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.

Has to be top 2 !

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

    After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
