I know there are 1000 of these threads but I couldn't find one for me to post in, so I created another. Demonland has become quite depressing and boring so what do you think would our lineup be with everyone fit and firing for round 1, 2012?

Oh... ok... I'll bite.

FB: Bartram Frawley Garland

HB: Grimes Rivers Gysberts

C: Trengove Scully(?) Davey

HF: Petterd Watts Sylvia

F: Wonaeamirri Jurrah Martin

Foll: Jamar Moloney Jones

Inter: McKenzie, Maric, Bail, Howe

Emergencis (extended)

Gawn, Nicholson, Blease, Strauss, Jetta, Warnock.

So, my obviously personal preferences are that I still like Bartram, see Jurrah mostly close to goal, and think that Maric, Bail and Howe are all going to develop nicely. Also, I still have faith in Warnock - such an unfortunate position, to be an 'essential' player but also 'fourth in line' for their position.

I'm losing faith in Bennell, think Bate is done and Dunn is 'bait. Still willing to give Morton a bit more time. Joel Mac keeps having brain farts which undermine his value as an experienced hand in defence, which is why he isn't in there.

Things I notice, structurally, is a lack of quality kickers in defence (Davey swinging to HB?) and the lack of a 'true' full forward (SHOCK INSIGHT!).

just say, "Alves, Wells, Flower" gently under your breath one thousand times and I guarantee you will feel better.

For me I would like to see us line up, I'm leaving Scully and Maric out as I don't expect either to be at our club next year.

Tried to resist the temptation to respond so early before 2012 but could not help myself.

B : Strauss Frawley Rivers

HB: MacDonald Garland Tapscott

C : Jones Moloney Bail

HF: Petterd Cook Watts

F : Green Jurrah Davey

R : Jamar Trengove Grimes

IC: Martin McKenzie Howe Gysberts

E : Gawn, Blease,

NOTE : I am worried about the future of both Scully and Sylvia. Obviously both would be in our best 22 if they are around in 2012. As much I would hate to do so, I reckon Howe and McKenzie would come out of the 22 for Scully and Sylvia. I might have to have a rethink - Jordie is a must in our best 22.

I know it's been said elsewhere many times, but could someone please remind me of the minimum amount of players we need to delist?

If you include Tapscott that might somewhat address the kicking deficiency off the backline. Assume it was an oversight that you left him out?

    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
