There's plenty of discussion about this at the moment. Might have to re do the poll just before the new season starts.

 

9 wins. You wait.

Your poll says "Round 22, 2009"

My prediction is 8 wins.

As in done just after Round 22, 2009.

The next poll can be done just before Round 1 2010.


With a good run of injuries we will finish in the top 8, around 5-8.

With a bad run, just outside, 10-12.

If the coaches box hadn't have been pulling on the reins this year we would have had 6 or 7 wins.

Exactly my thoughts AJ.

The reins were pulled hard despite an extreme injury list. We are building skill, pace and depth.

Some may say threatening the finals in 2010 as over the top, but I for one believe this is possible.

However, I will be satisfied with any significant improvement!

Had we not had to tank this year,we would have won 6-7 games.

With a reasonable run with injuries,i would expect a minimum of 7 and a maximum of 10.

To think we have to wait 6 months,it's killing me!!!

 

I think many are a little too optimistic. 5-6wins many losses by tiny margins.

I think to be successful we need to win interstate. I think we could beat Sydney, Fremantle and Port both home and away, if we play well enough. This is where DB will make or break the season. I believe we're yet to win interstate (as the away team) under his reign...

I expect success in this area in 2010.


11-12.

I think we're a better team than we showed for much of the year (largely due to injuries and the system).

We were coming along leaps and bounds in the first 9 rounds and with further improvement from Davey and Sylvia, with the return of Grimes and Garland, with Jurrah getting a pre season I can see us winning 7-8 matches next year.

Funnily enough, that would've gone close to finals this year.

With a good run of injuries we will finish in the top 8, around 5-8.

With a bad run, just outside, 10-12.

If the coaches box hadn't have been pulling on the reins this year we would have had 6 or 7 wins.

To finish in the top 8 next year we will need to knock out another team. The top 5 teams this year will be there next year, carlton brisbane and essendon are all young teams that will improve next year. Throw into the mix hawthorn and there is not much space there for the melbourne footy club. I like your optimism but i think were a couple of years away. Its still nice to dream though and sometime soon one might just come true.

I think we can win 10 games next year. Like has been said, we could have won 7 this year, but what would it have achieved?


I chose 7-8 but it is quite possible that 9-10 is achievable

We as a team or individually are not ready for finals

11-12.

Wow that's optimistic :o Maybe for 2011.

We can't play interstate. We can't play at Etihad Stadium. We've won just 5 games between 2007-09 against VIC clubs.

6 or 7 wins seems about right.

no point in this until we see the fixture

Knowing the AFL, this would probably end up being something resembling the Dees home fixture:

Rd 2 - V's St Kilda MCG - Sunday 1:10pm Foxtel

Rd 5 - V's North Melb, MCG - Sunday 2:10pm Ch 7

Rd 8 - V's W Bulldogs, Etihad - Sunday 1:10pm Foxtel

Rd 9 - V's Sydney - Manuka - Sunday 1:10pm Foxtel

Rd 12 - V's Port Adelaide, Darwin - Saturday 7:10pm Foxtel

Rd 13 - V's West Coast, Etihad - Sunday 1:10pm Foxtel

Rd 15 - V's Adelaide, MCG - Saturday 2:10pm Ch 10

Rd 17 - V's Brisbane, MCG - Sunday 2:10pm Ch 7

Rd 18 - V's Hawthorn, MCG - Sunday 1:10pm, Foxtel

Rd 20- V's Richmond, MCG - Sunday 4:40pm, Foxtel

Rd 21 - V's Fremantle - MCG - Sunday 1:10pm, Foxtel

I'm expecting us to get royally screwed by the AFL:

- No more Q b'day V Collingwood

- No home games V's Carlton, Collingwood or Essendon

- 2 home games at Etihad - in lieu of North and Carlton playing more home games at the G

The Team must first learn how to play together with so many new young faces, & then learn to WIN not just at the MCG but all around Australia.

PHASE 2................. I still beleive position 8 is attainable next year.

This year Carlton, Essendon, Sydney,Brisbane & even Hawthorn at times while all fighting for those last spots, all looked fairly average.

With a tough pre season this club can lift. Depends how much it really wants to...


i would think 5 -8 be good

but hope for 8 - 10

5 wins would be a fail imo.

6 probably just a pass.

Hoping for 7-9 would probably be realistic.

Your poll says "Round 22, 2009"

My prediction is 8 wins.

If you read more carefully it says 'Prediction after Round 22, 2009'.

I'm thinking 8 wins also.

Cheers

 

Must win a minimum of 8.

Must definitely improve on this year.

Players have to commit to at least improve their results, as a group.

Without any of this happening 2010 would be classified as a failure.

These are realistic, achievable targets and could infact be surpassed.

2010 - regaining respect !!!

i would think 5 -8 be good

but hope for 8 - 10

I'll tip 10 wins.We are going to improve simply with the infusion of more youth. ( Watts, Blease, Strauss, Scully, Trengrove/Butcher, Wonna). Look how well we played when the reins were off eg Dockers, for Jimmy and the first half against the Saints. The commentators were praising Bailey as a coach during the St Kilda game. They said that his coaching was blending the Dees into a very competitive side. I think we must agree that our kicking and passing has improved greatly in the last eight weeks. We can move the ball beautifully when we TRY.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

  • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
