Recommended Posts

Footy is back and Friday night we kick off the Footy for 2011. It can't come quick enough and we all expect a big year for the Demons. For me I think we will line up as below and we will come away winning both games to start 2011. People are bored, Rumours are flying footy is back to give us something real to talk about not what ifs.

Bartam Martin Garland

Grimes River MacDonald

Scully Sylvia Morton

Dunn Watts Green

Davey Jurrah Spencer

Jamar Moloney Trengove

Maric Jones Bate Bennell Jetta Strauss

How many candidates do we have for the 9 point Super goal ?

Sylvia, Moloney, Watts, maybe Davey if he nails it ?

I see us lining up something like this:

Strauss Garland MacDonald

Grimes Rivers Bartram

Morton Moloney Trengove

Sylvia Watts Dunn

Green Jurrah Maric

Jamar Scully Davey

Bennell McKenzie Bail Spencer Martin Gysberts

I can't see Wonaeamirri being fit enough to make it, as he has missed too much of the pre-season.

I am unsure if Gysberts will make it, but I placed him in because if he is fit he is too good not be one of the first replacements for other regulars.

Strauss showed enough during the intraclub match, and even though doesn't replace Frawley, we need to get a look at him under match conditions.

Jetta has probably earnt a place on training form but I prefer others at this stage.

I am unsure if the Dees will line up exactly like this because I reckon Martin will line up on Tippett, but who knows their starting 18

Let's see some fire, boys. I can't wait for Friday!!

Green is best at FF. Jurrah can play anywhere near goal.

A few of them (Green, Watts & Jurrah...Bate) can roam around. I just name them in that position. Green can go out to half forward sometimes and mix it up, Jurrah can do just about anything but is more the KP player.

Two questions:

(1) What are the "new" rules (in summary) for this competition?

(2) Why would we pick players for this game(s) based on their ability to kick a 9-point-goal if they rule doesn't exist in the games that matter?

  • Visit the AFL site here for a summary, btw here is a link re:North's objection to the sides playing the first and second game.
  • I don't think there would be any emphasis on picking a player purely for the super goal. Super goals are just an added bonus if kicked from outside 50m. But Paul Wheatley loved them.

I would have thought Dunn and Green on the run were a better chance than Watts HT.

I cannot say I have seen every kick he has had but yet to see a goal from him approaching 50+ meters.

In fact he seldom has the confidence to go for a goal inside 50.

Watts kicked one from 55m at Etihad from a set shot

I would have thought Dunn should top this list after his repeated 50m+ goals last year.

Davey doesn't register many from that distance.

Agree. Dunn and Beamer on the run are the obvious candidates for me. Even Jones on the run.

Agree re Dunn, and Davey, although if Davey gets a chance to Buddy hook it they seem to sail through. The Freo comeback double fake masterpiece comes to mind.

McKenzie left out?

He performed well in the practice match too, I thought.

The must be managing his loads.

I agree again e25 this is getting too much.

I keep forgetting it is 9th Feb for god sake.

A lot of these guys will be eased into things, the first match is 7 weeks away.

Still like to win on friday though

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level.

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.
