I love Jones and he is a warrior for this club but it’s refreshishing to see not a single player in our best 22 on that list.

Having said that Petty will be come finals.

    We aren't the club doctors and unless we've heard something from the club all we can do is speculate, it might be nice to look at some people guessing but that's pretty much all it can be at this stage.

    Some of the things we know, based on the club telling us, are Tomlinson's calf strain is minor and Bennell is aiming for training in February. Sorry to be a bit of a downer but without actual word from the inside there's just no way to really tell.

    That felt to me like a bit of an upper ?

    Thanks for that imElated. While this whole site is basically based on opinion and speculation, I'm not sure that's too much of an issue. However, I'm pretty sure there are at least some known facts about when an injury occurred, what it was, whether surgery was required, and when. This would at least be a start.

    I reckon Tomlinson is a lock best 22 if fit. He missed one game in 4 years for a  more advanced team than us and it sounded like he only missed that game when they found out he was leaving them.

    What about Vanders?

    should be according to most Dees fans 

    Tommo might be a certain starter in Round 1 but training  over the period, team balance and injuries and form will also be crucial.

    The more fit the more available I reckon and plenty of competition is great for depth and future of Club and 2020.

    Tomlinson will be one of the first picked every week. 

    AVB if fit is easily best 22.

    Weid if fit is almost a lock to get a game. 

     

    Strange comment.

    Yes agree a rash generalisation !!

    I wonder it the term 'rehab group' is a bit misleading inasmuch as players can sometimes be there simply managing loads.

    Or is that too logical???

    I think Wrecker is saying that Jones isn't in our best 22.....which is obvious if everyone is fit.

    Also indicated Weid and AVB ain't...and that ain't so. They are best 22 if everyone is fit.

    Not sure I agree on one of those pitmaster but like all these discussions beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

    Less than "obvious" to me.

    Unless you're at a night club or pub, in which case beauty is in the eye of the beerholder.

    Do you realise that many of my posts in the off season are satire. I'm feeling rather bullish about where our club is, including during the season last year. 

    God, i miss that satire......

    So let me guess, you think the Weed needs to do more to justify his place? I could buy that argument but I think he needs persistence.

    That prompts an interesting thought: must a Best 22 be the best side you can field on any given day, or could it be the Best 22 you can field today while developing for the long term. If it's the latter, then Weid is, in my humble op, in that team.

    I heard that today. He is a peanut. I get his role is to have an opinion and stir the pot. But he doesn't back his palaver up.

    Cornes suggested (or at least questioned if) the bombers had mismanaged their players. But provided zero evidence for this.

    I have no idea of course about the situation at the ess with injury, but the most likely scenario is just bad luck. It happens. And happens to all clubs as some point.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
