Pretty much exactly the same.

Bennel, Jones, Wona, and Bail the unlucky ones. And i'm hoping Tapscott, Gysberts and Blease will play plenty of games next season.

Having only 3 on the bench is a real [censored], it really will be the death of the 2nd ruckman. Not happy with Martin, but I guess he's the only real option as back up ruckman

RUCK: Jamar, McKenzie, Sylvia

INT: Trengove, Gysberts, Scully

SUB: Bennell

I'd play Martin in the back-line where he belongs, and have him rotate through the ruck when required. I sort of want to replace Rivers with Macdonald, but I can't really see Rivers being dropped for Round 1. I wish we didn't have to play Bruce, but he is still a worth-while player, despite his faults. I could also see Jones on the bench instead of Gysberts, or even replacing Martin with Macdonald, dropping Gysberts or Bennell and putting Martin on the interchange as more of a true back-up ruckman.

How good is it to have depth? We all had to leave players out, but to think I've got Bail, Tapscott, Blease, Wona, Warnock to name a few playing at Casey, there's going to be some competition to keep spots in 2011. Bring on 2012+!!!

Second ruck is a concern. Martin would have to be considered for this spot, maybe as the sub instead of Morton. Ruck Jamar flat out for three quarters then sub him off maybe.

I'm not going to do it because I cant be bothered, but this new interchange rule shits me. I see no advantages to it. The sub is an interesting one. A team like Melbourne could definately use it to its advantage as you would be hoping for a player that is quick with good disposal to come on and make an impact while the rest of the field is slowing down.

What type of player do people think will be selected for the sub role? Do you think we will have a designated sub, or subs would be chosen tacticaly depending on who we are playing. It would be fair to say that the sub player would not be considered part of the best 18 as they are not required for the whole game, but someone who could bring something to the table also to change the tempo of the game if a plan c may be needed. A goal kicker, or exceptional field kick should only be considered for sub IMO.

^ I think one of the outcomes is going to be that the trend towards playing one ruck plus one guy who can just hold his own, but offers something else, will increase.

The other impact will be that guys who have a good tank will benefit.

I'm not sure how the sub will work - I'm sure there'll be a few different tactics before one is settled on.

I think the vast majority of selections are ignoring the fact that someone has to ruck when Jamar is resting. I don't think it should be Dunn - he's playing the defensive-forward role very well and he's a scoring threat - if he has to ruck and rest then that role is missing. We've got a problem there and that's why we were chasing Hale. I wouldn't play Jamar and Spencer together, and PJ has had his chances. IMO it has to be Fitzpatrick, Newton or Martin unless we can draft a mature age player like say Sinclair.

If Bruce doesn't sign I'd replace him with Macdonald.

    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.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
