Well we now know the makeup of about 90 % of our players, and that list aint at all too shabby !!! Not perfect... far from the sieve some of us may have described the list not so many years back !!

Now...

Where do we put everyone ?? This qustion would be far easier answered in 09..when two things happen...1...we know more about those we just recruited in AFL terms...and 2 We know who will for what ever reason have played their last ( or likely last ) game for the Red and Blue .

Given that not everyone is going to get a start in 08.. but also the predisposition already announced by the new chiefs that players will progress sooner rather than later ( as in past ) , who goes where ??

Im now going out.. I expect 10 good attempts when I get back..lol.

seriously.. i've alredy given myself a headache thinking about this.. there are some fairly easy slots..and some with a few vying for the jumper.

Oh happy days

Roll on 2008 !!!!!!!!!!!

Emergency- Simon Buckley, Chris Johnson, Paul Johnson

depth- Ben Holland, Warnock, Jamar

developing- Cale Morton, Jack Grimes, Addam Maric, Tom McNamara, Kyle Cheney, Colin Garland, Weetra

That's our entire list-

We've really strengthened our midfield this draft with Grimes and Morton. Kyle Cheney could be a running half back flanker. Maric will fill our need for a small forward, giving davey help and releasing davey to the wing.

i expect the big improvers in 2008 to be Colin Sylvia moving permanently into the midfield, Colin Garland to be a dozen games as a 3rd tall backman and Matthew Bate to continue his development as a star hard working, goal kicking CHF.

Well if Meesen is impressive enough in pre-season to take the number 1 ruck spot then I will be a happy man

But you dont just hand it to him if White is still the best option come round 1

F: P.JOHNSON, HOLLAND, MARIC

FOLL: JAMAR, GRIMES,

Can't complain about getting the best player at the under 18's championships I would think Morton would fit straight into our side.

I hope Grimes is more of a midfielder than halfback, we have problems with both areas so it probably doesn't matter.

Maric is the type of player we need to help out Davey that has almost signalled an end to Sampi's career, I think we need to go for a midfielder or key forward in the PSD Sampi is neither and his knee problem can't be helping him and CAC doesn't sound to keen on him.

I would doubt that there would be any good key forward's under 23 in the PSD so that leaves midfielders, maybe Ryley Dunn can get another go. Connelly would know him better than anyone and must have seen something in him to have picked him so high a few years ago.

McNamara's height worries me and no one has said anything about Cheney's running ability we are desperate for a small backman who is quick can link up and use the ball well.

The 3rd tall backman worries me I think Frawley should be the favorite for the spot but he really hasn't done anything to suggest that he can play that position, Miller is probably next in line and I hope for our sake Miller doesn't hardly play a game for us cause he is useless and we should have got rid of him when we had the chance.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
