Very subjective isn’t it.. for me ..

first three .. Lewis Vince and Jones and then it gets a little harder.. say five..

Gawn, Hogan, Oliver, Viney TMac

then you start to Stretch...

Salem, Tyson, Lever, Jetta, Hibberd, Melksham, Garlett..

then it’s potential 

Trac and Gus and Weed and Spargo and Petty and Keilty

then its foot soldiers..

uuhm.. sorry cant think of any.. 

 

 

Maybe it's because I'm in the latter stages of my film's edit at the moment and therefore very analytical, but the message of this thread isn't clear to me. What's your point?

If we're discussing what the nucleus of our team is, it's the best 22 at the moment...

If we're discussing what the nucleus of a potential premiership team is, well, that's very different, because I wouldn't have Lewis, Vince or probably Jones in there.

Since the thesis isn't clear, I'm going to run with the nucleus of the next premiership team.

I'd have: Hogan, Salem, Petracca, Viney, Lever, Brayshaw, Gawn, Oliver, Hibberd, Tom McDonald / Weideman, Oscar McDonald, Jetta and hopefully Hunt.

I, like a few others on here, have high hopes for Petty too. I haven't included Tyson as I think his lack of speed is a severe impediment to Goodwin's game style and will see him on the outer long term.

Jones will play long enough to just make that potential premiership team.

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

    The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

  • PODCAST: Gold Coast

    I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
