On Garlett, he was 2nd in the league for tackles inside forward 50 in 2017. He is also our highest goal scorer since joining Melbourne FC 3 seasons ago.  So, he's our highest goal scorer AND our be

Balic might surprise.  He has more skill and more upside than Harmes and ANB.  I also agree with some that Vanders is a lock.

He might but he has played 4 games in total and there is nothing to suggest he is best 22.

It's a bloody good team.

I'd have Tyson ahead of Vince, but will be fascinated to see how it pans out if Viney is available.

I think Fritsch and Hannan will both play.

Brayshaw and Harmes are the other two right on the cusp, but I like both.

It's hard to get 23 into 22.  Someone will be unlucky.

The older Lever gets, the more he'll bulk up too. I see him following a similar trajectory to Rance, except without the years of rubbish and turnovers. 

Completely agree with this post and Lever's composure with ball in hand adds to the stabilisation of our defensive line too.

Agree, although I'm not sure i would want him to bulk up certainly not at the expense of his mobility and flexibility. 

He has Rance like qualities. 

A huge asset with quality defenders around him. 

We have the makings of an exciting defence that on paper could be the best going around.

I know Viney is our captain and that he sets the benchmark for intensity (especially early in games), but I would have trouble leaving out someone like Harmes, Vince, Tyson, Hannan or Fritsch for him in round 1 given his lack of preseason. It is a long year and he needs to be at his peak in September. I doubt Goodwin will take the risk unless he plays a full game in the VFL next week.

Having a change of thought.  Dees play a 7 man defence, so I think Vince will get a gig, which may be handy if Dangerfield spends a bit of time forward.

Had a chat to my Brother today and he'd leave Harmes out.  As much as I like Harmes I tend to agree.  He might be the unlucky one.

I think the combo of Petracca, Garlett, Hannan, Fritsch is too many forward line specialists, with only Petracca likely to spend good amounts of time in the middle. So one of Garlett, Hannan and Fritsch should make way for Harmes (who can also play forward), as Harmes can roll through the middle as well...

Garlett can rotate through the midfield in bursts.

True, I feel Garlett, Hannan or Fritsch and Harmes is better balanced, as I see the three former as more specialist forwards, I like Harmes and Hannan's grunt and physicality.

It's a tricky one.

I was about to write the same thing. We don't to limit our run.  Melksham will also be playing predominantly fwd.

For me, one of Hannan or Fritsch should miss.  Hannan is fitter, better defensively so I would not play Fritsch even tough he has shown some nice glimses

Peedo is going to be STIFF if he misses but I can't see a spot for him with T Mac and Hoges playing.  maybe with only lever and O Mac down back he could be a bench/utility?   def/fwd/ruck??

I have a feeling Viney's gonna get up for round one...

 

FB:     JETTA               O.MCDONALD .      HIBBERD.

HB:     LEWIS .              LEVER .                   HUNT .  

C:        SALEM .             JONES .                  HARMES .  

HF:      PETRACCA .     T.MCDONALD .       MELKSHAM. 

FF:      GARTLETT .       HOGAN .                 HANNAN .

Foll:    GAWN .               VINEY .                    OLIVER .  

Int:      BRAYSHAW .       VINCE .        NEAL-BULLEN.     TYSON. 

 

There's obviously a question mark over Viney and possibly one over Lewis.  

I've left out Fritsch, but he's breathing down the neck of Hannan, ANB and Harmes.

Geelong is one of the few teams with a genuine gorilla power forward in Hawkins.  In know we have a zone defence, but I'm concerned there isn't a big bodied defender to anchor that zone.  Wouldn't be shocked to see Frost line-up for round one.

Emergency/unlucky: FRITSCH, FROST, PEDERSEN, MAYNARD, BUGG, STRETCH

Vince very close to losing his spot to Harmes in my team if they continue playing him out of position in the back line.

Harmes > Tyson. 

Harmes offers our side so much more. Quicker, better skills, more dangerous around goal, a threat in the air. 

The love for Tyson is over the top.

You're comparing apples and oranges.  Harmes provides outside run, while also being hard at it, which is why I like him, and Tyson is a clever inside mid.

With Petracca and even Oliver spending time forward it makes Tyson more valuable due to his ability to win clearances.

They're not competing for a spot in the 22.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
