PECKING ORDER FOR TALL FORWARDS

1. B.BROWN

2. WEIDEMAN

3. JACKSON

4. MCDONALD

5. M.BROWN

 

What was a weakness could be a strength if B.Brown can find his form and Weidman and Jackson can improve.

 

PECKING ORDER SMALL FORWARDS

1. PICKETT

2. FRITSCH

3. MELKSHAM

4. HUNT

5. SPARGO

6. NEAL-BULLEN

7. LAURIE

8. BEDFORD

 

Still a weakness but our depth is better hopefully Laurie can climb up the ladder.

    talls you've got just about spot on Brown, Weid, Jacko will play together and if one misses i doubt it'll be a like for like tall replacement probably a mid-sized option given fritsch can play the 3rd role.

    TMac will again get the early chance as next in should 2 miss ahead of brown but i suspect by end of season brown will again go past him and both will move off the list to make room for another developer.

    in the smalls department 

    Pickett, Fritsch will play 22 games, Melk will get first crack but shouldn't see out the season whatsoever if he dishes up more of 2020s form. Laurie is my shout for the other round 1 spot edging out all other comers. Spargo will also get a healthy run in the side hopefully from round 1 as i like what he offers when he's tackling and pressing. and i hope bedford gets chances before they revert to the tried and failed ANB, AVB, hunt and out-of-form melky

    Round 1 will look like

    Fritsch-Weid-Melk

    Pickett-Brown-Jackson

    Spargo Laurie

    but i'd like to see Bedford/Harmes in the side before Melksham

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
