Half forwards Poyas Miller Crowe

Forwards M Newton Sautner Dunn

if dunn and juice have a better output than milsy then he is in trouble.

good point. but it will be interesting to see how they actually line up and play together. a lot of the talk on demonland has suggested miller and dunn cant both play in the same forward line, particularly when neita is at full forward. swap neita for sauntner and add newton to the mix (perhaps the equivalent of having a robbo in there...)

fwiw it will be interesting to see how mark williams utilises miller. given that we know that sandy play to win, not to develop mfc players, and newton, sautner and dunn are the in form forwards you would think miller would be second choice...

Given Coburg's strength up forward, it wouldn't surprise me to see him line up in defence. Maybe on Kingsley.

Haha, Kingsley... what an inspired move by Terry 'The Tan' Wallace. A complete dud, whos annual Demon demolition prolonged his AFL career :rolleyes: :angry:

miller playing in defence wont help him get back into the dees side. frawley has first dibs on that position, and rightfully so. holland is the clear choice for the gorillas, and i dont think miller would play them that well anyway...

It has taken me a while, but I've finally conceeded that the only way Miller is ever going to be a regular senior player for Melbourne, is if he becomes a full-time defender.

Holland has a year left, probably less.

Frawley is more suited to agile, quick forwards, while Rivers is a CHB.

A backline of: Carroll, Rivers, Frawley, Miller, Bartram and Bell looks quite good on paper. You got 3 players with good pace who can create run, a genius reader of the play, and 2 big "don't mess with me" players.

Of course, this means that Miller will need to do a pre-season with the defenders and really learn that side of the game.

He has shown his ability to defend, and he can punch the ball better than he can mark or kick it.

It is the only way he'll stay a footballer at the MFC. The competition for spots up forward is far greater than it is down back... especially given Miller's lack of natural forward instinct.

Have we got the confirmed final Reserves and Senior Sandringham sides? Due to circumstances beyond my control, I'll be at these games rather than the 'G tomorrow. At least I'll get to watch SOME Demons running around at the very least.

how does wheels not walk into the senior team? what in the world? surely you give him the day off and a week break in between before the next game. if he plays i will be eternally bewildered.

With all due respect, Wrecker when fit has had a bad year, and when brought back from injury, was a liability. Yes he's a champion of the club, but at some point you have to allow for him to be regarded as the kind of player that may need a week in the magoos. It's happened to ooze, it'll happen to Neitz if he relinquishes the captaincy and uns into bad form. It's a bit early for Wheels to fall back to the packin terms of quality, and I'm sure he'll come back better than ever in the next 12 months, but for now...

Also, it doesn't help when you've got Petterd and Bell looking magnificent on the two flanks.

i remember this site went in raptures when we landed Jace Bode! things change....

It did? I think I remember one, maybe two people say he could have gone in the proper draft. Hardly went into raptures though.

If WJ's right then the changes from last week's losing team v North Ballarat are as follows -

IN: Nathan Brown Ben Holland Brad Miller Matthew Whelan Chris Lamb Ezra Poyas Shane Valenti

OUT: Jace Bode Heath Neville Rennie Gilchrist Marc Johnston Tomi Johnston Peter McGettigan Tom Paterakis (all omitted)

Six of the seven "ins" have a wealth of AFL experience, four are on the current MFC list and Valenti is a good chance to be rookied at the end of the year.

Sandy won by about 5 goals...

Miller kicked 6 and should have been more - took some ripper marks.

Newton kicked 2 or 3, also should have been more. He took one really really good mark, and a did a few other decent things before disappearing after half time

Brown was very good down back - Whelan showed his good judgement.

Gallagher is a brilliant footballer.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
