Coach: Kevin Sheedy

Assistant: Neale Daniher

B - Glenn Archer - Darryl Wakelin - Darren Gaspar

HB - Joel Smith - James Clement - Clint Bizzell

C - Scott Camporeale - Nathan Buckley(VC) - Rowan Jones

HF - Byron Pickett - Chris Grant - Anthony Koutoufides

F - Matthew Lappin - Fraser Gehrig - Ben Dixon

R - Luke Darcy - James Hird© - Mark Ricciuto

INT: Richie Vandenberg, Chris Johnson(bris), Aaron Hamill, Paul Licuria

EMG: Andrew Thompson, Nathan D. Brown, Brett Voss

Some of you will disagree with me but imo it looks a good team.

 

that team on its day could have competed against any all australian team of the past decade without a doubt. andrew thompson is a bit stiff for mine, but then again, where do we fit him in? great job. it shows that the afl will be poorer next year for the loss of so much talent...

I'd have hammil on the flank instead of dixon.

I had to choose one or the other. :unsure:


 

that is one damn good team.

however, i would definitely have chris johnson in the starting 18. hes won 3 premierships and i think another 3 or 4 all aussies. i would also have any of the 3 emergencies over rowan jones.

Troy Cook over licuria easily

no Shane Parker

You have got to be kidding me about Troy Cook, he is the biggest dud, he cant even kick 40 metres. All he can do is tackle which isn't good enough to make the team.

About Shane Parker, i had to choose either him or Gaspar. I thought Darren Gaspar had a much more successful career in comparison to Shane Parker.

You're correct about Chris Johnson but i just didn't have anywhere to fit him in.

Get rid of rowan jones......... he is a terrible player. Swap him with Andrew Thompson

Ok guys, some of you seem to hate Rowan Jones so i have changed him with Andrew Thompson.

Thompson is better than Vandenberg IMHO.

Pagan would be justified in feeling aggreived at being rated below ND.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

  • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
