Sorry if someone's already said this. haven't bothered wading thru all 6 pages of comments. The exercise of naming a best 22 is just impossible to do at this stage. HOWEVER, the fact is that it ain

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?

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.

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt
