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.

Good to see something speculative with some emerging talent.

So you clearly don't rate Weid, Smith, OMac, ANB, the Wagners or Hore. 

Or the chances of Baker, Chandler, Lockhart and Dunkley?

I guess KK and Bennell stay njured?

The best thing is I do rate them. Chandler and O Mac the next most likely.

Any of them could play.

For the first time since we have had an affiliation with a VFL team every single player on the list is a chance except for Bradtke who is a category B rookie anyway.

Due to injuries I have Oscar in the team not a fan but not convinced with Smith's and Petty's pre season's.

Brown gets a go due to Petty's pre season.

Pickett comes in as the small forward.

Jackson comes in as the second ruck. Most teams are using second rucks so I think we should too.

Vandenberg and Hannan need time in the VFL to show that they can cope with the rigors of the AFL.

I fear Kolodjashnij won't play a game again, Bennell will always be a question mark and Preuss will miss the start of the season.

I find myself in the difficult position of being in agreement with Wdee. The exposed form as the season progresses will be fascinating.

I could see Jones replaced by Hannan, Brown by Petty or LJ and Hibberd by Lockhart. If the incumbents keep contributing to wins then they will be hard to remove.

Now to go touch a piece of wood.

I think LJ will miss out develop him in the seconds.

Yeah I’d have to agree, LJ looks the goods but we are not in a position of needing to blood him so I reckon Casey will be where he finds himself early days. Interesting to think about Casey if him, Bradtke and Preuss are fit, that’s quite a bit of tall timbre. Throw in one of Weids or Brown as well as I can’t see a combo of Weids/Brown/TMac being used too often.

The second poster in the off season to suggest Melksham isn't good enough to make the best 22.

Unless you guys are predicting a sudden downturn in form next year, Melksham would be one of the first picked. Infact, I'd go as far to say Melksham is the best kick at the club. Seen those inside 50 bullets he's capable of and the classy goals he kicks.

We sorely missed him last year as we slumped to a 2-8 record without him.

 

 

However he’s one of our worst set shots.

See his first miss on the weekend.

How good is the centre line of Langdon - Petracca/Oliver - Tomlinson?  This could be the fulcrum of the rise up the ladder.  Certainly as good as any centreline in the league.

Add Clarry or Angus or Harmesy even Jack or Jonesy I'm lieu of Trac and still a huge upside.

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
