Team for Round 1

Featured Replies

I am assuming teams will be picked today since there is a game tomorrow? Or is it the normal Thursday for teams, with the exception of Richmond and Carlton?

 

It's not as easy as i thought. We seem to be developing some depth. I'm sure fitness and the attitude shown on the training track will be the final determinants.

B: Bartram Frawley Rivers

HB: Grimes Sellar Garland

C: Trengove Moloney Watts

F: Davey Martin Howe

F: Petterd Clark Green

R: Jamar Jones Magner

I/C: Gysberts Dunn Bate

S: McKenzie

Aint it great "its not so easy"

thats why I'll leave it to the coach.

I now (through demonlanders comments and reports) know more about our players than ever but still dont know enough(anything) about our structures and strategies and even less about the opposition.

I just hope that the coaching etc team do and have a variety of plans.

GO DEES

 

I just hope we have a plan of attack,this full defensive plan in boring to watch. Also last time we played the Lions they doubled our possesion count.

I really like the fact that trying to guess the Round 1 team is harder than it has been for a while. Here goes.

Backs: Bartram, Frawley, Rivers, Garland, T MacDonald, Blease,

Mids: Trengove, Jones, Gysbert, Moloney, Bate, Bail

Ruck: Jamar,

Forwards: Green, Watts, Howe, Clark, Petterd,

Bench: Davey, Magner, Martin

Sub: Dunn

In my perfect team:

LJ as a forward - Green to the bench

Sylvia into the midfield - Magner to Casey

Strauss as a backman - Tom MacDonald to Casey

Tapscott into the midfield - Bate to Casey

Davey as sub - Dunn to Casey

It's going to be really interesting to see which way Neeldy goes this weekend. For what it's worth..

B: Bartram, Sellar, Rivers

HB: Grimes, Frawley, Garland

C: Howe, Moloney, Magner

HF: Pettard, Martin, Dunn

F: Green, Clark, Davey

R: Jamar, Trengove, Jones

B: Watts, Bate, Blease

Sub: McKenzie

I've tried to keep my personal views free from this selection and tap into Neeldy's brain.

1. Neeld seems to demand Sellar in his structure, so even though I'd be reluctant to play him against Brisbane, it seems he'll take his spot.

2. He will have told Magner whether or not he's playing and he'll make a point of it by naming him on the ground rather than on an extended bench.

3. Watts he'll name on the extended bench because he would make a similar statement the other way.

4. I really don't know where Jordie McKenzie is at... he's had quite an underdone pre-season but he didn't play last week which confuses me. I've got him as my sub, but this could easily be Bennell's possie.

All I can say is bring on Saturday because I'm chomping at the bit to see the boys get stuck in!!

GO DEES!!!

I generally like your work and while there is no logical reason why McDonald and Blease can't play back and Green play forward, there is very little chance that this is going to happen this week under Neeld. McDonald and Blease have trained with the forwards all pre-season and Green is playing higher, up in the midfield.

If it's a 'policy' I am against it.

If it happens by osmosis while we are developing five stars of the competition then hooray, but who cares, because we would have 5 stars of the competition.

We can continue the argument if you want to - depth gets you a solid, middling team.

I don't care for those teams, I want a flag.


B: Bartram. Frawley. Rivers

HB: Grimes. Sellar. Garland

C:Trengove Moloney. Blease

HF: Howe. Martin Dunn

FF: Davey. Clark Green

R: Jamar. McKenzie. Jones

I: Gysberts Watts Magner. Bate

I don 't think Petterd will play.I believe he is injured.

I don't get the love for Couch and Magner in this thread. I've seen them be good grunt players but neither have yet to do anything at all classy. Putting both in would be silly IMO.

I disagreed and I suspect the coach does too. Couch has just been elevated and Magner is a given. They're just about our best 'inside' mids already. They lack class, but are very effective in clearances, they're both hungry, they both give grunt and they're both tackling machines. Neeld's first thoughts are to get the ball moving our way from stoppages and they'll do that.

Both will be named and debut on Saturday. I look forward to seeing what they contribute.

showed on the footy show tonight, the squad is:

B: Bartram, Frawley, Mckenzie

HB: Rivers, Garland, Sellar

C: Bate, Trengove, Davey

HF: Martin, Clark, Green

F: Dunn, Petterd, Howe

R: Jamar, Jones, Moloney

INT: Watts, Bennell, Nicholson, Magner, Bail, Tynan, Couch, Grimes

From that bench I'm predicting the bench will be Watts, Magner, Grimes and Bennell will be the SUB

for those interested, the lions side is:

B: Maguire, Merrett, Stiller

HB: McGrath, Patful, Adcock

C: Hawksley, Black, Rich

HF: Polkinghorne, Karnezis, Rockliff

F: Beams, Leunberger, Banfield

R: Hudson, Redden, Polec

INT: Hanley, Golby, Bewick, Sheldon, Longer, Crisp, O'brien, Lester, Harwood

Maybe they'll tweak that a little.

Though I've always advocated Martin @ CHF, perhaps Martin & certainly Jamar would be more comfortable as big men around the square (& Sellar could come forward for a few minutes) leaving Clark CHF much of the day, where we've been weak forever.

I doubt they'll do it this week, but Watts with his speed, skill & excellent delivery to the forwards, could be one of our best wingmen.


INT : Magner Grimes Bail & ?

Happy with that side - it's the obvious best available 25 at this point. Grimes is presumably on the extended bench pending fitness. Don't think Bennell or Tynan will be in the side - Watts, Magner, Bail, Couch and Nicholson will fight for the last three spots, with my preference being in that order.

Given Nicho was named on the (extended) bench, does it follow that he is eligible to play and has thus been promoted to the senior list? Or am I missing something?

Thanks for that.

I think with Couch's elevation he will be in the final four with Magner, Watts, and Grimes.

I think Couch might be the sub at this stage.

This is not the team, the Footy Show failed to mention they are guessing, the only two teams named were Richmond and Carlton

 

The squads and benches on the FS are always educated guesses. I'm almost certain that this bench line-up hasn't come from the club.

Really? I hadn't realised that "educated" and "footy show" could be used in the same sentence.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
