If Chandler is fit he comes in and replaces Sparrow and Howes becomes the sub, but ATM Langdon and Billings have to play the small forward role.

Makes sense, Billings would need to play pressure forward and connector. He has looked great at training. Historically a very poor shot for goal.

if this forms the bulk of our team for the bulk of the year and we hit September fit then the Flag is a distinct possibility. I’ve bonded those that can either go through the middle or can run all day or both.

  • petty will be in the back tall trio not plugger mac
  • rivers is a mid rotation
  • windsor will take his role at half back
  • spargo is unlkely to be fit

honestly, it's like they have NO IDEA what a team is looking like during pre-season training?

fox sports is almost as lazy as zero hanger these days

Foll: Gawn Oliver Viney
Int: Tracc, Langford, fwd/mid, half back

Half back: Bowey vs Howes vs Hore

Wing: Lindsay vs Woey vs other

Fwd/mid: Sparrow vs Laurie 

Do we go an extra tall?

Do we slide Windsor back to the wing so we get the height of Howes and keep Bowey in the side?

Do we roll Sharp or Langdon to the wing to open up another tall or medium forward?

Not sure how McAdam could go as a sub due to him only being a forward

 

I would leave that option for a versatile player like Johnson imo

 

McAdam should get first crack while Kozzy and Throstup are out

Howes is a more flexible choice as defender ( plays on smalls and talls) but  AMW could also be sub and play back or forward also.

wwsw - I was of the impression that McVee and Tholstrup have been ill / injured and won’t be ready for round 1, and of course Kozzie will miss thanks to Darcy Moore for legging him last round.

I think I'm going to put some coin on Casey to win the flag, that's a ridiculously strong VFL team.

more thinking 'best available in 2025' - hence why only mcadam was excluded from this narrative

there is, of course, a separate and different rd 1, 2025, thread for werridee to change and adjust accordingly as required

They’ll use the ball well when they get it but that lineup would get terrorised by Daniels, Greene, Stringer (and Bedford and a mobile Hogan). Howes will be in a more accountable role in lieu of Judd. Probably Rivers back there too for the Giants.

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom
