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

You wrote the question, I suppose you know the answer your after?

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.

2022 by 276 points.


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! 😅🤣😆

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
