Our best 22 if we make it.



Recommended Posts

My Best 22.

FB: Jetta  Omac  Lewis
HB: Hunt  Frost   Hibberd
C: Salem  Viney  Harmes/Vince
HF: Hannan Tmac  Petracca
FF: Garlett  Hogan Watts
Foll: Gawn  Oliver  Jones
Int: Melksham Tyson Bugg/Harmes ANB

Emerg Brayhaw

I think Vince might struggle to get in. This is assuming a Brayshaw gets form back!

Bloody hard team to pick! Imagine if Vandenberg was available??

Very little chance Brayshaw makes it back into the seniors, and also you forgot Salem.

I 100% agree with this side. If we could field this side in the finals we will be hard to beat.

Dam. Makes it easier to leave Brayshaw out then..

If we make finals and Tom McDonald is still playing forward, I'll drop dead.

Once Watts is back, I believe Tom will slot straight back where he belongs at CHB.

And I hope it's this week.

That's a fair point.

If T.McDonald goes back then O. McDonald goes out.

Well said.

For me. When Watts comes in I'd like to see T. Mc replace O.Mc down back.

I think we play worse when we're too top (tall) heavy.

Interesting that everyone has Melksham in the team.

He was taking a pasting from many on the forum earlier in the season. Great to see he has come good

Would be interested to see who posters consider bottom 6 as that is often how team strength is measured.

In no order my six would be:

Melksham, ANB, Harmes, Hannan, Vince and perhaps Lewis

(I have assumed JKH and Bugg are not in the team.)

I'm assuming that Brayshaw won't be fit to play.

From the two teams above, it looks like a lot will depend on JKH and Harmes' form over the coming weeks.

Either of them would be considered our "22nd player" in my view, which, when you use the "quality of your bottom 6" argument, we're almost getting to a side that will be a serious contender.

That said, I think either of the above sides are more than capable of winning finals this year.

The surprise packet for me is Hannan.  Hasn't he done a terrific job to cement a spot in our 18?

He adds so much versatility to our forward line, I wasn't sure about him early on but he's quickly becoming a favourite of mine.

A great example of quality not quantity.  Doesn't get huge numbers, but he kicks goals, pressures and tackles hard, gets to the right spots and can take a mark.

Ticks a lot of boxes for mine moving forward.

Being reported that Salem is a good chance this weekend, is he going to get injured again, if you know can you let us all know when to look away!

Love him. He's due a screamer. A player who couls bob up with 3 critical goals in a final. Really tricky match up too.

He's everything in a forward that Jeremy Howe wanted to be.

Yeah, but in his defence, when he was playing for us nobody gave a thought to him being a backman.... it took the genius of Collingwood to try him there...

But remember Jeremy is playing in a successful team (14 v 7) ?

Joking aside, what an inspired selection has Hannan been.   Quick, hard, leap, goal sneak.  A real surprise packet.

Why are people writing of brayshaw so quickly assuming he plays VFL this week or next,he would surely be close to match fit by finals time. I know a lot has to go right but Hogan and Gawn both didn't go through the VFL.

I deff have him in my best 22 ahead of melksham harmes ANB and JKH.

Both Hogan and Max have a few more runs on the board than Gus. Don't forget why he was at Casey when his unfortunate series of concussions began. He was omitted from the AFL team for reasons of form.

I also hope he gets back quickly to full health and good form but I wouldn't be backing him to reclaim his place just yet. Probably not this year

But without any need to provide anymore content on OMAC, won't you be dropping dead online anyway? How will we know the difference?

    2024 Player Reviews: #39 Koltyn Tholstrop

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die!
