Jake Melksham is in our top 5 most important players.

Change my mind.

Wouldn't dare change your mind - you're correct. The only forward who knows how to play as a forward, find space, beat an opponent to the ball with a variety of delivery/set shot/snap shot options. Runs well, too. Can take a mark rather than a 'specky' by finding the space to make it simpler and easier, and consistent. I'd rank 'em: 1. Gawn 2. Clarrie 3. Brayshaw 4. Melksham 5. Viney when fit.

TMac would have to be close to the top 5 - just ahead of Melk IMO

Any calls on value added(ness) amongst players is going to be arbitrary, controversial and perhaps inaccurate so I take your point. I also value TMac highly and for me, he's Number 6. Thank heavens these guys play as a team, heh? 

 

From JLT2 side:

IN            OUT

                Keilty (23rd player)

Frost -> May (susp)

Jones -> JKH (inj)

Viney -> Stretch (omit)

Melk  -> Hunt (omit)

I was not all that impressed with Hunt forward. Idk where he fits right now. I have a feeling they intend to play Lever, Omac and May in the same side. So to have that structure I think Hore plays in the Lever role as 3rd defender. Until someone bangs the door down I think Lewis holds his spot. Misso seemed to indicate there was some doubt on Smith getting up for round one so either hunt gets a chance or maybe stretch gets a gig on the wing and fritch goes forward. I share the ANB/Spargo conserns but I doubt they will break the status quo without an obvious replacement. So this is where my side sits now but it changes every day, infact it changed 3 times while I was writing this:

Nev   OMac  Hibb

Hore  Frost  Lewis

Salem Oliver Fritch

Trac  TMac   Melk

ANB   Weid   Spargo

Gawn  Viney Brayshaw

Jones Harmes AVB Smith (Stretch/Hunt on standby for Smith)

KK*, May(Frost), Hannan(Smith) and Lever(Hore) missing from first picked side.

*I'm not 100% sure on KK being a walk up start, but without injury i think they'd play him, idk who would go out though

Agree can't see them wavering much from what you've got there.

Apart from no Hannan or Tyson this is pretty much the team we won two finals with last season. It may not be the fittest but its a proven side.

I look forward to seeing KK, Hunt, Garlett, Stretch and the new young kids battle down at Casey for a spot

In Dave Misson's report it sounds like Joel Smith is in serious doubt.

Someone should be held account for this. I understand the desire to play with 22 but the fact that both Smith and Fritsch had to play on while injured in a JLT match, which could jeopardize their start to the season is a huge stuff up IMO.

Mate, I’m in my 60’s and could burn Oscar off.

Further, if it was only a practice match, why was it so necessary to keep them onfield? There is a duality of purpose inherent in all of this - team availability, team selection, team coverage, team due diligence.

1. Gawn

2. McDonald (otherwise it's only weideman)

3. May (otherwise its oscar McDonald. God help us)

4. Oliver

5. Brayshaw

It's just our luck to spend a fortune on Lever and May to strengthen our shaky defence over the last 2 years and to have to go into round 1 of 2019 without either of them!

I didn't think he got him in the head.  I'm obviously wrong.

But gee, the game has been sanitised to within an inch of its life.

Yeah yeah, I know it's still tough and they hit hard, etc.

I just wish it wasn't based on the whims of one man called Christian. Then there's the decision to ok Mumford's punch to the head. It's not that it's sanitised - let's face it, it needed to be - it's just the glaring inconsistencies which really make me feel inclined to walk away and just stop following it. The rules are called Rafferty's. They make them up as they go along.

Westhoff is the matchup that worries me. He is a gun - highly mobile, good in the air and dangerous around the goals. If we can neutralise him it will go a long way towards winning the game.

Some very big holes in the team for the opening round, and some of these holes represent players who will be selected and will play but are carrying something other than a headcold. Another injury or two and the Dees are in big trouble for some weeks, I'd say.

I agree, our limited depth will be stretched.

Agree about that summation of Westhoff - he has been a bogey-man for us for some years ... so I'd ask Vanders to have a rest on him across the game with some close pats on the back (of the head) and a few little run-throughs that will slow him down.

Cringe-worthy, just like sucking a lemon.

Agree, we’re going to need to thrash them in midfield to limit the supply to their forward line as we have the B team key defenders in, could possibly leak goals as we have in the first two JLTs. Shootout anyone?

We'll be fine.

Oh I dunno, when I spoke to Bayley at the sponsors function, he was cool and had no worries abiut being available fir Rd 1, just got a knock on the hip, was going home to ice it up

Fritsch will be fine for round 1. He will have a light week due to a cork right on the hip point. A lot of icing up and rehabbing.

My round 1:

FB: Hibberd - Oscar - Jetta

HB: Lewis - Frost - Salem

C. Jones - Oliver - Fritsch

HF: Melksham - Weid - Trac

FF: Spargo - TMac - Vanders

R: Gawn - Viney - Brayshaw

I: Harmes - ANB - Smith - Hunt

E: Hore - Stretch - Keilty

It would be an interesting discussion 56, where would you rank Jetta?

He’d be in my top 5, irreplaceable imo.

I just noticed he bumps Frawley after he kicks it. I didn’t think that goal could get any better.

  • 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.

    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

    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.

    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.
