Best side vs last week side

Featured Replies

Melbourne round two vs Best
B: Lynden Dunn, James Frawley, Alex Georgiou (Col Garland)
HB: Jack Grimes, Tom McDonald, Dean Terlich (?)
C: Jack Trengove (?), Dom Tyson, Daniel Cross
HF: Jack Watts, Cam Pedersen (Chris Dawes), Jimmy Toumpas
F: Jeremy Howe, Jack Fitzpatrick (Mitch Clarke), Rohan Bail (Jessie Hogan)
FOLL: Jake Spencer (Max Gawn), Nathan Jones, Bernie Vince
I/C: Shannon Byrnes, Matt Jones (Jack Viney), Jay Kennedy-Harris, Viv Michie,

The sad fact is we playrd near the best side last week minus a quality forward or two. We were flogged but I cant see too many changes to the backline or midfield. Most teams play with at least a couple of the best 22 in rehab.

Garland is not a game changer in the backline and neither is Gawn in the ruck. Jack Viney is ripper but we cant expect his inclusion to turn the middfield around

Are Terlich and Trengove in the best 22? I am not convinced with either player and would consider MacKenzie for Terlich and M Jones, Evans, Blease and Kent as replacements for Trengove especially if pace is a consideration.

What is your best side and can the current list be competetive with a good dose of confidence and some more time learining the game plan?

 

No McKenzie? I'd have him in the side ahead of Byrnes.

 

My effort at our best side so early in the season is:

B: Lynden Dunn, James Frawley, Dean Terlich

HB: Col Garland, Tom McDonald, Jack Grimes

C: Daniel Cross, Dom Tyson, Jack Watts

HF: Bernie Vince , Chris Dawes, Jeremy Howe

FF : Jay Kennedy-Harris, Mitch Clarke,Jessie Hogan

FOLL: Max Gawn , Nathan Jones,Jack Viney

I/C: Matt Jones, Viv Michie, Trengove Toumpass

Agree. That is our best 22. Very few teams get their best 22 out there for many games in a season, so a big part of the problem is depth. As a rebuilding team (again), ours is very very shallow.


I think it would be easier to win tattslotto than get our best side onto the park together.

On that you are 100% correct.

I would add way easier

Clearly our best effort for the year was the NAB win against Richmond notwithstanding suggestion that the opposition might have coasted a bit.

The players involved are the same as the ones playing now bar Barry, Blease, Evans, King, McKenzie and Strauss (not many big names there).

The forward line was without Clark, Dawes, Hogan AND Fitzy. Spencer rucked. The win came upon the the back of an intensity at the contest but this was mostly missing last week and to a degree against St Kilda. It seems to me that a number have decided that the game style is 'too hard'. Trengove was arguably our best FFS.

  • 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.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
