Not that regular a user of this forum so apologies if this has been done in another thread (please kindly point me in that direction if it has)

Neeld has been pretty open about having a tough, disciplined, play the percentages game plan...ie, the Collingwood plan he implemented

Supposedly in his dees interview he put the players names on the board and set out how he wants to play and where the missing pieces are

So assuming he wants to play the Collingwood plan...what do we think his starting 22 will be?

I've had a first crack based on lining up against the pies 2011 GF side...

B: Harry O (Garland) , Reid (Sellar?..though surely he won't be ready for rd1), Toovey (Bartram or Joel Mac)

HB: Shaw (Grimes), Tarrant (Frawley), Maxwell (Rivers)

C: Thomas (Blease?), Swan (Trengove), Ben Johnson (Bate or Jones)

HF: Didak (Sylvia), Cloke (Watts...not yet...but will have to play this lead up game), Krakour (Jurrah)

F: Sidebottom (Green), Dawes (Clark), Blair (Magner/Couch/Evans?)

Foll: Jolly (Jamar), Pendles (Gys...?), Ball (Maloney or McKenzie)

Inter: Wellingham (Bennell/Nicho?), Brown (Stef or Dunny), Davis (Davey), Fasolo (Tapscott)

Our X factors that could give us competitive advantage over the pies: Howe, Petterd

If only it where that easy, hopefully the new structure will see us having their consistency soon

Just doesn't feel right, this thread. Finger nails down the blackboard.

Yeah and substituting "Filth" instead of "Collingwood" in the name of the thread doesn't work either ! How about "TWSNBN Demons" .

If Neeld is going to be a successful coach I expect he would move on from the Collingwood game plan he helped develop or significantly update it to reflect ever changing challenges. Geelong proved it can be beaten in the ultimate game with simple rapid movement and disposal of the ball even if the ball had to be hacked or forced forward . A little of the Colligwood discipline and commitment won't go astray though.

If we start doing what they have been doing for past couple of seasons his game plan will become as effective as his predecessor's game.

There is one difference.

was his predecessor's plan ever successful?

I presume that you are meaning that every year a wannabe successful coach needs to move on.

I still have terrible memories of ND trying to emulate whatever plan the previous year's Premiers had used, and especially post 2000 it got us nowhere.

    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

    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.
