Players on the fringe

well all i can say the last couple of weeks, the team we have at the moment are all playing there best

which players not in, can fit back into the teram

players like cj,dunn,warnock,jamar,brown,ferguson,miller etc

yze,pickett,bartram, whelan,rivers will slot in when back from injury, but what about the others?

 
 

we are not going to make finals realistically. we will stumble somewhere. lets get real.

if we were clever we would start preparing for next year. that doesnt mean that we dont go out and try to win every game.

but it does mean

a) we start deciding the players who wont be there next year and dont play them again

3 definites who are gawn are jamar, neville, and and ferguson. do not play them again. hard decision to be made on N.Brown, C.Johnson, Pickett and miller. if decide one isnt going to be here next year then do not play them again

B) decide which youngster will feature heavily next season and play them regularly. do not drop them unless they are terribly out of form.

pettard, frawley, sylvia, jones, bate, PJ, Bartram, Newton and Buckley should all play regularly.

a guy like frawley wil not be good next season if he doesnt play this season. experience is important get it into them.

c) if we need guyz in certain possisions next yr, play them there. e.g. if miller if neaded to play against the gorrillas, then play him against them. if frawley is intended as a key position, give him a go

The following aren't in our best 22 -

Ferguson - can't see him playing in '08

Jamar - will be a beneficiary of our lack of ruck stocks if he's on the list next year...I'd be happy to delist him

Brown - on the wrong side of 30...have enjoyed watching him at times but his time is limited

Miller

Warnock - probably has one more year but probably not going to be a regular AFL footballer

CJ - but I would like him given opportunities if his form is good enough; probably has another year up his sleeve though

The five you've mentioned are in our best squad as well as Moloney - and Dunn's in the mix too.

the only thing with moloney is he has only played 13 games since 2005 and seems to be very injury prone

For sure, Moloney's fitness woes have been pretty disappointing.

When he's up and about I think he's vying for a spot in our best team but the last game I saw him play he was virtually running on the spot.

Rivers, Yze, Molpney, Bartram, and Pickett all ery important to us

We will get most of them back after the break then will make a massive FInals run

while i think its great to have hope for the finals, we realistically will not make it this season.

we should just focus on winning the majority of matches and developing a youthful starting 22 that plays a good brand of footy so that we can have an assualt of 2008

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

    It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
