2030, at the latest.  Love to know our future side in 12 years time.  I wonder if Nathan Jones will go around again?

I'm looking not right now but probably the half way point when we get Lever. If we want to be a premiership team we have to make changes our team is still too slow and not enough good ball users.

I've made the tough decision in retiring Jones and Lewis and we have the worst key position player in the comp in O.Mac and we have no small forwards..

 

B: JETTA, MAY, LEVER

HB: HIBBERD, PETTY, KOLODJASHNIJ

C : HUNT, SALEM, BAKER

HF: MELKSHAM, WEIDEMAN, HANNAN

F: J.SMITH, T.MCDONALD, CHANDLER

FOLL: GAWN, OLIVER, BRAYSHAW

IC: VINEY, JORDON, HARMES, FRITSCH

 

Kolodjashnij to take Salem's role, Salem into the midfield to add some much needed class.

Hunt and Baker to give us speed on the wings.

Chandler seems like our most gifted small forward unfortunately.

Jordon and Fritsch as our good ball users off the bench.

Thoughts?

Like it. Hope it materialises this season. Just need to blood replacements for Hibberd & Jetta down the track.

 

Why no Petracca ? Is one of our better ball users ! Just misses set shots fir goal.

How good  do you know that Chandler will become He definitely seems more skilled than other smaller forwards I agree but not unfortunately.

Looks good and  obviously some players need building up and devrloping size and strength. 

Also need turnover of coaches under Goody st end of 2019.

Simply he is not a hard enough worker... and so misses 2/3rds of most games.

Chandler brings nippy play and evasiveness, plus his speed and run with the ball.  He stops us being as Vanilla, when with the ball.

 

I think our coaches are some of the best in League.  We don't need to knee jerk, because we are struggling so far in 2019.

Updated. Stretch definitely in the Dunn, Martin,  Trengove,Watts status. Outside the coach’s plans so will probably ask to be traded. 

Honestly, does this thread need to be updated every second week?

sure, i mean...why not? it's all a bit of fun on a messageboard....

i prefer to think of it in terms of list - who'll still be on it in 2023, at the start of the next tv rights deal?

likely still on the list:

  1. may (turns 31 in 2023)
  2. salem (28)
  3. harmes (28)
  4. petracca (27)
  5. viney (29)
  6. lever (27)
  7. spargo (24)
  8. brayshaw (27)
  9. gawn (31 on dec 31, 2022)
  10. oliver (26)
  11. hannan (29)
  12. preuss (28)
  13. hunt (27)
  14. fritsch (27)

uncertain (let's say half of them are still on the list at the start of 2023; i've highlighted a guess of a dozen still with us):

  1. bedford (23)
  2. hibberd (33)
  3. stretch (27)
  4. kolodjashnij (28)
  5. frost (30)
  6. melksham (32)
  7. vandenberg (31)
  8. jordon (23)
  9. kennedy harris (28)
  10. nietschke (23)
  11. o mac (27)
  12. neal-bullen (27)
  13. sparrow (23)
  14. baker (25)
  15. hore (27)
  16. petty (24)
  17. jetta (33)
  18. j wagner (29)
  19. j smith (27)
  20. chandler (23)
  21. c wagner (26)
  22. lockhart (23)
  23. walker (28)
  24. keilty (28)
  25. bradtke (23)

unlikely:

  1. jones (35)
  2. lewis (37)
  3. maynard (32)
  4. garlett (34)
  5. t smith (32)

so, here's round 1, 2023 (give or take end of trade / draft period of the next four years, natch, player fitness, etc., etc.)...

B: Jetta - May - Lever
HB: Salem - Petty - Fritsch
? Harmes - Brayshaw - Hannan
HF: Petracca - T Mac - Hunt
F: Preuss - Weideman - Melksham
Foll: Gawn - Oliver - Viney
I/c: Spargo - Sparrow - Lockhart - J Smith
Emerg: Frost - Hore - C Wagner - Bradtke

tbh, it's not wildly different from now - the 14 or so who should, hopefully, still be with us are core players of our team now, with virtually four full seasons ahead of them

of course, some of them may choose to retire after winning four premierships in a row from 2019-2022 inclusive.........

 

Don’t think Sparrow is uncertain. He will almost certainly be a gun in a couple of years time.


But who will be the coach in 2023??

  • 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

    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.
