What is our best 22? 

Injuries and new recruits aside what would your best 22 look like Rnd 1 2021? Fire away.

B: Lockhart May Hore

HB: Rivers Lever Salem

C  Langdon Brayshaw Bennell

HF: Harmes Jackson Melksham

F: Pickett Weideman Fritsch

F: Gawn, Oliver, Petracca

I: Hannan Viney AVB Tomlinson

E: Hibberd Jordan Sparrow Petty

Interesting team.

This is how I see it. (@Werridee will love this thread)

I'd have Tomlinson in the back 6 or a traded in KPD, but I wouldn't have Hore in the team at all. Petty definitely ahead of him. 

I'd love Bennell to be able to play on a wing, but is his body up to it?

As it stands, I don't think Melksham and Fritsch can play in the same team.

I reckon three or four places on the bench are up for grabs.

This is pretty depressing to read, we dont really have any midfield depth at all and banking on a first year player to hold down chf and a bloke that has played a handful of games and can't get his body right as either key forward or back

We absolutely do have midfield depth.

Petracca, Oliver, Harmes, Viney, Brayshaw are 5 very solid mids.

Then who 

I'd run defensive forwards through there as we did in 2018. I'd like to think Bennell might be able to get involved too, but his tackling left a lot to be desired this year.

Best 22 for Round 1 2021

FB:  M. Hore  S. May  T. Rivers

HB:  J. Lever  T. McDonald  C. Salem

C:  E. Langdon  A. Brayshaw  T. Phillips

HF:  B. Fritsch  J. Hogan  K. Pickett

FF:  T. Bedford  S. Weideman  J. Viney(resting mid rotation)

Fol:  M. Gawn  C. Petracca  C. Oliver

Int:  M. Hibberd  J. Harmes  L. Jackson  J. Lockhart

Think Hogan and Phillips are very fringe at current club, and if we are lucky enough to get an CHF well McDonald was once a super solid defender, very reliable.  also is a few wing types going to be available so no reason we cant get one as long as we can afford it.

Best 22 from current list

FB:  M. Hore  S. May  T. Rivers

HB:  J. Lever  A. Thomlinson  M. Hibberd

C:  E. Langdon  A. Brayshaw  C. Salem

HF:  B. Fritsch  L. Jackson  K. Pickett

FF:  T. Bedford  S. Weideman  J. Viney(resting mid rotation)

Fol:  M. Gawn  C. Petracca  C. Oliver

Int:  H. Bennell  J. Harmes  T. Sparrow  J. Lockhart

EMG: H. Petty  T. Mcdonald  C. Spargo  J. Jordan

I tend to agree. He will be lucky to survive. I'm finding it very hard to make a best 22 when players that should have improved have been poor like Brayshaw, Harmes and Vandenberg.

Shouldn't happen - Phillips can't kick, we can fix Harmes. Won't happen x 3 - Gus isn't worth a first, Preuss isn't worth Aliir, Vanders isn't worth Cumming.

Could happen, but I see it as unlikely.

Won't happen x 2. The Crows don't need ANB. Williams we can't afford.

Max Gawn  james Harmes  Clayton Oliver 

Jack Viney, Angus Brayshaw, Luke Jackson, Bailey Fritsch 

 

Some positional changes i'd make. 

Tmac to CHB. a full pre season of working on his running i think he can settle back into that position with much more support around him. 

Lever to the back flank. he's consistently caught one on one. he'll be dangerous for us as a quarter back player who can use his kicking and leave his opponent and intercept. 

Really rate Rivers, would be backing him to develop into the wingman we're crying out for. 

I think Harry Petty has shown great signs as a forward and i'd be willing to back him in if he can get fit, Vanders and Spargo down there provides some tackle pressure and also dangerous players. Bennell and Melksham help address the inside 50 conversion.

Phillips is a wingman and that's what we need Harmes is not what we need. I think Brayshaw is still worth a pick between 10 and 20. Aliir was dropped not getting a game Preuss is the ruckman they need and Cumming isn't even getting a game is he? Give ANB away for nothing some team will take him for nothing. The big one Why can't we afford Williams we are an ordinary team not even a top 8 team. We should be able to afford anyone especially if we can offload McDonald.

Why are you wanting blokes who can’t get a game at clubs lower on the ladder than us?

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    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
