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.

  • 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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    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.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
