I like your effort Virgin Dog though I think Hannan will sneak into the side. He's largely been played when fit over the past few years and he offers run and defencive effort.

Who he replaces will be interesting. We can use Darcy back, so I reckon it'll be Bruce.

F: West Naughton Lobb
R: English Bont Macrae


I/C Treloar, Darcy, Bruce, Williams and Sub Hannan

No JJ? I think one of JJ or Hannan goes in now that Arty and Flea have been ruled out. It's not ideal that they haven't featured in the recent practice game/s but the optionS are bare DUE TO OUR LACK OF GENUINE SMALL FORWARDS

I have Hannan as the sub. I just don't know if JJ is match ready, but agree should be in if fit.

If Melbourne have Brown, Gawn/ Grundy, McDonald & Fritsch up front how are you matching them up?

[Grantysghost]

Ok my crack at the team for Rd 1 after pre season.

Daniel Keath Jones
Richards Bruce Dale
Williams Macrae Baker
Smith Naughton Treloar
Darcy Lobb Marra


English Bontempelli Liberatore

Sub West.

IC Hannan McLean Scott Duryea

Keath to Brown
Jones to Fritsch (he generally was playing on a smallish player v norf)
Bruce to McDonald.

Edit : JJ or Hannan toss a coin.

Darcy would have to play back

[Mantis]

Darcy would have to play back

Why? You have selected Bruce so I'm assuming he plays back... interested on who you have him playing on.

Caleb on Gawndy?

[Hotdog60]

Caleb on Gawndy?

Is that what usually happens

[Grantysghost]

Caleb on Gawndy?

Shoot - um er... Difficult bloody match ups hey. I'm feeling for the defenders here, highlights how important the midfield battle will be especially for us as I rate the Demons backs higher than ours, especially when Gawn can sit back there too.

Richards to Fritsch, but I want to free up Jones.

Ok Jones can mark the resting ruck and run off to intercept. Going to need a team effort down there though.

[Happy Days]

I can play on Brown if need be.

[Grantysghost]

I can play on Brown if need be.

Haha - problem is he always Sideshow BOBS up and snags a couple of important goals
