Hope Maxxy reads it, accepts the challenge ( as he has done all year) and puts it beyond doubt. Max is no fool and I think last year doesn’t sit well with him.

    The bloke has no idea. 

    Tom Phillips is in his team. 

     

    To be fair, he is getting 27.2 possies rotating through the midfield.

    I'm more surprised that he didn't choose his team like the Essendon fanboy that he is (complete with Hirdy as 'honorary coach').

    I don't care how many possessions he's getting. 

    It's Tom Phillips. 

    I'm disgusted.

    Name a bit too generic for you?

    What if he were called Smedley Cornelius Cruddington the Third?

    I could see Bruce and BT loving the hell out of that name on a Friday night.

    10 points for creativity. 

    If that were his name, it'd be the opposite. He'd be in the AA team every year regardless of whether he were playing or not.

    Not sure why everyone is getting so worked up, it's a mid-year AA team picked by a hack journalist. Has no meaning whatsoever.

    Grundy's having an AA-level year. So is Gawn of course, and IMO Gawn is better, but the idea that someone might pick Grundy over Gawn if they're going with one ruckman isn't ridiculous.

    Martin and Rance shouldn't be in anyone's AA side right now, though.

    Correct. Close this thread for irrelevancy.

    It about New Ltd. causing outrage so we all talk about them. Lets deny our oxygen.

    And of course Grundy is in - he's Collingwood, the papers main reading audience to whom this team is targeted .

    Clearly you should be on Robbo's pay and the journo

    A much more balanced view

    Gawn missing out isn't an outrage. Grundy has been a gun and whilst he isn't as good in the tap outs he is superior around the ground and his foot skills are far superior. Gawns shots at goal have cost us dearly this season so I think that puts him down a few pegs.

    Grundy gets the nod, because Eddie thinks he'll win the Brownlow... and 9-10 Herald Sun readers are Collingwood supporters - the ones that actually still bother to go to a newsagent to buy a paper anymore.

    No Neville Jetta either.  A complete outrage. 

    Poor old Filth supporters, they are misunderstood. They buy a newspaper because it is a 'news pictorial', not for the words, the journalism, the current affairs and news items at the broader spectrum of national communications. Slobbo's team selection is an example of what Eddie needs to support his fellatious Brownlow dogma and therein lies a message itself; the 'Herald-Sun' is the most likely source of pictures that might communicate in a limited way for Eddie to get his otherwise meaningless message through and for the Filth followers, any message that Saint Eddie espouses repesents their daily dose of vomitus they so needfully crave.

    Can't put my finger on it, but there are many things that I really like about this team proposal. It does look awesome; a prodigal effort in selection with the balance of sheer talent on show. Well done.

    Oliver and Hogan named on the bench.

    Oh this is hilarious! The clear absence of Melbourne players on the park (only on the pine) tells me that 1. Slobbo might actually read this forum, and 2. He’s taken offence to his acquired namesake! 

    ???

    Actually a pretty good team. Hard to argue about too much. Lot of negativity on here where Robbo has put together a reasonable side showing decent judgement.

    Those knocking Grundy and Phillips might want to wait until we've played them. Both very good players.

    Nev had a slow first month. Doesn't excuse him missing last year but he's not AA right now. Backline is spot on.

    Can't argue with the midfield. Forward line - might move Hogan to CHF, let Buddy roam a flank and have Dusty on the bench.

    Gawn is very unlucky. Robbo admits he's the most stiff. He'll get his chance v Grundy, and if they both play well then maybe a midfield misses out.

    ...but I will.

    I would have Oliver in the guts, McCrae to a wing and Phillips on the bench.

    Not that it's a big deal, just bragging rights.

    Fair point. I don't care much about the positions because at the end of the career they say a player is an AA or dual AA or 7 time AA or whatever, especially for midfielders making it matters more than the spot. Macrae hasn't played much wing this year so I'd leave Phillips in his proper position and put Clarry in the guts!

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
