The backline will be interesting

There isnt much competition for the true FB, CHB. Its between May, Weitering &   Stewart  probably ends up taking one of the pockets and i think Maynard gets the other pocket.

I think Gus will be close to securing one of the HB roles, given his defensive form and recent time in the midfield, which ticks both boxes. 

Trac and Oliver are 100% locks. Gawn will be likely (pairing up with Witts for the ruck combo). Having 5 players in the team will be a tough ask, given Geelong are unlikely to have that many.

    Fair selections. You'd reckon Oliver, Trac, May and Max will get jackets.

    Fritta and Brayshaw next season!

    Lingers struggled the second half of the year and many here were calling on Kozzie to be dropped half way through the year!

    surely ANB gets a nomination for the best spew of the season

    I think May is actually a bit lucky. 

    Has Had an average 2nd half year compared to last year. He has been in most people's AA teams by default

    Lingers stiff but the truth is he doesn’t handle a tag very well, maybe that’s why he missed

    Only 2 rucks, and Gawn [censored] all over Witts.

    Delighted for Fritta. 50 goals - best medium forward in the AFL by a country mile.

    Sam Taylor is a lock for one of the KPB positions. May should get the nod ahead of Weitering and Stewart for the other, and I'd imagine Stewart would get the BP position. Maynard should get the other BP position, and the half backs should go to Daniel Rioli and Sinclair.

    He’s been a bit off his best but at the same time since he came back from his break he’s easily beaten Daniher twice and taken care of Walker, McKay, Hawkins and Naughton. 

    Unless I’ve forgotten someone the only key forward who’s really got away on him was Peter Wright early in the year

    Playing half a season of ordinary football probably played a role too

    I’d have Wilkie in a back pocket, such a great shut down defender. And I’d have Sicily over Taylor, just does so much more.

    Stewart CHB, Maynard back flank. Rioli’s been great but only need 1 rebounding defender

    Jeez max could go 5 in a row!

    He should go 6 in a row. Witt's has been pretty good but no where in the Max tier. I'd only go one ruckman. I get having 2 when Grundy and gawn where both playing at the same high level but no ruckman could claim to be at Max's level this year

    No Maynard? I think he’s had a very very good year. 

  • Quote

    If Max gets his sixth jumper that puts him ( deservedly) into rarified company.

    Max is so bloody good his "average" performances get underrated . Yet an "average" performance from Max is light years ahead of the best from almost any ruckman I can remember.

    Plus he is an outstanding captain.

    Absolute champion of the game

    I think Sinclair has had a better year so much so that they had to put a tagger on him.

    No ifs about it he WILL get his 6th AA jacket.

    • 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.

    • 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.
