Players to target at the end of the year



Recommended Posts

If I didn't barrack for MFC I would put Viney behind McRae, Wines, Libba and Bontempelli. Bye the bye Libba senior was in Seminyak this week. Stayed at the Breezes Hotel/Resort.. The weather was fantastic.

Bontempelli has had a few good games, but it's unfair to say that he's proven more than Viney.

Libba is definitely ahead of Viney.

Agree totally at this stage but all 3 are very good footballers

Having said that I think Tyson at his best is as good as any of them, but he is a little bit hot and cold, Wines and Mcrae are playing like 150 gamers consistently, I know it's a topic to avoid on here, I have faith in Jimmy but wow would Wines be handy in our side

Did you go out with him and get a display of his white line fever. Or has he cleaned up his act for good

Viney can burst out of packs with regularity, i havent seen Wines or Macrae do that. Macrae has received alot of flack for possession use.

Viney can run into two players and keep gonig.

He is a rare breed in inside ball

Wines can run into 4 players and keep going.

Viney needs alot of work on his disposal efficiency.

Sorry but your wrong on this one.

Tyson has had a pretty hard tag most weeks too

Wines ahead of Viney by quite a margin.

That isn't a slight on Viney, he was injured much of last year.

I think Jack Viney needs to work on slowing his game down at times.

McRae finds a lot of space, because he isn't rushed, same as Bontempelli.

After hawks v swans block buster... any players from these lists would be welcome.

Gary Rohan impressed me and if available, would be handy!!!

Rohan showed a lot tonight and there is more to him than pace, certainly worth keeping an eye

Seems much better suited down back. Plays like Blease when forward. All pace, no idea. But down back he has height and strength so can be a really good two way player.

Is Shuey injured? Haven't seen or heard of him for a while... Clearly when he plays well, the Eagles look great... He's a rock solid player and i definitely target him in a trade, if he could come back 100%... Same with Richard Douglas...

I saw a bit of him tonight in snippets & IMO looks ready to show up. getting reg games now, so may be hard to convince to move?

Some interesting reading on GWS' border protection worries:

Interesting article! It would be great if Roos was able to secure Cameron and/or Shiel come year's end!

Dayne Beams Is OOC next season and a free agent,

would be interested to see if some big dollars could get his interest, Collingwood might feel pick 3 or 4 is far better than the compo they would get next year if any.

Is he a FA though? I thought it's a min 8 yrs service for FA eligibility? Bumper crop next year either way. Dangerfield the big name, but Scott Selwood would be a terrific addition to our midfield. Not flashy, but can get the ball and is a tackling machine. We enquired about him when we floated pick 2 last year, I wonder if we've kept tabs on him?

His free agency status is currently up in the air, but i'd say there is a very strong chance next years crop the minimum is 6 years because of the huge push for that, which brings Beams right into the mix

I don't think there is a very strong chance at all, even the AFL can't change the rules regarding FA in the year they will implement it. They gave the initial FA a three year heads up.

Okay, fair enough

either way it leaves Beams OOC and as far as I am concerned fair game

    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

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
