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.

Not sure they can play all of JVR, Turner, Jeffo and Johnson in the one side PF


Looks like a good round 1 side.  Pick last years team except for the boom recruit.

If you fellas dont perfrom then the kids get selected.

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

 


FB: Petty May McVee
HB: Windsor Lever Salem
C; Billings Rivers Wing2
HF: Sharp JVR Langdon 
FF: Chandler Turner Fritsch
Foll: Gawn Oliver Viney
Int: Tracc, Langford, fwd/mid, half back
S: McAdam

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

McVee now out for an extended period

AMW takes his spot

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.

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
