agree, PJ at Full Forward is an absolute doozy. a case can be made for naming Grimes on the interchange too. :wacko:

Definitely not much thought gone into that prediction ... maybe its our most experienced team but a fair stretch from our best, especially in the light of statements about a youth lead revival. None of Garland, Bennell, Jetta, Cheney or the '09 draftees definitely make you wonder!

The Age... what a joke, I expect better from them. Bartram? PJ? Dunn? Where are Scully and Trengove? What about Stef? Bennell?

Of course the forward line won't have any firepower when PJ is down there you fools.

Scully and Trengove are "ready-made players" apparently, but yet they can't get a gig.

Poor.

The AFL.com one was pretty accurate, however.

Anyone else notice thet the Age's "Star Five" are just our four most experienced players + Bate? No Grimes, no Sylvia. No thought really. A oretty pathetic effort from what is usually a reliable paper.

Oh yes, I forgot to mention that.

No surprise that there's no mention of who the author was. Whoever wrote it wouldn't want to have their name put next to it.

so from afl.com.au's best 22 - who will miss out? Morton and Jurrah?! So 2 from our best 22 isn't in too bad shape to go into round 1 with?!

If we could get either of those teams onto the park, there is clearly enough experience there line by line to be competitive - plenty of 3+ years :blink: . Would like to see more bullishness about our chances. The youth argument doesn't wash with these line-ups - every team has some inexperience.

No Pettard, no Grimes in the Age. No Pettard, no Watts in AFL. I wonder what the definition of "Best team" is in both cases

Again as I mentioned in the Sun review, forget the best 22 team

Let the flogging begin

Grimes on the IC .. think grimes may be better than a few others listed in the 18

If Watts is good enough to be on the IC after 3 games presumably Scully and trengrove are our on the emergency bench...

Just another nameless journo that posts under the pseudonym AAP who has APDNFI

PS For those unaware AAP is a news service that sends the same story to many outlets

PPS APDNFI Absolutely Postively Definately No ... Idea

Another summation of our situation leading into the season......

2010 AFL premiership season preview with Leigh Colbert: Melbourne Demons

A couple of things jumped out at me on reading this:

Re: Addam Maric "think Shaun Higgins" ........ I'd love to think so, but it would be a huge step up!

Re: Lynden Dunn "has a bit of mongrel about him. Perhaps too much". .......Is that the Lynden Dunn who plays for Melbourne? Not from where I sit!

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had
