6 wins minimum. LOTS of close games though...

Could snaffle as many as ten.

What's more important though is to consider that eyes will be on Dean. The improvement HAS to be seen... and obviously it really does require a specific set of requirements.

If he plays all teenagers, then expect a lot more of what we saw this year. If he allows the 23ish guys to play 22 games, then maybe a bit more.

Don't kid yourselves though. We haven't even recruited the last 3rd of our core yet. There's a LOT more work to do just yet.

We can move the ball beautifully when we TRY.

That should read... when we're GIVEN ROOM.

True enough though. For those handful of quarters, many of the coming in the last 8 rounds, we looked EASILY like a top 8 side with our movement.

I think while there's a flag up for grabs we'll see a bit of roughness in the first half of the season. And like this year, when things settle and players tire a bit, we'll see the younger guys come to the fore, and sneak perhaps 3 in a row?

I'm pumped. I'm more pumped about this coming year than I was going into 2007 (when everyone thought we were a flag chance).

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.

Did you actually read my post?

If we win less than 8 Bailey's arse will be on the line. I think at least 8 to 10 wins is realistic providing we are not hard hit by injuries.

We are definately on the improve but at the moment with some of our young players we look good when given space. When we start striging wins together the space will be cut down and we will be foound out purely because our players are too skinny. One Pre-Season will not fix this so I am tipping 6 wins hopefully 1 or 2 more but until our skinny players bulk up we wont be a force. That said I am very confident of our players being able to do this and look forward to the mighty dees up and at em again.

Being realistic I'd say probably 9-10th. Still a lot of development to go, but if we finish anything lower than that it will be quite a disappointment. If we just sneak into the 8, then even better. We can get some finals experience into the young blokes. However, I think we will just miss out.

If we were to get out of the bottom 4 with 6-10 wins, I'd be happy with that. However, if there was minimal injuries to our key players, plus 20-30 goals from both Sylvia and Bate, maybe even 15-25 goals from Watts, we could sneak into the 8. Very optimistic though.

I'm tipping 10 wins, we'll catch a lot of teams by suprise. Oh how I'd love to play Essendon round 1 and win...

Sucks we have to wait 6 months, but at least it cant be spent bulking up the kids.

    The tough on baller won his second Keith 'Bluey' Truscott Trophy in a narrow battle with skipper Max Gawn and Alex Neal-Bullen and battled on manfully in the face of a number of injury niggles.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    The premiership defender had his best year yet as he was given the opportunity to move into the midfield and made a good fist of it.

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning. Joy all round, they look like they want to be there.  21 in the squad.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #18 Jake Melksham

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188
