Melbourne has a spot left for a train on either Burgoyne or Turner.

 

I like it a lot.

I have a preference for bowey starting over hibberd, jvr over bb and jordon over harmes.

For Hibberd?

A lot of quality and raw potential Werridee really looking for a number of our younger players to step up this year.!!!


IN   Bowey JVR and Disco with Petty up forward.

OUT Hibbo and BBB ANB most likely.

Haven't  learnt much from 2022  Werridee.

Agree, except for ANB

there is no way anb will not be in our best 22

add jj to the 'best 23' as it is now and i reckon you've got it more or less spot on

expecting jvr to challenge sideshow bob for starting key forward role

 

Happy with that list Werridee Thanks for doing this!

We have a very strong next 6 plus able replacements for possible injuries.

I fully expect strong competition for some places which is not only necessary but essential for the development of the club and for premierships

Stale.

What’s changed up fwd, that’s a large part of what went wrong last season. Isn’t Brown going to have a delayed start after surgery?

Out. : Brown Spargo

In : JVR Chandler

Another season of watching ANB and Sparrow play 20+ games is it

I still feel like we aren’t dynamic enough forward of the ball in terms of our talls. I’m very hopeful JVR takes one of the spots.

Also, all of my concerns would be evaluated if we didn’t kick the ball so poorly forward.

Brown out. Gawn to FF rotating with Grundy and McDonald to a lessor extent. Petty to chf with Turner as the chb. I would have ANB out as well with Chandler replacing him but it will not happen. Hibberd out and Rivers in. Bowey must be on the bench at least. I am a little iffy about Hunter. Jordan plays well on the wing but is a little too predictable.

McDonald's back that's all we need up forward. If Brown isn't fit then van Rooyen takes his spot. Injuries and McDonald out ruined 22.

ideally, yes

altho as seen the week off btw home & away and finals changes things and home ground advantage means little

Key back: May, Petty, Lever, Turner, Tomlinson
Medium back: Hibberd, Rivers, J Smith
Small backs: Salem, Bowey

Rucks: Gawn, Grundy
Mids: Oliver, Petracca, Viney, Harmes, Brayshaw, Sparrow, Dunstan
Wings: Langdon, Hunter, JJ

Key fwd: McDonald, Brown, JVR, Schache
Medium fwd: Fritsch, Melk
Small fwd: Pickett, Spargo, ANB, Chandler

With the extra round and a heap of games outside Melbourne it really should become more of a squad approach. Especially if we tweak the game plan and need to see how players adapt.

Above is our top 32 players who should form the bulk of the best 22.

The remaining 11 are first to third year kids. It will be interesting to see if any of them can crack a debut. I’m sure Howes will be a popular pick. Laurie should be pushing his case more regularly. But if there’s a role for him I’d actually put a bet on Taj Woewodin getting a game

I’m really interested to see how the Lions go with Dunkley and Gunston (I wished we had got him). Prior to the Lions beating us in the semi final we destroyed them in 

Rd .15 117 v 53

Rd. 23 115 v 57

How much of our semi final loss was them and how much was us. They have a tough draw so will be interesting to see the final make up of the 8 next season.

i think the gap week robbed us of momentum heading into finals and then we were clearly walking wounded in the semi

it was a shocking end to the season, but we achieved the main goal of being top four - indeed, top two - at the end of the home and away

everything that could go wrong in the two finals did go wrong

  • 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.

    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.
