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 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.

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?

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...

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.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
