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.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
