Four Demons.....   maybe if we win finish higher up the ladder.  Close to the top 4.

May never gets mentioned in AA team discussions but he has to  be in contention surely.

Make that five Demons, not 4.

Werridee youre a classic.  Zero chance we get 5 All Australians.

Am I missing something or have you got the numbers wrong for your Melbourne assessment?

Sam Collins   Harris Andrews   Nick haynes 

Sam Docherty   Darcy Moore   Adam Saad 

Mitch Duncan   Travis Boak   Jackson McRae 

Dan Butler   Josh Kennedy  Tom Papley 

Charlie Dixon   Tom Hawkins   Charlie Cameron 

Todd Goldstein    Lachie Neale   Christian Petracca 

Jack Steele, Patrick Cripps, Dustin Martin, Nic Nat

i really don't rate Goldstein. And also, it's incredibly media driven the hype around him. If anyone actually tracked him, he's been very down on form 5 of the last 6 weeks where it looked like Daw had won starting ruck off him. 

Also, a hell no to Cripps. One of the most overhyped players because he is the prototype 195 midfielder but he was had a down season and gone missing in games for hours at as time.  

Swap him with Menegola.

Yes Cripps has not been great. Media hype. Oliver beat him and yet because Cripps kicked a goal late in the game, they thought he played well. 
Oliver is the equal or better than Boak, Cripps, Steele, etc. 

It depends on where we finish. Finish in the top 5-6 and we’d get Trac,Oliver and Gawn in.

Petracca our only lock.

Gawn has bee great, but missing games through injury may harm his cause. There have been other good ruckman this year too, moreso than previous years. Goldstein, Naitanui, Grundy could all stake claims if Gawn misses more matches.

Oliver is building and will make the team if he continues his great form of the past month. A few average games where he got negative media attention will harm his cause.

May has been good and could make the squad but not team.

Other good players for us this season are Viney, Langdon and Weideman. None of them good enough to make the cut though.

Grundy has been average this year.  Currently rated the 9th best ruck in the league.  Nic Nat and Gawn (presuming he returns this week) would be the two front runners.  Keen to see how Naitanui goes away from Perth. Goldstein has had a reasonable year and Witts from GC as well.  The two pronged St Kilda ruck team has been excellent as well.

sinclair at st kilda? the bloke struggles to make their squad... Also yeo won't make it. Jarrad Lyons, Taylor Adams, Cam Guthrie, Zac merret and Zak Jones are a good chance

Unless he falls away dramatically, Trac is a lock

Oliver is on the edge. If he comes home with a wet sail he’s a chance but the general consensus seems to be that he’s only come good the last few weeks, which isn’t actually true. Hopefully his end to the year becomes too good to ignore.

Pretty much only Melbourne supporters fully appreciate the season that May has had. Some of his best games have been in losses so have garnered less attention. Will be lucky to make the squad but he’d be worthy if he did. Next to no chance he makes the final side. Haven’t heard his name mentioned anywhere.

Max has had a couple of average games and now missed a couple more which will cost him. He will make the squad but it’s looking likely they will go with NicNat and Goldstein. Grundy is no chance.

Agree with most of the above.

Trac is in.

Oliver not in yet, but if his current form continues, he is in.

Gawn in the squad, but unless they go a second ruck on the bench, I think he misses (at the moment). FWIW, I have Gawn ahead of Goldstein, he has dropped off pretty sharply imo.

Maybe I'm on my own here but I've never quite understood the intense debate that goes into the picking of a team that doesn't actually play against anyone. It's not like they're going to represent us in a World Cup. I'm not against bestowing accolades on the best players in our game but just think this concept is a bit daft.

I don't have too much to say about your post, but love your name and Avatar. Not too sure how many Demonlanders would understand, but to anyone with Scottish connections, Rab is an institution. Four knot-cornered handkerchief hat, string singlet, unintelligible English. Brilliant.

    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
