Jetta- TMac-Salem

Hunt-Frost-Hibberd 

(Wagner, Bugg,Lumumba,White)

 

Melksham-Viney-Vince

(Brayshaw,Oliver,Kennedy,ANB,Newton,Trengove,stretch)

 

Petracca-Hogan-Kent

Watts-Weed-Garlett

(Vanders, Pedo,Harmes,)

 

ruck-Gawn-Jones-Tyson

 

Finally, we will have players I want in the team who don't fit due to depth! Snag one or two surprises in the trade period and it starts to get exciting

Not surprisingly, these teams look exactly like the current team, but with Hibberd and Melksham in them, so it's a pretty pointless exercise.  I suppose it's a good sign that this year, we don't have to put "PICK X" in our hypothetical next year's side.

I know he's been injured this year but I am disappointed that Fyfe wasn't selected somewhere. Other than that this looks fine to me.

Also, harsh on Terls, I'd have him on the ground somewhere. Doesn't matter where, he will get it done

Hibberd and Melksham in and the Bummers as our Round 1 opponent in preliminary AFL thoughts on the fixture, I believe! Well played, Gil!

Sorry Melksham should be in midfield group. Brings run and carry and footspeed. Good mix of mids.

Said the same thing last year but don't want to play Bombers first up or first game in Melbourne.

They will be so hyped up with their players back. 

Happy to play them later in the season.  

Demonlanders were laughing at me when I said we would lose to them in round 2, months earlier.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 20 vs GWS

    CONSISTENCY by The Oracle

    "I think we have got a team that can win a premiership, and if we get in this year, I don't think there is a team that is going to want to play us. This year is not a write-off, I don't concede that. Not at all." — Collingwood President Jeff Browne. I love this sort of optimism from the Magpie President after his club’s eleven goal defeat at the hands of the fast rising Hawks. It’s consistent with the fighting spirit of the club that won last year’s flag.  I only wish I could say the s

    FEARS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne’s worst fears about the absence of Max Gawn were realised when it received a shellacking from Fremantle’s ruckmen Sean Darcy and Luke Jackson who dominated the hit out tally in their game at Optus Stadium on Sunday by a massive 47 to 19. As a result, the 50-point deficit at the end of the game proved to be a loss that was long foreseen that was two years in the making and demonstrated a complete lack of hindsight and planning from the club. To add insult to injury, Jackson was a D

    PREGAME: Rd 20 vs GWS

    The Demons return to the MCG in Round 20 to take on the GWS Giants and will be hoping the injured Captain Max Gawn is fit to return to his role in the ruck as their season is slipping away. Who comes in and who comes out?

    RAIN CHECK by Whispering Jack

    The Frankston Dolphins broke a run of six straight losses against their neighbours, the Casey Demons and kept their hopes for a long-awaited return to the VFL finals alive with a 27 point victory over at Kinetic Stadium. Casey was welcomed to the Peninsula by grey skies, heavy rain and angry seas with threatening white-capped waves whipped up by gale force winds. After a slow start in the opening term when they failed to take advantage of the breeze, it appeared that the Demons had decided

    GAMEDAY: Rd 19 vs Fremantle

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a golden opportunity to stamp their 2024 finals credentials as well as make amends for their disastrous first meeting against the Dockers earlier in the season when they take on Fremantle at Optus Stadium.
