Syvia XXXX Green

Bruce Mclean Johnstone

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)

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

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
