Rivers XXXX Frawley

Whelan Caroll Bell

White(maybe) Jones Bate

Int: Pettard Dunn Mcdonald(just) Johnson

Retired: Neitz Pickett Yze Brown Holland Ward Bizzel

Delisted: Godfrey Jamar Bode Hughes

Players that may be there: C Johnson, Buckley, Juice, Bartram, Molonry(depending on body), Garland, Hayes, Weetra

Fringe players Wheatley, Ferggy, Neaves

We clearly have the beginning of a great starting 22, and some good depth players, but just look at CHF, and CHB. Thats what we need to work on.

 
 
OVER MY DEAD BODY BRENNAN

you've named two centre half backs on the flanks and left the CHB position vacant. why dont u place rivers or frawley CHB and put in wheatley, pettard or buckley in the flanks.

basically, anyone can manipulate the team like you've done.

in terms of CHF, miller and Bate are both CHFs, why dont u put them in there.

imo, our two main concerns for team 2009 are fullforward post Neitz and the ruck post white.

the ruck position is improving with PJ, neaves and 2 ruckman to be drafted at years end...we should be alright.

for fullforward, we either have to draft one, or hope newton comes on. thats the worry, not CHB (rivers) and CHF (bate/miller)

Daneil Wells... Out of contract... injury riddled?

there was some small talk last year.... i would love this to happen..

IMO judd and wells must be targeted HEAvily

We clearly have the beginning of a great starting 22, and some good depth players, but just look at CHF, and CHB. Thats what we need to work on.

1. You've got three talls in the backline. Why would you want another at CHB? Shift Frawley or Rivers to CHB and put Bartram on a HBF. No way will a fit Bartram not be in our 2009 best 22.

2. The hardest spot to fill will be FF. We'd better hope Newton comes through, or Miller learns to kick.

3. Shift Bate to CHF and put Moloney on the bench. He's also in our best 22.

4. Neaves won't necessarily just be fringe, if White retires end 2008 Neaves could be filling the role Johnson plays now, or he could even be first ruck.

5. McDonald could well be another retiree by end of 2008. He's nearly 31 now. BTW, he'll finish 2007 on 199 games.

6. Why delist Godfrey, just for the sake of it? He's doing a great tagging role now, is at least depth, and he's only 26. As an aside, Godfrey will play his 100th game in three weeks, against the Bombers.

7. I wouldn't give up on Bode or Hughes any more than Hayes.

8. Wheatley showed his value in the last few games.

9. Can't see Ferguson not being delisted by 2009.

Bate has been great at CHF the past 3-4 weeks, he look smore comfortable with the role he is currently playing, as I call it the Ryan O'Keefe CHF type player. WE have 4 tall forwards Dunn, Miller, Garland and Newton on our list, Miller should be pushed back to defense to play the current Dutchy role on the monster tall forwards, that deepends on Frawleys physical development, if he gets like his Uncle Frawley will play this role.

Will Whelans body allow him to be playing in 2009, Bartram would be in that back pocket. White will not be first ruck either, hopefully PJ can continue to improve and take this role. With White second ruck or even FP with Robbo at FF

  • 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.

  • 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?
