Post your Round 1 2015 team


P-man

Recommended Posts

I'm jumping on this one early cause if think any more about the end to this season, I will be reaching for the pill bottle.

I realise this is a tough exercise after yesterday but that's kinda the point.

- Leave holes where you believe there are some.

- Be as realistic as possible, i.e. don't post Jones and Hogan and leave 20 spots vacant.

- Expect Saty to chuck a tanty (also known as a Satanty). Continue on regardless.

My crack at it:

B: Garland Dunn Jetta

HB: Salem McDonald <vacant>

C: Vince Jones <vacant>

HF: Toumpas Hogan <vacant>

F: Howe Dawes JKH

R: Gawn Tyson Cross

Int: Trengove Michie Viney Riley

Barry

A lot depends on Trengove and Toumpas coming good and having a belter of a pre-season, but three spots to fill isn't panic stations.

I also believe Howe needs to be moved forward again next year. Intercept marks in the backline are nice but he is far more damaging taking grabs up the other end.

Sorry, you had me going until you said no to Jones and Hogan and 20 blank spots.

One game OD. Out of a four game career. He's shown signs he can make smart decisions under pressure and can handle a direct opponent.

I'd rather this not just be people critiquing my team. I'd like to see other's teams.

Actually chap, no not a bad exercise, I suffered as much as everybody yesterday, I have sat through some shockers but that has to be up thereI actually agree with most, although being the eternal optimist, I would still have Frawley in there, dropped a bit because mishit the quote, I actually thought Bail and Pedersen were locks with Roos but it seems not, but you never know

Saty if Barry is an AFL grade player I am a monkeys uncle.

I have doubt he is a good VFL player.

He must be close to the skinnest AFL player going around.

If you have a skinny build in AFL you have to be very Good to make it.

It is a bit like height in Basketball if you are short you have to have Michael Jordan ability to make it.

Barry is not very good.

I know P-man but with the changes that will happen between now and March 2015 it is almost an impossible task.

My team would have nine players the rest would be blanks.

Why no Dunn?

Dunn and Kent are two that I missed.

Dunn should probably be in there. He's been back to very ordinary of late but if he can bring his early season form he's in. Kent has major question marks over what he does when we don't have the ball but could mount a case for him also.

Agree with no Kent he cannot kick, we have way too many that cannot hit the side of a barn with a howitzer.

Jetta Dunn Howe

Garland McDonald (Insert Recruit)

Vince Jones (Insert Recruit)

Watts Hogan (Insert Recruit)

JKH Dawes Gawn

Jamar, Tyson, (Insert Recruit)

Cross Kent Pedersen Viney

Trengove can included in the possible New Recruits but I don't want to rely on so many youngsters in the midfield rotation again.

We are still in need of some AFL talent through the middle and while I would probably not spend a high pick on it - I want some solid bodies to compete for 22 rounds next year.

As for the ruck - Jamar has no value to us other than what he can put on the field next year - let's see where Gawn is in another year and move from there.

I have little idea about the four new recruits that we can get but I would target 2 good inside/outside mids (hopefully one 22 or younger), an established HBF with great skills, and an established outside mid with excellent skills.

So another off season of Tyson and Vince would be good and a Malceski and a Suckling thrown in as well...

Watching Dawes this year, we need another tall forward. Peter Wright fits what we need 200+cm forward ruck. Get him Petracca with picks 2/3 then grab Duggan with pick 20 odd

With Hogan and Dawes (and Gawn?) I don't think it's as crucial a need as the lack of skills further up the ground.

A large part of the reason were not scoring is we are bombing it in hope or continually kicking to the wrong spots. Another large part of why we're terrible is that we turn it over like we are giving away leather in a fire sale.

When we improve our ball users, the rest will follow.

Not to say that another tall forward isn't somewhere on the list of needs.

And who knows. Maybe we'll finally get a piece of luck and a certain M Clark will decide he wants to play footy again.

Really don't care who the 22 are once they run both ways, back up their team mates and do the basics leaving nothing out there.

I'm the closest I have ever been to walking away from this club

No amount of training the house down, pre-season performances or any spin they put on how our boys are doing will get me enthused until I start seeing the boys having a dip from Round 1 and in the proceeding weeks, because it is going to take at least half a dozen solid performances in the first two months next season for me to think we are heading in the right direction.

Would love to see a poll answered by all demonlanders on who would have Watts in their 22. There would obviously be few, but how few is what I'm interested in. I would be one of the few (for now).

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    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
