next 22?

23rd man: Bradtke

 

Optimistic outlook for us to get Kolodjashnij, Vandenburg, Jsmith and then also Bennell all injury free and fit.  
If we can , the best 22 looks impressive. 

It wouldn't be a best 22 without my contribution.

No to Weid.   I have Joel Smith in the team taking over the 'Frost' role.  Petty is a forward.  Bennell is a pipe dream at this point.

It’s still not a team that would scare the top tier, but it looks infinitely better than last year.

Jackson is going to be interesting, it’s going to be very hard to not play a 199cm bloke that puts in

For me Lever needs to be the intercept third tall.  He's much better when he's freed up to use his judgment and athleticism. 

May and one of Oscar McDonald or Petty need to hold down FB with May at CHB. As Petty is training with the forwards Oscar will be given first crack in the main defensive role.  Duel hip surgery ruined his 2019, but he has a chance to make amends.  If he's not competitive enough then Petty should move back.  Petty's going to be a very good player, whether it's in defence or attack. 

I suspect Jackson and Pickett will be staples in the side sooner rather than later.

I'm not a Frost fan, so don't share your view. 

We all know his strengths, but he wasn't predictable to his teammates and I've heard he wasn't the most coachable player, which didn't help his efforts to be retained.

Does anyone know if Petty has been training with the backs or the forwards? Or maybe they are not split into groups yet?

petty with forwards, joel smith with the backs from all reports i believe

remember, the notion of best 22 / next 22 is all pipe dream stuff - you never have players not carrying injuries

I was on the fence a bit with petty but he convinced me once he moved forward.

Not because he was a natural forward or anything (though he is certainly did not look out of place), but because his competiveness and great hands really became apparent. Agree that he is going to become a very good player

Goody is talking about using petty up forward but obviously he can play back if and when required. Which is a really useful attribute in terms of flexibility and options for goody, particularly as tmac can also be be a swing man (and perhaps Smith as well).

Thanks what

This is really difficult. A lot of our injury management, trading and drafting means we have almost an entire list to choose from, and it even looks like a lot of the young kids could play if required.

So maybe not best 22, but what I would like to see:

B:          Jetta               OMac          Hibberd
HB:       Salem             May             Lever
?         Langdon         Oliver          Tomlinson
HF:       Petracca         Weideman Melksham
F:          Fritsch            TMac          Jones
R:          Gawn             Viney           Brayshaw
Int:        Preuss           Harmes      Petty      Hunt

Emerg: Hannan   vandenBerg    KK    Hore

Notes:
Back 6 might need an injection of pace so definite opportunity  for another player to break into the backline
We have a lot of forward options. Very hard for Hannan to miss out. 
Jones as a small-ish forward works for me, but if not then he might miss out on best 22. Bedford or Pickett most likely to replace him
I reckon the Gawn/Preuss rotation through the forward line and bench could become a weapon if Preuss can run out 4 full quarters

Interesting you have Chandler on the bench in the seconds. Apparently he has been told if he has a good pre-season he is in the mix to play for the dees round 1. I haven't seen enough of him to have an opinion just what I have been told.

There is only one person that should ever post a 'best 22' on D'land ever.  Whatwhat you are clearly in breach of D'land code, Section 5, sub section 3.1

I expect your apology letter to be on my desk in the morning, which i will duly CC to Werridee pronto!

You'd benefit from reading the training reports and the groups players are training with.

Petty with the forwards, Harmes with the backs, Petracca with the mids.

Easily in our most talent 25 or so players. If Pickett is as raw as he's likely to be then Chandler will be ahead of him as the most suited to a pressure forward role. His tackling was very good on debut, in many ways he's the incumbent in the role.

  • 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.

    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.
