A couple of questions for the brains trust ...

1> Which of the glut of 1st year mids should I choose, to make a heap of dollars then maybe upgrade later? And how many can I afford to include?

I was thinking of including three out of the following, in order of preference (yes, I know they are the top draft 5 picks, but I actually think they are the 5 most likely to play a lot, along with Brad Sheppard who is in my backline).

* Jack Trengove

* Dustin Martin

* Tom Scully

* Anthony Morabito

* Ben Cunnington

* (anyone else??)

2> Who are the best of the mid priced 2nd/3rd/4th etc year players? That is, who are most likely to take the leap to become top priced players (like our boy, Grimesy, did last year), and hence, again, make a heap of dollars?

Who should I pick, or avoid, from these guys? And, are there any others I should consider?

* Trent Cotchin

* Hamish Hartlett

* Jack Zeibell

* Alex Rance

* Rhys Palmer

* Patrick Dangerfield

* (anyone else??)

Any advice would be heartily welcomed.

Already in one league for my first year at this SC and DT thing.

Thought I might try what someone else said and make up a Dees team solely and see how they travel. Might be interesting.

Now to find out if I can squeeze in anywhere........

Haven't looked at my side yet. I'd look at the NAB Cup and form of the players you mention. Look for who you think will play an integral part of the H&A season and where they will play (ie. game time and their stats).

For now, I think you could do alot worse than have Trengove and Scully in your side. :)

Hope you dont mind. I have also joined this league. (SuperDees).

Also, some may laugh but I think B.Miller could be a good smokey this year. If we are better then we have been, then hw should take plenty of grabs due to his constant leads, and heres hoping he may finally pull it all together.

Also, apparantly Bastinac for the Roo's is a cheap pick and from all reports is impressing big time.

Not at all, I want it full of Demonlanders :)

I lost interest in it last year as I missed a few weeks, but want to stay on top of it this year :)

I Decided against the likes of Ablett and a few of the others right at the top and went with Hodge as my captain, thought Judd was cheap

I don't pretend to be an expert mate, but IMO Martin & Trengove are in for sure - subject to injury/ NAB cup time/ performances.

I'd avoid Hamish Hartlett like the plague, a mate was involved with the short flower last season and he had a terrible run of injuries, from the sounds of it he's not quite right yet. No doubt he'll get past those injuries at some stage but I wouldn't be attempting to time it myself. Better less prone players IMO. Having said that I could be hypocritical having Grimes in my team, eh. Reckon Zeibell's injury not being a soft tissue one like HH's several, is worth overlooking - an inclusion in both my SC & DT sides. Dangerfield has a lot of upside IMO and I like him as a pacy, exciting player from a spectators viewpoint, crows website sounds like he's recovered well enough from his scare for the start of the season.

I haven't been able to fit Morabito into my side at present, but definitely worth considering given Freo will probably need to blood more players in what I consider will be another underperforming season.

I like the look of Edwards from richmond (defender & Fwd I believe) and Suban of freo isn't too steep yet.

    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.
