I'm very happy with that spine and would not be surprised if Terlich walked into a back pocket position.

Sorry Rolly, but how anyone can have Kent, or any of the new draftees (other than Viney and Jimmy), in their best 18 is beyond belief.

Clint, if Terlich is to walk into the back pocket, who does he replace - Grimes or Garland?

im not going to even try! too hard!

snap

Ill wait til i see some semblance of playing as a team come NAB cup.

One thing of note though, we wont recognise this new Demon side in 13

Practically half the team that will take the field next season will be different. It needs to be too...lol

Hell, we'll have forwards, who can kick and hurt scoreboards, we'll have a midfield whilst raw in many ways will have ability to get its ball and move it coherently. .We've even taken to shoring up our reasonably OK backline.

Might even play as a team...how novel :)

Seriously?

Absolutely I'm serious. For Terlich to come in, you need to remove one player. You've named Garland and Grimes in the position that you think Terlich could play. Sure, you could remove someone from the midfield and put Grimes there, but why wouldn't you have him in there in the first place?

Except for injuries, I can't see how this can be changed in any way whatsoever.

"Melbourne coach Mark Neeld said both Jones, who was originally from South Croydon and played his first season in the VFL this year, and Terlich would step straight into the senior ranks next year."

I would imagine competition for quite a few positions just got more intense.

Again, Im waiting to see who takes the field in the NAB to get a feel of how the new lineup will actually flesh out.

Gunna be some surprises I have no doubt :)

On the point of the NAB Cup whilst I think Neeld wouldn't mind winning it,I reckon for the first round were we play the two games I reckon we will see two completely different teams on the night......

22 is too hard, still think Neeld wants to play mix and match, and looks at having at least 30 ready to go at any one time, if a side has a smallish defence go with the serious size we have now, or the speed or whatever........and nobody is safe, I reckon one bad game or not following instructions/game plan and it will be Casey the following week...bring it on......you can already see it at training they pick the guys vieing for a spot against another in the drills........

Great Ben's think alike. :)

Most players in identical positions with Strauss and Rodan the only differences in the 22. I was tossing up whether to have Rodan in there at the expense of Strauss as well.

Agree with your fringe players, in particular really looking forward to seeing how Tynan, Taggert and Evans go next year.

Wrt the NAB i too would expect a bit of mixing and matching but i will take from the games a clearer picture of who might play where and how.

This will then go someways to indicating whst the composite and more normal 22 might look like.

I would say very few have their names already penciled in on the team sheet presently.

Neeld is going to demand players earn their games and the competition for this just took a few steps upward .

Be very different in 13; cant wait :)

I would hope they are in the mix B59! Imagine the outcry if we drafted a 25 year old and Neeld said "with 2 or 3 preseasons under his belt, he should start to press claims for a senior spot"!

Just because they are in the mix, doesn't mean they are best 18.

Nailed it, although I think both Taggert and Terlich will also be pushing hard for selection round 1.

I love the idea of Toumpas and Watts playing as back flanks, finally some decent delivery out of the backline.

I'm with Bub on the 22 though, way too much water to flow under that bridge before you can make an informed call.

  • 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.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    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.
