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!

    Inspired but he Tigers win based upon youth and speed !  Lots a new players, hopefully this mix of experience and youth gives us the drive we need.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
