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).

B: Garland Dunn Jetta

HB: Toumpas McDonald Malceski

C: Vince Jones Trengove

HF: Watts Dawes Viney (tackle and learn to crumb)

F: Howe Hogan JKH

R: Gawn Tyson Salem

Int: Michie Cross Petracca/Brayshaw

As i notice that you don't have a sub, i would make Watts the sub

 

Round 1 2015

Jetta Mcdonald Garland

Toumpas Dunn Howe

Vince Trengove Watts

Petracca Hogan O'keefe

JKH Dawes Gawn

Jamar Jones Tyson

Viney Brayshaw Cross

Salem

The sad thing is that all of these attempts at selecting a viable 2015 team reek of same old same old.. we're doomed for 10 years if we're relying on the likes of Dawse, Garland, Watts , Grimes,, Howe , and others to suddenly become consistent and effective footballers .

We've seen years and years of the same rubbish from the same people ,to know that they're not EVER going to be up to it!

Geez I'd be surprised if Watts would get Casboult from a team that needs Casboult.

No point doing this exercise anymore

Unless we find some spirit and pride in this club any team on paper is a write off

B: Jetta McDonald Howe

HB: Toumpas Dunn ??

C: Vince N Jones Viney

HF: Kent Dawes ??

FF: JKH Hogan Pedersen

R: Gawn Tyson Cross

I: Watts Salem ?? ??

I'm backing Toumpas in for half-back. We need someone who can actually kick the ball coming off half-back and instead of going looking for one elsewhere I want to back us in to get Toumpas into that role. No certainty, obviously. The other half-back is missing.

Pedersen to play third tall forward and second ruck. Jamar's past it and I see enough in Gawn for him to take over.

I don't have Garland or Grimes in the side. Not convinced either of them is worthy of a spot. They may slot into that empty half-back spot, or we may bring someone in to take that.

We also need someone else rotating mid/forward, plus another two midfielders. Trengove may be that mid/forward, which I'd be happy with, but we'll wait and see on that. Michie might be another mid on the bench, but again not sure.

I'm liking this team without Garland, Grimes or Frawley!! Can already imagine us starting to hit targets again.

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
