Discussion on recent allegations about the use of illicit drugs in football is forbidden
  • IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING

    Posting unsubstantiated rumours on this website is strictly forbidden.

    Demonland has made the difficult decision to not permit this platform to be used to discuss & debate the off-field issues relating to the Melbourne Football Club including matters currently being litigated between the Club & former Board members, board elections, the issue of illicit drugs in footy, the culture at the club & the personal issues & allegations against some of our players & officials ...

    We do not take these issues & this decision lightly & of course we believe that these serious matters affecting the club we love & are so passionate about are worthy of discussion & debate & I wish we could provide a place where these matters can be discussed in a civil & respectful manner.

    However these discussions unfortunately invariably devolve into areas that may be defamatory, libelous, spread unsubstantiated rumours & can effect the mental health of those involved. Even discussion & debate of known facts or media reports can lead to finger pointing, blame & personal attacks.

    The repercussion is that these discussions can open this website, it’s owners & it’s users to legal action & may result in this website being forced to shutdown.

    Our moderating team are all volunteers & cannot moderate the forum 24/7 & as a consequence problematic content that contravenes our rules & standards may go unnoticed for some time before it can be removed.

Your club's best 22

Your club's best 22 in 2023: Who's in, who's out, who's new (afl.com.au)

Not the team I'd have. I'd definitely have Bowey in the side ahead of Rivers but the rest is pretty close.

melbourne.jpg?width=500

It's hard to see the Dees' line-up changing too dramatically but expect a few new faces in 2023. Melbourne brought in three seasoned players but it's unlikely all three will fit into its best 22. The injection of Brodie Grundy will fill the obvious second ruck void that Luke Jackson's departure left while also allowing Max Gawn to sit forward, or even be used as a marking option behind the ball. Lachie Hunter adds midfield depth but may struggle to break into the star-studded engine room, while Tom McDonald will return from the Lisfranc foot injury that sidelined him for the second half of the season. Although hampered by injury, Ben Brown was a long way off his best and will need to rediscover his mojo to keep his spot. Jacob Van Rooyen is knocking down the door after a sensational season in the VFL and would be expected to earn his spot as early as round one, while Bailey Laurie is another promising youngster waiting in the wings. Although his versatility allows him to play at either end, Josh Schache is unlikely to break into the 22 unless there's injuries, while Jake MelkshamAdam Tomlinson and James Jordon could also be unlucky as the team moves forward. – Alison O'Connor

Last week I saved this….

… and was gonna ask you to tell us who you’d pick for best 22, but in every team, not just ours. Then I realised that’s a lot to ask of you. But if you do have a spare lifetime or two, I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Yeah I'll have a look at it. Most are pretty spot on but I find it difficult to believe that Weideman couldn't get a game for basket case Essendon.

Hobbs and Grainger-Barass stiff to miss out also due to playing in very poor teams.

There was many different offerings in terms of every team’s best 22. They all differ of course but the core is basically the same.

I actually like that team IF fully fit. Not a bad effort by afl.com.au standards

Are you dropping Hibberd on his very good 2nd half of 2022 season or is it based on his age?

Do you understand ANBs role

Turner holding down CHB after 2 quarters played in 2022?

Not having a crack, just interested in your thoughts with these 3 players

Backing Chandler in to do ANB’s role (and offer more when we are going forward).

Hibbo could be seen as stiff, but Bowey needs to find his way back in the team so we can add some tidy possession coming out of the back.

Turner in so we can see how well Petty could perform that Forward role we’ve desperately been trying to see. Also stiff on Turner - we have 3 Elite Keybacks so it was always going to be hard to find his way in. And his form at Casey has been superb. Backing him in to have a big preseason.

I don’t mind this team.

That's a pretty rubbish effort.

James Harmes has already failed at HB and won't be playing there.  The forward line is top heavy and there's at least one too many talls in the 22.  Lachie Hunter has arrived to play on the wing and Angus Brayshaw played HB and midfield last year.  Yes James Jordon is extremely unlucky not to make the best 26.

With the full list Fit and firing there are going to be 6-8 players that will need to be knocking the door down at Casey and that is not including who else we bring in during the draft.

Our regulars are-

May, Petty, Hibberd,  

Salem, Lever, Rivers    

Langdon, Petracca, Hunter 

ANB, TMac, Fritsch. 

Pickett, BB, Sparrow 

Gawn, Oliver, Viney.    

Grundy, Brayshaw, JJ, Harmes, Bowey

E: JvR, Spargo, Chandler, Turner, Dunstan, Melksham,Smith, Laurie, Schache, Tomlinson

if TMac and BB aren’t fit then JVR and Schache provide immediate cover. Turner and Tomlinson cover tall backs. Assumes that Hunter will take opposite wing to Langdon.

Parkin said Premiership sides need to change by 5 for the next season. 
As much as we love our September heroes, we did seem to be trying to re-field our flag team each week. 
Pretty much our best team. 
 

Based on age - Hibberd, TMac and BB would be out. Unfair, I know but ol Father Time has first call. 
 

Who replaces those three? JVR would be one I imagine. Two more

Grundy for Jackson is easy. 
Who comes in,  who goes out as fifth?
X Factor?

Bowey
JVR
Jordon

I agree with this team.
 

Surely ANB and Spargo couldn’t have another poor year.  They had some glimpses but overall were very disappointing.   Goodie’s favourites so I agree they are likely to start round 1, but pressure should come from Chandler and Laurie for these 2 spots.

I hope we are all surprised by the 22.  Given how formulaic and predictable we were i hope we see an upbeat addition to our generally sound style, with skills and speed added on every line. This would mean different talents used in different ways.  Our core remains, but i hope to see some new and younger faces demanding selection around the edges.  Only then will we keep up in ‘23.

The type of team we would not realistically see round One....Hopefully at some stage during the year!

It "should" be a new year and all spots up for grabs. I expect Goodwin will stick with some of his faves, but will be forced into changes through some very ordinary performances from my listed emergencies.

There has to genuine pressure on all players to perform, i think after last year we will not wait so long "hoping" player X gains form. Injured or beaten up players to be rested.  Changes to winning sides is allowed!

My best 22 here will all current listed players so you can see who is in or out.

I'm really not sure if they plan on starting both Gawn and Grundy on the field - they might but I would start one in the bench then bring on the other to create a mismatch. I also can't see us playing TMac, JVR and Brown with Gawn and Grundie in the team, so I've left Brown out to start.

Harmes is stiff, but he just doesn't have a position unless he is replacing Sparrow or Jordan (very possible). Spargo gets the nod over him as the only forward on the bench (especially with extra tall forwards, the flexibility is needed).

If there is a 5th on the bench I'm unsure if we'll go an extra tall (Brown) or a runner like Harmes.

We've got decent cover in most positions, but like most sides, 4-5 injuries will really test the quality of that depth.

I'm quite doubtful we'll go into any game next year with all of Gawn, Grundy, Brown, TMac and Van Rooyen playing (alongside May, Lever and Petty).

At least one of Brown/TMac/Van Rooyen misses.

Agree, unless they are splitting the ruck 50/50 and not playing them fwd.  Which is doubtful

    DEPTH CHARGE by Whispering Jack

    The jubilation on the coach’s face as he danced a celebratory jig by the playing bench after the final siren sounded to record his team’s four-point victory over the Demons when the teams last met, said it all.    On that rainy Friday night at the Adelaide Oval, Ken Hinkley’s young midfield secured much more than four points on offer. The victory over one of the big dogs of the competition after a succession of wins over some of its lesser lights gave his team respect and validation fo

    HIBERNATING by KC from Casey

    When they locked up the rooms for summer at the end of last year’s football season, the rooms gathered cobwebs, the atmosphere became dense and the place developed a sleepy feel. They opened up the rooms to let Casey out to play on Sunday but the team was still hibernating and they missed the bulk of the opening quarter. By the time they worked out it was game on, their opponents from Box Hill had accumulated five goals and, if the game wasn’t over, it might as well have been. For a se

    A FORK IN THE HAWK by George on the Outer

    For too long in the past, Demon fans became habitually sick and tired of watching the Hawks hand out thrashings to their side. But Melbourne’s empahtic 55-point win at the MCG on Saturday has truly put a fork in the Hawk and turned that history well and truly on its head. The Demons have now won nine of their last ten encounters with the other result, a draw.     And like a fork, it was the multi-pronged options that Melbourne had all across the ground.  It certainly helped that Hawthorn
