Tried to pick the side for position and not AA style, could be an argument that my back six is a bit too tall, cannot go past LOVETT on HB, WIGHT also just just over LEVER, after all he did match it with God. I think gets the speed / strength balance right with Wight in the team. WARD and RIVERS thereabouts in Defense and JETTA/GARLAND were pretty outstanding in some crap sides. DAVEY and JOHNSTONE elite ball users. WHELAN was just such a weapon, would want him on my shoulder anywhere, JETTA not far behind his 1v1 wins are/were brilliant.

GREEN never felt like he reached everything he could be and great clubman that he is felt like he mailed it in sometimes (sorry). BRUCE's hospital passes still frustrate me even though he purred like a big cat running and had the ball on a string.

Mids/Followers -- Oliver is clear head and shoulders above everyone else, and Petracca in last 18mth> Woewodin/Bruce/McDonald/Jones/Moloney. Tingay was the 2nd coming of Jesus until he damaged the nerve, am still sad about it too...

Forwards - I would back this combination against any other team I can think of, three talls(sort of) Lyon, Jackovich, Schwarz...Boomshakalaka, Smalls - Farmer, Robertson, and Davey would be cricket scores every week. 

Interchange - elite ball users all, for excellent delivery to our marking power and Stynes as the utility.

Fairway off some of the other teams posted here - Jurrah just not enough of a body of work, I do see an argument for Jeff White over Stynes as well. My sincere apologies to Woewodin/Jones/MCDonald, I am trying to take Langdon out of the wing for one of them, and am probably suffering from memory loss but Langdon's run and improved disposal has been incredible. Powell not forgotten, Moloney on song was good but a one trick pony with disposal for too long. Apologies to FEEBY/ VINEY (Both)/

B: WIGHT, MAY, WHELAN

HB:  RIVERS, NEITZ, B.LOVETT

C: LANGDON, PETRACCA, TINGAY

HF: LYON, SCHWARZ, DAVEY

F: FARMER, JAKOVICH, ROBERTSON

IC: STYNES, JOHNSTONE, SALEM, YZE

Emergency (am sorry but I cannot make this smaller)

LEVER, WOEWODIN, JURRAH, WHITE, MCDONALD,  JETTA, JONES, S. FEEBY

I’m a bit surprised with the amount of teams without Nate Jones in them.

Team captain, 3x B&F and 2nd for all time games played made him a certain starter for mine.

Huge love for the man, also for James MCD but who do you drop? Captains didn't fair well with my side, despite my love for them, Green didn't get an emergency spot either.

@SupermercadoAlso re Bennet - very good point!!!

I feel dirty that I didn't have room for S Febey. If Salem has another year like this year he becomes a starter.

CAVEAT if the team salutes on the 25th, then all of my selections become null and void, and the winning team is the greatest since 1964.

I completely forgot about Rivers and Nathan.Brown so Rivers goes to CHB and N.Brown replaces Grinter at half back.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
