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?

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.

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

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.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
