-192+ players that kind of time and faith, imagine what could happen? Some may not make it, but Warnock is certainly not the most gifted player going round. If he can do it, they can...

With the current players list, the beauty that DB has noe after experimenting is he has great flexibility. He can basically play personnel against personnell and not positional play.As stated earlier, the backline has got great candidates,it is the midfield that needs player improvement. With the real chance of grabbing a couple of extremely good midfielders this will help enormously.

Warnock FB. Lock it in.

Frawley CHB. Improved beyond many peoples' expecations this year. Should be capable given his promising efforts on Fev and Riewoldt late this year.

That leaves Rivers and Garland to play on the third tall or else maybe push up the ground a bit.

Martin will play ruck/forward I think.

And let's not rule out Lake or Gibson... ;)

Does FB and CHB, really exist anymore?

Its all about Forwards, Backs and Match ups.

Our Back line talls look well equipt to take on the best the AFL can offer up with

Warnock, Rivers, Frawley, Garland and swing man Martin.

Our younger players is where we will improve alot.

Garland was a very exciting prospect before getting injured. Didn't he keep Buddy Goaless in one game? or he didn't kick many. So it will good to get him into the side, either as a Backman or if they decide to throw him forward.

Frawley is looking polished and will become a standout next year.

Warnock = FB

Rivers = CHB

Frawley/Garland = Can play on 3rd/4th talls or even dangerous smalls who are good overhead such as S. Johnson, Medhurst, Porplyzia etc.

Rivers can't play KPB. Not quick enough, and he is best as the loose man.

Frawley and Warnock will take CHF and FF.

I still think Chip Frawley will eventually be our full back on the fast leading Full Forwards. His speed off the mark is the thing thats handy, & also I think his awkward kicking style limits his damaging ability up field.

I think Warnock can also play numerous roles in defence, but next to Frawley, in the pocket is where I think he can be if there is a matchup for him there. Also CHB &/or pinch hit up forward.

IMO the CHB position is where we need to find a real class act, tall running athletic who has great disposal skills. (I wish I could get Daniel Talia)

Rivers is an everywhere defender, playing loose in defence, helps out, but hasn't made a place his own.

    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.
