I am always interested in those that want Salem on a wing. What makes people think he is suited to a wing? Don’t we think that 2 years ago when we tried 10+ players there and no on suited there is a reason he was not one of them. 

That is probably the missing link Red how do you know for sure Salo can't play wing. 
I wouldn't mind him on HFF with cameos on the ball.

I dont. Though  I will back that being we have never put him there the club either feel the same or rate more highly his value out of the back half. My personal view is he does not have the tank or natural want to push up and back to meet the requirements of the role. I also think he is one that reads the ball better with the ball coming at him. I understand that some would love him kicking the ball inside 50 which he could do more as a high half forward. However I do think his best value continues to be off half back.

Could be but surely you saw his last 3/4 games in 2020 he was pushing up from HB to HF and running his hardest ever. He actually impacted games esp the GWS one and even kicked a goal, 

I believe he can become an A grader if he uses his skills and gets a tank and impacts the team performance and would like him up the ground as I believe He also bought Much more urgency to his game .
Worth a try in my opinion.

You expecting us to lose that's a lot of outs for round 2. You don't even have Baker in your round 1 team how can he be dropped when he isn't in the team in the first place.

just a bit of humour...

Defensive wingman; he’s named there but plays role of the 7th defender 

i also had him on a wing but i didn't have a defender on the bench 

INT: Sparrow Brayshaw Jordon Jones

these players will rotate through there/hunt or riv might spend time there too. ik we want to settle the position but no ones claimed it yet

Tommo or Petty needed at CHB so Lever can intercept Mark.

Its no good naming a team now that cannot play Due to injury. With respect.

Most of you have Jones in your 22, we have youth with more skill that need game time 

Sparrow Chandler Jordan, give them a go

Not necessarily what I believe is the best 22, but this is the team I believe will play Round 1 based on injuries, form and coach's preferences:

JETTA.               MAY.                   LEVER.     
SALEM.       TOMLINSON.             HUNT. 
BAKER.            OLIVER.          LANGDON.  
SPARGO.     MCDONALD.   MELKSHAM.  
JACKSON.      FRITSCH.       CHANDLER. 

GAWN.         PETRACCA.      BRAYSHAW. 

HARMES.  RIVERS.  SPARROW.  JONES. 


Emergency: Petty, Jordon, Neal Bullen, Bowey.


Injured / building fitness in the VFL:
Pickett, Viney, VandenBerg, Hibberd, Brown, Weideman.

How does Melkshem make it into team No training  other  than rehab TMKnowledge  And Hibberd further advanced and not in !

Jordan deserves a spot I believe also.

Seriously Roost it far and Werribee have you watched the 2 games vs Tigers snd Dogs ???
RIF What  point  Were you trying to get across by posting a 7/1/21 team fir all Jacks? Do you agree or not ?? Or by no comment you are highlighting how far it is off a real collection both any balance and pace.
the FB line with Jets  and Tommo any pace there ?? Riv at CHB yes Change for Tommo maybe BUT if Petty doesn't replace Tommo and/ or Locky ( now injured) with Bowey the next in line.Replace Jetta We may as well not have practice games.

And Werridee why is Hunt at BP?  At least If he plays HB is his possie! Rivers on the bench at least he Has completed the training and is match fit ahead of Hibbo. Petty not better than Tommo? 
 

And Baker yes someone has to play wing  but his form  in both games suggests he is still off the mark fir possessions and skill Salem RIF yes don't mind that. 
Werribee Bakes  has appeared  on the winG in EVERY team since last year You have put up! No other solution to our "other wing" problem despite underwhelming stats in both practice games. 
 

And both have Melksham   on the  HFF on no match practice This year and No form for 2 years!! Chandler or ANB deserve to start at least.

Yes it's only opinion but Pruess in the wet Was head in sand stuff  snd Jets Baker snd Tommo haven't worked  in the 2021 practices so similarly we need a different mix!!

That majestic it even worse !!!! 
Jetta Baker and Tomlinson and Melksham

its not 2018 for Jetta and Melksham form!

And practice matches for Tommo  and Baker do not Come up with BEST anything!

Hunt lucky probably as his best form is 2017!!!!

And really if one of our Key position players goes down where is any backup ie Petty or Tmac or M.Brown I suppose we can swing Weid around  a bit. 
 

In reality Werridee Your selections are  like Goody's very  conservative and no dare or flare! 
And very 2018 ish!  
Ang you have had about  20 goes at it this season so far.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
