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...

    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

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
