I reckon that's pretty good - for mine on team balance I'd have Chin in for Harmes or Sparrow.

I hope they take advantage of this depth this year and rotate our players through

Our added depth this year is McVee and Chandler. McVee is replacing Hibbo and Chandler’s fighting to hold a spot ahead of one of the depth mids as Pickett plays more midfield.

As for the best possible 22 - which is mostly irrelevant as the chances of having all 22 fit and firing is slim - there’s still plenty of questions.

Will our talls hold form and fitness through the year? Will the rucks and big forwards work?

Do we need Brayshaw, Harmes or JJ on the wing for more height (some of Hunter’s aerial efforts were shoddy at best in round 1). Is Gus a reliable defender against good teams? Can we get away with 3 sub 185cm back flankers? Can we get away with 4 smaller forward flankers none of whom are strong aerialists?

A strong first up effort doesn’t go close to answering any of these queries.

Fully fit and at the peak of demonstrated ability - Hibbo's best is therefore better than Harmes. On this criteria is Melksham better than Spargo? My other thought was Dunstan, is peak Dunstan greater that Sparrow.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
