The first 22 players are the players that played friday night. I think our top 10 performed just fine it was the bottom 12 that let us down. 23 to 33 are the best ranked players who have played games but didn't play against Brisbane and 34 to 43 are the best ranked players who haven't played a game.

Interesting anyalysis, isn't it.

Not an easy list to really wrap your head around but creates good discussion.

I've highlted 3 that off the top of my head i reckon we got a lot more out of last year and showed our lack of KPF depth in the the end. We really lacked T Mac as a solid CHF replacement, as well as a drop from (due to injuries/form) Level and Salem.

We know Oliver, Tracc, Brayshaw, Gawn etc can play but really saw a drop from role players in some areas for FY 2022.

Personally i would love to see some more flexibility in seasons 2023, and some  young kids stand up like JVR, Bowey, Howes, Turner to give us that additional depth and flexibility.

If we have Disco, Lever, May, Petty, Smith as KPD, surely one has to move forward.

I know he is a preimeriship defender but i'd think Petth has to go forward in season 2023.

I'd have Disco as cover. Petty and Smith can be swing men. I'm one of the that would love to see Gawn spend more time up forward. It's probably the reason demonlanders don't like Grundy because they only see Gawn as a ruckman.

3 Key defenders Lever, May, Petty (swingman), Smith can play tall and small (swingman) Turner as cover

3 key forwards van Rooyen, McDonald and Gawn Petty and Smith (swingmen) Ben Brown as cover. 


Yep 100% on board with you @WERRIDEE

We saw in the last 5 mins of tthe SF how damaging a good markign forward significantly improves our side. Unfortunetly BBB is not that player and T Mac was injured, but the mechinism should have been in place to throw Petty up forward to help Gawn and BBB.

Lets hope for season 2023 we see a bit more flexibility and less injury interuptions.

I agree WERRIDEE we have the KPD positions well covered and like the idea of Petty/Smith as swing men provides a lot of flexibility we can also use TMac the other way or direct swap with Petty. Even if we get Grundy we still need another ruck/ forward and another forward to support TMac, JVR, Fritsch and BB. One that likes a bit of body on body with strong hands with a bit of mongrel as well. Plus another big bodied mid with a bit of pace to keep everyone sharp, we may already posses that player but not sure. I am really hopeful that Bedford, Chandler, JVR, Bowey, Laurie, Howes and Woewodin get a run in 2023 must keep refreshing the list.

  • Thank You Simon Goodwin

    As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

  • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

  • REPORT: West Coast

    The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

  • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

    With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
