What are the key match-ups? Who wins and how much by?

    I'd probably have Cooper Cronk shadowed by Tracker and Billy Slater by May and Lever. Backing Bellamy and Goodwin to coach each other to a nil all draw.

    I’m finding this topic too cringeworthy to pass up so I’ll play before mods delete it. 
     

    I’d send May straight to Watts. 
    Bowey to James Sellars.

    Mitch Clark was doing pretty well for us until he was injured. I think May would have to take him. 2022 team would just have Lever picking off any passes anyone tried to send to Watts.

    At the other end, Frawley would have his hands full with a fit BBB. I'd definitely pick 2022 Tom McDonald in my team, just so that 2012 Tom could be sent to him. I'd back the 2012 version to keep himself quiet.

    Nathan Jones was at peak power in 2012 but our 2022 midfield would absolutely smash them.

    And as a desperate tactic if I was Mark Neeld, I'd pick 2012 Max, have him wear a fake beard and try to fool the 2022 team into passing the ball to him.

    Jamar would give Gawn a decent opponent in the ruck. Taps directly to Beamer (every single time). Moloney would burst forward and throw it on the boot which would be easily intercepted by Lever, Petty and May.

    This is no way a dig at Moloney. He cops a bad wrap on here at times but his throw it on the boot tatic at stoppages would be destroyed by our current team.

    After it happens three times in a row the vein in Mark Neelds neck explodes from yelling into the phone too loud. Before Mark can make it to the ambulance, Cam Schwab notices that the blood coming out of Neelds vein is the perfect colour he has been looking for the players guernsey. Unfortunately we are still playing in the purple one with the fake collar.

    The following week Moloney is dropped and replaced by Magner

    Only 3 players still on the list.   random predictions for the game:

    tackles McKenzie tags Trac

    who takes Jurrah? He will kick 5

    Magner luckily stopped building Eastlink so he can make the game

    Gysberts to win his 3rd rising star nom

    maybe try Howe down back???

    dont know whether to laugh or cry!

    I think we will be much better structured defensively in 2013. Hearing rumours Tom Gillies will be in Red & Blue in ‘13.

    You forgot about Jimmy Toumpas , Nathan Stark and Mitch Clisby. I reckon they might be great players into the future for the Club. Wonder when Neeld will win us a Premiership ?

    Cough cough... horrible cold tonight...

    Did you hear the Chris Dawes trade whispers?  His 100kg 195cm frame will revolutionise our forward line in 2013.

    I find it interesting that there are so many one on one battles here that I believe the 2012 would at least break even with in talent comparisons.  I might be on my own here but they really should have been more competitive then they were.  Not 100% sure but did they even beat 1 non expansion team for the year?

    The 2012 coaching and development teams we had at the time were just devastating to the club.  One [censored] sandwich after the next with so many good honest role players having there careers ruined.

    Or

    6-6-6 rule means no loose players and quick long bomb from centre stoppage works a treat 😉

    That 2012 midfield is putrid and uninspiring. The 2012 forward line is pretty decent though IMO.

    Anyway obviously 2022 thumps them. Not sure what the point of this thread is!

    That comment is offensive and disrespectful. They were the best three in those positions that we had at the time and they deserve our support and respect as Demon players.

    That they were not as successful as the current three might be due to the combination of the structure of the club, coaching, administration and player development. Who knows how they might have progressed with today's club.

    2012 was a stinking bad year, after a somewhat promising 2010 and 2011 (prior to 186)

    In answer to your questions, we beat Essendon once as the only non expansion team, GWS twice and GC once. The GWS win in Canberra felt like a loss.

    I try to forget 2012.

    We were awful that year...although 2013 was worse.

    I remember when we had all these high hopes for Mark Neeld as the new Melbourne Demons coach. Lol! 😅🤣😆

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
