Match Preview and Team Selection - Round 12


Demonland

Recommended Posts

Just our form against Port should be more than enough to seriously challenge the pies, it's just a matter of identifying these lapses early and blokes like Cross, Vince and Jones making sure they boys stay on task,

Dees by 11 points

Great tribute to Aaron Davey WJ. Cant wait to go to the G on Monday. The winter chill in the air, a packed crowd and we will be watching what the next ten years holds for us.

Dees by 15.

I'm with you, mate. Totally agree this is a winnable game.

What are some of the key match ups here?

Hopefully Jetta can do to Elliot what he did to Wingard and Cloke continues his horrible run (Bar last week)

Toumpas, Riley, McKenzie named for Casey but not Gawn.

That said Gawn could be held over as the emergency. With the Casey game on Saturday I could imagine they'd have 2 players (a big and a small held over for Monday).

It seems that everybody is overlooking this post which surely gives a strong hint on what the selectors are thinking! Personally l would prefer to see Riley get a run at the expense of Terlich ( no disrespect intended ).

........and I hope Jack Watts pays em back for his debut game against them. Kick the last two Jack.

Why stop at that. First two, last two, as long as it is enough.

We wont try and expose them for height, we will go for some versatility and try and prevent their run from the back half, therefore Gawn makes way for Dawes, I think it's between Toumpas and Riley and Mckenzie will only come in if there is a specific run with role for him

Yep, that's how i see it.

We are going to seriously out size their second tier defenders. Langdon and toovey Will cop watts and Pederson so they might really miss maxwell

Watching the replay from last year really highlights the improvement in the team

http://www.afl.com.au/video/smart-replay?round=CD_R201301411&matchId=CD_M20130141106

This is the team we went with this time last year.

  • Lynden Dunn,
  • Cameron Pedersen,
  • Dean Terlich

HB

  • Colin Garland,
  • Tom McDonald,
  • Sam Blease

C

  • Jack Trengove,
  • Colin Sylvia,
  • Dean Kent

HF

  • Jordie McKenzie
  • Jack Fitzpatrick
  • Jack Watts

F

  • David Rodan,
  • Chris Dawes,
  • Aaron Davey

Fol

  • Mark Jamar,
  • Matt Jones,
  • Nathan Jones

I/C

  • Michael Evans,

IN:

Jetta, Grimes, Cross, Tyson, Vince, Bail, Frawley, Viney, Gawn, JKH, Riley, Salem

2013 centre line: Trengove, Sylvia, Kent

I think Frawley will go back with a more mobile Dunn or Howe to go forward. Roos has been trying to add flexibility to the team and this should be where we see benefit. Their back line is not great and without Frawley down back I cannot see holding both Cloke and White. Dawes in for Toumpas. Riley in for JKH who has a rest.

Cross to Pendlebury?

My key match-ups would be

Nath Jones to Pendlebury (Nath has played a lot against opposition captains)

Cross to Beams (Prob the next most damaging)

Expecting MaCaffer to be tagging Dom.

Dunn on Cloke

    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.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
