Ff- wona, jurrah, Howe

Fol- jamar, jones, trengove

Looks like a ripper team.

All we need is a top line coaching department.

We should be definitely aiming for finals.

Looks pretty good, but needs a power forward and one more hard bodied mid. Need to be aggresive during trade week and then i think that we could be a real finals force.

Oh and of corse a new experienced coaching staff.

Howabout;

Ff: wona, fevola, jurrah

Gysberts and McKenzie are ahead of Jones and Davey for mine. While the rest of the interchange (except Bartram) seems fine. Of course, you're missing Martin who should definitely be in there. Naturally, I'd also look to be getting a key position forward and push LJ into the pocket (leaving Aussie out for Howe). I'd also look at getting an experienced, hardened body into our midfield. On Davey's form this year and most of last, he shouldn't be making the team next year (unless he manages to reinvent himself in a new role). If we're to improve, Jones and Bartram should also be struggling to get games. Finals should certainly be the aim next season.

As you can see I've included two players I'm hoping Melbourne look at drafting. Travis Tuck is another mature aged inside midfielder I wouldn't mind us looking at.

Haven't included Nicholson in this team as I'm assuming he'll still be on the rookie list next year and I've resticted the team to players I believe will be on our senior list.

Interesting that 5 posters have listed their team and each has included Scully without commenting about whether he'll be available or not. Blind faith? Optimism?

He is a Demon until he says he isn't.

The more outlandish addition would Fevola or Sewell from the VFL.

Watts has already been told it's 'his' forward line, he is getting better at his body work and is learning how to be that forward we want.

And so we are going to plonk a 31 year old FF there for two years?

Interesting.

Is that an inside word or something I missed? He seems to be playing in a few different positions, which is strange if he's been given that message... Has anything been said about Jurrah's role in the fwd line?

Mentioned by Watts himself in an interview on the website (I can't remember when).

He's the future of the forward line and he is the smartest player we have - it makes sense to revolve it around his strengths.

Interesting that nobody has Fitzpatrick in there. I'm looking forward to them putting him in the goal square next year.

I had him in mine early in the thread. Given another pre season to bulk up he has all the attributes were after- tall, quick (and hopefully) strong. Not too many full backs would be able to handle a 200cm bloke who is extremely quick and able to take a grab!

I've done something different. I've divided the list into squads... and put in order of preference for each role that I see them playing in 2012. From that I have selected my team.

Key Defender - Frawley/Garland/Rivers/Macdonald/Warnock/McDonald

Rebounding Defender - Grimes/Bail/Blease/Nicholson/Evans

Centre Square - Moloney/Trengove/Scully/Gysberts/McNamara

Wings - Jones/Davey/Bennell/Morton

Tagger - McKenzie/Bartram

Crumbing Forward - Wonaeamirri/Maric

Key Forward - Watts/Jurrah/Howe/Green/Petterd/Dunn/Bate

Midfield/Forward - Sylvia/Tapscott/Jetta

Ruck - Jamar/Martin/Gawn/Spencer/Newton.

Injured/Untried - Strauss/Fitzpatrick/Cook/Davis/Lawrence/Campbell/Johnson

FB: Garland - Frawley - Grimes

HB: Blease - Rivers - Bail

C: Jones - Moloney - Davey

HF: Sylvia - Watts - Howe

FF: Petterd - Green - Jurrah

R: Jamar - Trengove - McKenzie

I: Martin - Scully - Tapscott

S: Bennell

E: Gysberts - MacDonald - Bartram - Jetta

Obviously this will change pending the outcome of trades and delistings... but from our current list, I think this is our best and most balanced line-up

We've got all the hard bodied mids we need, far too many, we are slow, hands feet and minds.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    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
