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

If AVB is fit he’ll be one of the first selected. You can take that to the bank.

I like to think of myself as having a reasonable insight into footy with a pretty good understanding of pros and cons of players on the MFC list. I can't recall a time when it was harder to pick

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.

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
