I know it's very early in the piece with trade and draft period yet to conclude, however it'd be interesting to see what people think is the best mix for our 22 given who may be coming in/going out for next years season? Could be a best possible scenario or what you think may happen this trade period with likely inclusions. 

FB: Hibberd May Lever

HB: Salem Tomlinson Rivers

C: Langdon Oliver Baker/Phillips

HF: Fritsch Weideman Brayshaw

FF: Pickett Brown Hunt 

FOL: Gawn Viney Trac

INT: Jackson Lockhart Spargo Harmes

Next few: Melksham, Smith, Sparrow, AVB

It doesnt look too likely that there'll be too many more inclusions past Ben Brown this trade period, however would still love to have Phillips on the wing. My only other thought is if Tmac stays, I'd like to see him have one last crack at CHB and see if Tomlinson can crack that wing role, if not I still think that we're relying too much on someone like Baker to perform out on that wing at this stage in his career. I know Melksham seems to be immune from the axe at selection, but I really dont think he has too much to offer that Fritsch already does. 

 

My thoughts exactly Demonstone.

Petty must be chance too.

Has Petty done any training this year at all

I wouldn't be relying on him too much just yet


Even if we land a winger we're a pressure forward short (IMO).  Maybe Spargo / Hunt / Bedford can get it done but the teams that do it best have lots of options - eg Richmond were able to trade Dan Butler out last year and are looking to trade Higgins this year and they still have numerous options up there.

Otherwise we're banking on Yze being able to fix all our centre square and connection between midfield and forward line issues.  If it were possible, then it would certainly be easier to play a pressure forward role in our team.  I hear Yze's good, but not sure if anyone is that good.

That is what “chance” meant.  He would be a chance to be in our best 22.

Why start this thread on Day 1 of trade period?  Why not wait until the end?

 

Why make this thread at all? Given the team is different about 80% of the time each week.

Yes Proper

Chance needs a modifier to mean anything right?

i'm itching to get involved here but i'm not convinced that we'll bring in any of phillips or mckernahan as yet...nor that we'll ship out any or all of t mac or o mac or hannan or preuss or avb or anb, who all seem likely options to depart (or at least what we'll get back for them)

this is NOT the team i would go with necessarily, but it is one option...

for now it looks like 

Lever May Hibberd

Salem Petty Rivers

Langdon Viney Baker

Fritsch Weideman Harmes

Pickett Brown Jackson

Gawn Oliver Petracca

Brayshaw Spargo Hore Jones

emerg: Lockhart Tomlinson Melksham Bedford

Is Werridee a bit of a rainman - can't talk or comment about anything, just keeps inanely filing teams like they are of importance like Qantas airline.

this, this should concern absolutely everybody connected to the MFC, we should all be fired up and angry if we go into next year and a player as bang average as ANB is considered unlucky to play 1s in round 1.

Pick 43 is a chance he is the difference between us winning a premiership or not.

Personal pet peeve: anyone who puts up a best 22 without also listing at least the emergencies (thanks @AaronDaveyChipsAndGravey) but preferably listing the next 8-10.

There are 40ish on a list, and while the top 10-12 are always locks, outside of that there is normally almost always a controversial call. Working out which fringe player was not included is always a pain!

 

Cant say I am too thrilled by the best 22''s.     Tomlinson at CHB is depressing.  Need Harrison Petty to have a big summer.

So much will come down to the improvement of Pickett and Luke Jackson. 

Also need to clone Travis Johnstone, he would be the icing on the cake for this team.

impossible to factor in the picks until we know what we're getting really, particularly when the picks are likely (?) to change

  • 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.

    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.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
