*Facepalm

You lost me as soon as you said it was on preseason form then included Hore for round 1 who is a recruit who has not even trained with the main group. How does this logic stand up?

 

Surely Natalie Portman is in the conversation if we’re talking about pre season form

You wouldn't have a team based on pre season form. I said I considered pre season form. That's why Frost, Spargo and Fritsch are in and O.Mac, Hannan and Vanders are out.

Yet you have included someone with no exposed AFL form nor even any pre-season guides to allude to... Sorry still a bit lost. 


Er apart from Hore, I have watched Viney, Brayshaw, Jetta, Harmes, Oliver, Petracca and Melksham in rehab so their pre season form has been hard to judge, although they have trained well

I think we should wait until at least the JLT games til we start to put new recruits in the best 22. I think the only exception at the moment is May. KK and Pruess probably get a look in too but the 18 years olds and ex-VFL will have to earn that spot and it's way too early to make those calls.

What about VFL form. He back to full training now anyway. I think he's the perfect replacement for Lever.

...only weakness is OMac at CHB instead of Frosty. Shame that Hannan fits as an emergency but this is the state of the list, I guess. OMac should be an emergency in our opinions, with some serious running time and practice in the Casey team for some time. 

Barring any injuries VandenBerg is a shoein and is in our best 22 IMO. The kind of player with the big body  aggressive and hits hard.

Yeah I agree with that. Even though his disposal is sometimes deplorable the rest of him makes him an important member of the team

I'm with you Werridee. Love a pre-emptive 22. My mates do them all off-season. After draft day. After trade week. They're fun.

Hore is a break in case of emergency guy. He'll come in for maybe 6 games as our KP defenders struggle or get hurt. OMac as usual is the whipping boy, but people do seem to forget the match committee absolutely love him. He played every game last year for some reason. Demonlanders should probably get on board, or at least understand he will get picked despite what they think.

I reckon you always have to earmark one, maybe two surprises in there as well. Goody loves to play a debutant round 1. Fritsch last year. Smith the year before that. I feel like with Oliver rehabbing they might get Sparrow a game, as he's physically ready.

Vandenberg's ending to the 2018 season was astonishing to me.  I didn't think he had it in him, to that level.  His impact was fantastic. And his speed, I hadn't realised.

We were finally playing like men.... and opposition did not know what to make of us.  Some sure  got out of our way in a hurry.

 

Watch out for the Cat-attack re-Match...   Selwood and coach Johnson have a plan for us... pencil it in.

Yeah I was thinking that, but he’s been double teamed by 2 rucks a fair few times and been alright

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
