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

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

  • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

  • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
