Through  the trade and draft periods,  we have  new players. Which 5  players new and old do you want to see have a stellar  season. 

My list

1 Angus  Brayshaw  needs to be given  opportunities in the centre .

2 Ben Brown to hit the scoreboard and provide support to the younger players in the forward line.

3 Jayden Hunt to work with Ed and use his speed and improve  his disposal.

4 Trent Rivers to continue to build  his skills and work  rate.

5 Kozzie Pickett to continue with  his defensive efforts and work on the craft of a small forward.

Numbering

 

Weiderman - I really think he has the talent to be a top 10-15 forward in the competition, I think it’s largely down to confidence so hopefully reaching out to Jonno Brown will help

Ben Brown - big off season recruit, naturally would like to see him do well and create a dangerous Buddy/Roughead-like combo with Sam

Brayshaw - I feel like Angus needs clear direction as he is better than what we saw largely in 2020. Unfortunately I think it’s a bit to do with Viney’s style, this gets sorted and we get back a player who came 3rd in the Brownlow

Kozzie - 2020 was a year of “almost’s” for Kozzie. His first shot at goal should’ve gone through the big sticks after creating a great opportunity. He got into dangerous positions lots of times but failed to finish too many times, hopefully a year of experience will help with him taking these chances in 2021

May - had a cracker of a 2020 and it was a disgrace he didn’t even get into the AA squad. I want him to back it up in 2021 and demand he be given AA honours

I think the fringe range players is where we need our lift 

 

Weid, Joel Smith, Fristch, Vanders & Harmes

Gawn

Petracca 

Clarry

May

Brown 


Our bottom 5 whoever they may be need to improve and make us a good all round team. No use having our better players dominate when bottom 5 or so do nothing. That is where we move to a to 4 side

Weid

Gus

Fritta

Whoever plays on the opposite wing to Langdon

Lever

If those five get going, along with the usual suspects in Gawn, Tracc, Clarry and May, watch out.

Really hope we get to see what Jackson has to offer this year. 
 

Kozzie to really grow into the defensive forward, crumbing role

Tracc to move up to Dusty level

someone to make the other wing their own to compliment Langdon - TMacc, Hunt, Smith???

 

 

 

Gawn

Clarry

Viney

B.Brown

Brayshaw

It is the biggest hole in our list.

We have recruited 3 players who could fill the position too but I doubt they would be ready for the big time.

I wonder if we just continue to rotate with Vanders and Tomlinson like we did last year with Jones helping out from half forward flank (could see Jackson rotating through here too), or if Baker is ready to take the spot full time. I have my doubts.

Weidman is a interesting one. I feel he will need another  year or two to fill out  and be able to contest in one on one's . But I believe  he is 200 gamer if his body holds up. With Brown he should grow and his output in the forward line will improve.

Missed word

The opening post is a tough question.

Assuming all our guns play to the same level as they did last year it would have to be...

Brayshaw

Pickett

Ben Brown

Weideman

Melksham 

The last one is a hope and a prayer. He was so damaging in 2018 but has been nowhere near it for the last 2 years. He didnt get dropped last year because (I assume) he was a leader up forward which we lacked big time, but his performance was terrible.

4 out of my 5 are forwards. It was a rubbish up there last year.

Weideman

Petty

TMac

Melksham

Bedford

Thinking about  Melksham, Vanders and Hibberd, I feel they are limited  due their bodies. In looking  at  the matches from 2018 to 2020. The three was slow and had poor disposals. On a good day, the three are game winners but it was a few years ago sadly. I really like  Vanders bull at the ball attitude  and hopefully  we see more of that in 2021. Melksham  and Hibberd  may come back fresh with a bit more speed and regain their mojo. 


Two players who are way too comfortable with themselves despite their crap form of the last two seasons  - Harmes and Brayshaw.

Edited by Pickett2Jackson

The midfield is where we can improve. Only Petracca was outstanding the rest have had better seasons. The backline looks solid and with Ben.Brown up forward it's looking more stable it will be interesting to see the improvement from Dogga, Weid and Kossie under Brown. Looking forward to a good season from the boys.

Don't take it personally i am just having some fun.

Give me a best 22.

Clarry __can take the next level by being more penetrating  by foot. 

Maysie __ To follow up where he left from  in 2020 He was superb.

Jackson-- showed with a hand full of games he has what it takes to make the grade.

Ben Brown -- is a vital piece and chomping at the bit. He will show why.

Rivers -- 9 games under his belt plays like a 100 gamer. Amazing.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
