I love having fun with the side, but this could be close enough to the side we put out on the park in round 1.

Of course injurys come into play also and F Ray may not make it over to the dees.

If we go out with similar side like this we are not going to be a walk over like 2012.

#1 We have strong bodied,tall forward line.

#2 Quick run and spread players like Blease, Byrnes, F Ray* Davey if he gets his body right.

#3 Midfield that can rotate forward Jones, Grimes, Trengrove Bail, Howe, Sylvia all can play mid/forward

#4 And also this is one more preseason under Dave Misson players like Grimes, Trengrove, Howe, Watts, Blease,

#5 We are going to be stronger and matured,

Save to say I am excited are you?

Nearly every small man on your team has /had an issue at some time.

It occurs to me that we actually NEED Neville Jetta in the team.

I cant see Tappscott going backwards either.

Heres mine-assuming a full list ,injury free ,which never happens.

Pederson could play that role couldn't he?

Agree with Good Times Grimes and jnr mac. Too early. Not even half way through trade period and FA still a week to go. Plus a draft. I'll wait until our list is more complete.

Trengove starting on the bench? outrageous

I also like that you've added players who are currently at other clubs

Neeld started Trengrove on the bench this year, OUTRAGEOUS? hardly, Have you seen who starts on the bench for Collingwood each week?

Its the modern game, starting on the bench and coming on 3 minutes into a game what is the difference?

Was a flip between him and Viney and it was just my opinion to go with Viney.

Other players such as Pederson and Dawes which alll reports say are 85% or more going to play with the dees in 2013, and F Ray who I stated may not make it over to us??

Get with it mate

i didn't agree with him starting on the bench then and i don't now, no need to get all up in arms about it. You're telling me round 1 2013 you want one of your captains on the bench? I think you should "get with it"

I believe we started a game this year with both Grimes and Trengove on the bench!

We need a closest to the pin competition here; I have probably got about five wrong!

Posted (edited)

The teams suggested are interetsting but I iook at them and wonder what an opposition coach would think. Without significant improvement by some players it's still not daunting. I can see them winning a few more games but not challenging for a top 8 position. Somebody please tell me I'm wrong?

ps There are a handfull of players that would be lucky to be named on the bench of a top team.

I'm going to wait until our final list lodgement to do this. We don't know about players like Rivers, Dunn, Dawes, Wines, Pederson, Ray etc. It could look a lot different.

I hope we do the deals that we've been planning - Rivers out if we can't keep him, Pedersen and Dawes in and Farren Ray in is an interesting one. I'm sure Neeld will be keen to play Ray and Byrnes if he gets them over because otherwise why would you bother? But it puts pressure on the likes of Bail, Blease and Tapscott to hold their spots. Whilst I'm sure our midfield depth will be much improved this year and the likely Viney/Wines combo hopefully adds 2 stars of the future we will rely on depth much more than talent next year.

For all the excitement about Viney etc, the team (in its various versions) is pretty mediocre, at best. We've got a long way to go in building a good list.

Nevertheless, it's a massive improvement on what took the field this year.

I hope this draft/trade period will be look upon in future years as a rebirth. When we got rid of the chaff and started to recruit FOOTBALLERS.

Neeld appears to be a fan of Joel MacDonald so he will probably push one player out.

The list above is probably who I want to be in there, not who will be.

Neeld will msot definitely use Viney, pick 4.. i do think he will choose to use Barry before he decides to use Jetta, to develop Barry.

Its a very solid looking side with pick 4 being a midfielder (hopefully)

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
