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.

Petracca is a lock, Oliver & Gawn are bench chances. Don’t think May will get a look in, considering it’s largely media hype based.

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

My guess is the team right now would be 

 

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.  


I would say Oliver and Trac are locks, Gawn’s injury is hurting his chances. 

Lol any chance to do a best 22.

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.

Hes only missed 2 games.  He would be in the team for sure.

Nic Nat his only real competition, and they will just go with 2 rucks anyway.

Grundy is not even on the radar this season.

 

Max has had some outstanding games this year, but he's also had 2 or 3 ordinary ones, and then been injured. I wouldn't have him in my AA team at this point.

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

Yes you forgot Langdon and Brayshaw for starters

I will let it slide that you left Weideman out as he missed the first 4 games

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. 

 

My roughie, Caleb Daniel from the Dogs. From the Dees, Trac a cert and Maxy on the bench.

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.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • 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

    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.
