Heard someone say that your not a serious contender without five or six high quality players competing for selection.

For everyone its clearly Gawn and Hogan.

Who are the other 4, assuming everyone from dogs game is included?

    JKH, Weiderman, Wagner, Trengove. On this metric, we're probably at least 3-4 players off premiership contention then...

    Stretch, Brayshaw, ???, ??? Definitely need another key position player pushing for selection.

    Another way of stating this metric is looking at the strength of your bottom six as selected.

    Our bottom 6 played well against the Dogs and the Pies but other than that our bottom 4-5 have been unsettled for weeks.

    Would love to see Stretch and Brayshaw force their way into a successful team rather than be part of the merry go round of ins and outs we saw earlier this season.

    If list fit, healthy and in form: Vandenberg, Brayshaw, Stretch, Wagner, Trengove, Smith, Weiderman, JKH, ...

    Both Smiths , but still a bit light on.  Based on this, the off season will be another very important one for our list managers to capitalise on our current (seemingly) strong position.

    It's the kind of throw-away comment that doesn't really hold up to scrutiny.

    It would have to be the five players on your list that wouldn't be in your best 22 if the entire list was fit, in form and available.

    Probably take your pick from:

    KENT

    BUGG

    STRETCH

    MELKSHAM

    WAGNER

    HARMES

    ANB

    AVDB

    WEIDEMAN

    That's a decent list of players that may not be in the best 22 if all are fit and available.

    Was kind of thinking the same thing which is why I wanted other opinions.Our top 22 is awesome but every team cops injuries. 

    Need to keep recruiting the way we have and a flag will come.

    Forgot about Brayshaw. Hes a big one. Agree with Wagner, Weid, Vanders and maybe stretch. Not a bad list then.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
