4. Sylvia

5. Davey

6. Grimes

* Sylvia keeps coming to mind as the only player who could take the number one mantle from Frawley.

C'mon Col ... time to explode!

2 Jamar

3 Jurrah

4 Grimes

5 Garland

6 Green

7 Davey

8 McKenzie

9 Scully

10 Morton

Ranked in that order primarily because of the importance of having them fit and the importance of having these particular 10 play well all year...

Grimes' short kicking to a 50/50 contest means he doesn't make my top 8.

Scully, who people criticise as having a poor kick, has an action that will become Elite as early as this season.

4 Green

5 Davey

6 Jurrah

7 Watts

8 Scully

9 Trengove

No Sylvia?

No. Don't get me wrong, we needs Sylvia to become an A grade star and he was great last year, but THIS YEAR I believe that the 10 I listed are the 10 most important for team structure. Once 3 or 4 of them go down we are in serious strife.

1. Frawley

2. Green

3. Jamar

4. Jurrah

5. Scully

6. Davey

7. Sylvia

8. Jones (people seem to have forgotten how much grunt he gave us last year and how much he had improved on previous years. Those same people also tend to forget that he is now making what I consider a remarkable recovery from what was essentially a very debilitating injury that few players would come back from so quickly - we NEED his G&D and if he can take a similar step up to last season again, he will be very useful)

9. Grimes

10. Bennell (another player people have already written of... again! - his second half of last season showed that he is going to be a very very valuable player for us going ahead. His run and his innate ability to get the ball will prove essential as long as he becomes more consistent)

Green

Frawley

Jamar

Sylvia

Grimes

Jurrah

If we don't get consistent first use of the ball from the centre bounce we will struggle to win games

If we don't pressure the opposition as they go into their forward 50 then a backline with King Kong and Voldemort

won't stop them kicking goals and we will struggle to win games

If we can't deliver with precision into our forward 50 we will struggle win games

Jurrah in the list because he is Jurrah

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
