A very large part of why we didn't was the interrupted pre seasons of key players in tmac and viney.  

It was more the interrupted seasons rather than pre seasons that cost us with these 2 'binman'...

Both were pretty good when they got on the ground.

Viney only played 7 home & away games.

So long as we don't miss key players again this year I'm not as fussed as some with preseason.

Apart from Hannan it doesn't seem like anyone else has been off legs...

    It's one thing to note that some players have had interrupted preseasons and another to be overly concerned by it.

    Firstly, best 22 is a fluid concept that changes due to matchups, form, injuries, etc.

    Players (not a complete list) who may not (or won't) make it to round one:

    Lever - Hore or Frost the replacements

    As much as I want Lever back we can cover him early on.

    Jones - Stretch, Sparrow or others

    I squeeze Jones onto my bench, but he's no longer a pivotal player.

    Hannan 

    He's around my 22-24 ranked player.  Handy player, but well covered and is touch and go for the best 22 anyway.

    Kolodjashnij

    I'm really looking forward to him playing and think he'll add to the team, but if he's missing the first few weeks I doubt we'll notice.

    Melksham

    He's the only player that I expect to miss (other than Lever) that weakens the side.  Joel Smith, who's a different type, may play instead of him.  Or they'll rejig in some other fashion.

    I expect Viney, May, vandenBerg, Petracca, Oliver, and others to be right to go.

    So while it's not ideal, as you say, most have got miles into their legs and players who may miss are relatively easily replaced.

    Round 1 last year we played Pedersen, Wagner, Garlett, Maynard, Hunt, Vince, Hannan. 

    Im confident we’ll name a much stronger side with May, Tmac, Viney, Brayshaw, Weids and Vanders all currently fit.

    I'm not convinced May will be available for Round 1.

    Otherwise this is on the money. From all reports the players that we in Rehab were all running their guts out so the fitness base will be there.

    Goodwin said to Mark Robinson that May could probably play JLT1, but will be ready for JLT2, which is two weeks before round one.

    Unless he has a setback I don't see why he won't play.

    When one looks at who could potentially miss only Lever and Melksham would be in our best 18 players.

    May looked good jumping and dunking basketballs from some of the video clips taken at Family Fun Night on Wednesday.

    Hannan isn't getting much love. He is our best small forward in my opinion. I rate him ahead of spargo and garlett. his goal he kicked against Geelong was clutch on the big stage!

    Slightly different role to Spargo, and differing strengths. Spargo is a key 'point guard' type.

    Hannan is a bot like a winger, forward...  skilled, tenacious.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
