Our best 22 if we make it.

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?

    GOLDIE'S METTLE by Meggs

    On a perfect night for football at the home of the Redlegs, Norwood Oval, it was the visiting underdogs Melbourne who led all night and hung on to prevail in a 2-point nail-biter. In the previous round St Kilda had made it a tough physical game to help restrict Adelaide from scoring and so Mick Stinear set a similar strategy for his team. To win it would require every player to do their bit on the field plus a little bit of luck.  Fifty game milestoner Sinead Goldrick epitomised

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play
