Team for NAB 1 - Freo

PaulR
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

From the AFL site - Dees favour hard bodies for opener: Mahoney

Looks like we're going to cement our best 22 and be competitive (for membership drive) during the NAB cup rather than trialing the new kids...

    29 in the squad. Up to 26 to play I believe.

    No Trengove, Petracca, Howe, Vince, Neal-Bullen and unlikely King.

    That means 38 left on the list. 12 of whom will miss.

    I'd suggest Watts probably misses as well, that takes it back to 11.

    Best 26 at the moment is probably:

    FB: Jetta Frost Dunn

    HB: Garland McDonald Salem

    C: Lumumba Jones Jones

    HF: Kent Dawes JKH

    FF: Garlett Hogan Pedersen

    Foll: Jamar Tyson Cross

    Int: Gawn Viney Grimes Michie Newton Toumpas

    S: Stretch Riley

    Unlucky: McKenzie, Brayshaw, Terlich, Fitzy, Spencer, White, Vandenberg, Harmes, Hunt, Oscar Mc, Bail

    From that list I'd be keen to see Fitzy, Vandenberg and Bail play as they might be round 1 options, so if there are other injuries or senior players rested then get them in.

    Bail will be in the 26 IMO

    As will McKenzie IMO.

    It's not surprising. We can't do a Hawthorn and rest half the list in the knowledge we are already ahead of most of the pack. We need to get our guys out there and playing to get off to as good of a start as we can, which I'm hoping we can do!

    Watts won't feature against Freo

    He never does.

    I was hoping the club would follow this approach. The very last thing we need is to be belted by Freo in a meaningless game.

    We don't need to give young players a run, we have a good supply of hardened bodies that we have imported. And Roos refuses to "burn" junior talent so that he can be sure

    they are fully ready for the rigours of the season proper.

    Our supporters need something to hope for and have confidence that the coming season will see improvement all round.

    Damn! That is a deep burn!

    Nice new avatar.

    Hate to be the one to say it, but the flip side is the risk of getting beaten by Freo's second stringers...

    Practice match or not, you'd want a respectable performance from a full strength side.

    Glad to see the AFL have done a u-turn on this issue.

    The admin has shown that nothing has changed and they don't give a flying about fans when they tried to stop such streams as "they would not be the quality that our fans have come to expect". They were happier for us to have nothing.

    Obviously the public backlash has been strong enough to make the sods change their stance on this.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
