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?

    I voted 9-10.

    That's great news! Since you won the footy tipping High Tower we can count on your prediction. Hope you are right though.

    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.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
