So the "who am I" topic offered me a bit of inspiration.

Thus, I thought I'd start a little competition for some fun. As an incentive, I'll give in $20 to the winner.

Quite simply, name the 22 you believe will be playing round 1 in 2013. Will Toumpas or Viney get a gig? Will Taggert be there? What about Rodan, Byrnes or Pedersen? Will Mitch Clark make it back in time? Who's body will withstand the hard preseason?

Who can claim the bragging rights of being able to pick the 22?

Entries close December 15.

Rules:

  1. Only 1 entry per person.
  2. Name the 22 players.
  3. Indicate who you think will be on the the bench for the start of the game.
  4. Indicate who you think will be the sub.
  5. Melbourne's score for Round 1.

Determining the winner:

  1. The person with the most correct guesses of the 22.
  2. In the case of a tie, the person with the most correct guesses on the bench.
  3. In the case of a tie, the person who can guess the sub.
  4. If still no winner, the closest guess to Melbourne's score for round 1.

How to play:

Simply go to:

https://docs.google....U9qeXc6MQ#gid=0

And place your entry. Also, as I'm running the competition, I'll rule myself out. But I'll post my team on here before the close date. I'll also show stats on the most popular picked etc.

Good luck!

It is a good idea but why not make it $5 to enter and winner takes all 100 guesses and that's a cool 520 to the winner? Your game your choice off course!

Here's my team that I'm about to enter. There's usually a surprise for round 1, such as Tynan this year, or Weetra a couple of years back (the worst ever to pull on the red and blue?) but I'm not sure we'll see that in 2013.

Melbourne Demons:

B: 26 - Daniel Nicholson, 8 - James Frawley, 20 - Colin Garland

HB: 4 - Jack Watts, 25 - Tom McDonald, 14 - Lynden Dunn

C: 9 - Jack Trengove, 2 - Nathan Jones, 31 - Jack Grimes

HF: 38 - Jeremy Howe, 6 - Chris Dawes, 44 - Rohan Bail

F: 21 - Cameron Pedersen, 11 - Mitch Clark, 10 - Shannon Byrnes

R: 40 - Mark Jamar, 12 - Colin Sylvia, 13 - Jordie McKenzie

I: 5 - Jimmy Toumpas, 7 - Jack Viney, 17 - Sam Blease, (15 - David Rodan)

E: 39 - Neville Jetta, 30 - James Sellar, 35 - Luke Tapscott

and then with the leftovers...

Casey Scorpions

B: 46 - Dean Terlich, 27 - Tom Gillies, 41 - Troy Davis

HB: 19 - James Strauss, 30 - James Sellar , 28 - Joel Macdonald

C: 32 - Michael Evans, 22 - James Magner, 39 - Neville Jetta

HF: 23 - Josh Tynan, 48 - Jack Fitzpatrick, 35 - Luke Tapscott

F: 37 - Max Gawn, 1 - Jesse Hogan*, 36 - Aaron Davey

R: 42 - Jake Spencer, 47 - Tom Couch, 45 - Matt Jones

I: 33 - Dominic Barry, 34 - Dean Kent, 43 - Rory Taggert

by doing the second team, it's evident that our depth matches the outlay of the team pretty well now. Once the best 22 is selected, the remaining players make up a pretty balanced side.

It's also evident that we will have a pretty damn good Casey side next season if our players stay fit, and it will be tough for scorps players to get a game given we've bought in older, more mature players...

The only players I could imagine running around for Casey reserves are Barry, Kent, our 2 new rookies, and maybe but I hope not Flash... Hogan could I guess also depending on how he goes as a 17 year old...

*BUMP*

Some interesting selection choices so far!

Some of the observations:

Of the 8 teams submitted so far:

6 have Sellar in the 22.

3 have Rodan as the Sub.

Byrnes make an appearance in all 8

Clark has only made an appearance in 2 of the teams.

Don't forget to submit your team! Easy $20 for the winner for a bit of fun.

I'll submit my team on the board closer to the close date.

Pederson is a funny one as he could either start forward or back on the day. 50/50 chance, but great team

I have read that Blease isn't fit enough as is let alone playing wing and HFF, there goes your chance at $20

Also bit heavy down back?

Don't think either Trengove or Clark will be match fit by then (hope I am wrong as I think Clark adds a dimension that adds a greater potency, versatility and difficulty to match up)

So have crunched the entries as I was overseas for the first 2 rounds.

8 people got 18 of the starting 22.

Of those 8, 2 people had 3 of the starting bench players.

Of those 2, none got the sub.

But the person that got closest to Melbourne's final score was.....

1982 All-Stars!

Congrats!

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    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
