With 3 talls and Fritsch forward and 5 mids (Viney, Tracc, Oliver, Riv, Langdon) I think we need to start both Sharp and Lindsay on the wings and Henderson across half forward.

Langford is the sub for mine.

You need a plan for Lachie Whitfield and co that isn’t serving up a one paced 19 year old midfielder at half forward on debut.

you forgot sparrow

    How many of the debutants will kick goals? Jeffo definitely.

    He might, but in the match meeting did anyone else get a sense of real cameraderie at Jeffo's debut announcement!

    That’s just 11 players who represented the club in our last AFL premiership outing! Bring it on! (Round 25 1994)

    I'm struggling to find the high half forward who is going to run the corridor defence to Forward and back again (ANB role).   I guess it has to be Sparrow.  Sharp has the tank but not really hard enough in defence.

    Really. WOW. 

     Sharp is faster, good endurance, and better kicking skills than ANB.

    What we will miss from ANB is that gut running and his leadership qualities.

    The average age of Sunday's listed players - 25.5 - is over 2.5 years younger than the team Collingwood fielded against GWS last weekend (28.2). There are 15 players under 28, and 8 over. 

    • Under 23: 8 players
    • 23 to 27: 7
    • 28 to 29: 5 (Fritsch, Lever, Langdon, Petracca, Salem)
    • Over 30: 3 (Viney, May, Gawn)

    This is close to the perfect balance IMHO. (Maybe less U/23 and more 23 to 27 if we're winning premierships)

    They announced it last !
    Made him work for it.

    Agree a great vibe when he was announced.

    This speaks to the idea of change in the club, faith shown in the recruits and a chance for us to be very different than last year.

    Yes and no. 3 of those changes have been forced through the unavailability of Kozzie, McVee and Thostrup, all of whom would have certainly been playing, plus probably Turner. Not to mention the departure of ANB, without even considering Melksham and Spargo, both injured/not ready.

    Not quite the radical shakeup, we actually have a lot of injuries and are just covering them.

    Not complaining either, but not sure how many of these debutantes will be able to hold their spots once the regulars are available.

    Not a huge fan of how many debutants we have. It smacks a bit of desperation, though admittedly I've not seen much from anyone who is debuting.

    That’s quite amazing 3 years later.

    I’m sorry about the way I phrased that… I meant in our last game for points! Oh hell, our last game!

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress. The Lions are licking their wounds after a shock draw in Tasmania last week, while Melbourne’s season hangs in the balance. Can the Dees defy the odds and pull off a miracle to keep their razor thin finals hopes alive?

    • NON-MFC: Round 10

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
