Omac stiff too, ANB worth a shout. Maybe im just a bit biased :D

 

Does Bontempelli not age?   He has been 22 for 5 years.

So it is age 'under 22' from the start of the season/year I gather?

Obviously Lever would be in if not injured for mroe than half the season.

It is nice to think that from two very strong drafts (2014 and first round of 2015) we've managed to gather perhaps 4 of the top 5 players.

Also, that age category method means Fritsch still has next year, and you'd have to be pretty confident he'll get there.

Its just nice, y'know, just nice.

 

 

Clarry, He is a Gun footballer, Angus  and Petrac  they are not far behind. Congrats on making the under 22 side. The 3 Amigo's will be on display against the Cats next Friday and beyond.  Beware of the 3 Amigo's for the next  decade. They're out to get ya!

Scene: it's September (or near as dammit).

Instead of studying the likely early draft picks, you are getting fired up about finals tickets.

You are studying the AA team, alternately gloating, and groaning that MORE Demons were not recognized.

You are studying the 22under22, gloating/groaning.

You are wondering if Max will finish 1st or 2nd in the Brownlow.

You are feeling remarkably at peace with the world.

Now the question, true or false: ARE YOU DREAMING?

Anyone know the list of players that have made both All Australian and the under 22 team?

It must be a special achievement by our Clarry.

Botempelli, Josh Kelly and Zac Merrett would be my first guesses.

What's obvious from this year's team is how long it takes to develop as a ruckman.  Most of those picked are comfortably in their sides best 22.  Not to be disrespectful to Darcy, but he'd struggle to get a regular game at most teams.  Looks like Trac has to come off the bench to relieve in the ruck as well.

The only AA in the side and not captain? But I am biassed.

Presumably from the start of the AFL season. Patrick Cripps turned 23 on 18 March. I can only assume he missed out on age rather than for any other reason.

And what a world of pain St Kilda is in. At least Carlton, Brisbane and Freo have some young stars.

Gresham and Ronke on the ground before Trac. 

Please! 

I agree with you regarding Ronke, however Gresham has had a much better season the Trac,

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
