break out year?

Featured Replies

Posted

ok so this year the big break out player was obviously James Frawley. the kid will be a gun full back!

Col Sylvia also finally stepped up and Grimes showed what he can do but i'm expecting next year to be his break out year.

Who's going to come to the party next year?

My tip is for Morton to become a super star next year. Huge break out year for Cale.

anyone else?

 

I'm looking forward to seeing Sylvia and Moloney working in tandem this year in the centre. Really want to see them take the next step.

Also hoping that Col stays on the straight and narrow and gets to play the full 22 without any disciplinary issues...

I wish Football season wasn't so far away...

 

M.Newton.....

I've given up on this bloke.

I'm not usually down on players, but I saw him play in the game against Richmond, and he was insipid.

Every time he got his hands on the ball, a turnover ensued.

Such a waste of time and resources.

Last year I was happy to see him play if it meant improvement. But we got little, so I'm happy to burn him now.

he will kick 30+ Goals next year,

he will kick 30+ Goals next year,

I'll beleive it when I see it...


1. Jurrah

2. Jetta

3. Bennell

4. Maric

Liam Jurrah hands down. He will be a superstar.

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo excited.

The Michael Jordan of the AFL.

From left field, I'd have a couple of dollars on Jetta.

A solid pre-season in the gym and on the track could seriously elevate him up a few levels.

He definately has the smarts, he just needs his body to mature and be able to run out games and bust a gut.

The exact same thing could be said for Jamie Bennell.

I also highly rate Addam Maric.

I expect big things from him in 2010.

He has everything going for him...pace, smarts, clean skills.

Add strength and endurance and he will be a serious player.

And gees i love Grimes.

Bring on 2010!!!

PS Please be patient with Jack Watts, he has a lot of filling out to do. He will be the best of them all.

i reckon these boys will stand up next year Grimes, Morton, Jurrah, Petterd, and my smoky is Strauss.

I'm also a big fan of maric, but i reckon we will see patches of what he can offer, i reckon his break out year will be in 2011.

I'm thinking that maybe this will be the year of Matthew Bate......for some reason people rate him kinda low....he will be an awesome foil for Watts and may be the reason Miller was only contracted for 1 year.


Matthew Bate will be all Australian next year.

Sylvia needs to have a big year, we have so many players that will improve but one that will stand out is Nathan Jones, he gets his hands on the footy at stoppages, a little more strength to stand in tackles and off load I can see him be a dominate clearance player.

Stefan Martin. AA.


Watts. May not dominate but will at least show why he was no.1

Sylvia will dominate next year. The blokes a freak. He's my tip for the major break out.

Jurrah is a wizard as we all know, so who knows what the hell he's capable of.

We'll see improvement from Watts, but the best is still a few years down the track.

Oh, how the future is bright :lol:

 

I think Morton will step up and be top-3 for us. I really hope he does. I quite frankly think he has been over-rated to this point in his career. He is going to be very good, and hopefully that is what he will be next year.

Davey to be in the All-Australian 40-man squad.

Sylvia to rip a handful of games open and get 30+ touches 4-5 times.

Jurrah to kick 50 goals.

Strauss, Watts, Scully and Trengove to get Rising-Star nominations. (Sorry, I know nothing about Blease or picks 11 and 18 at the moment.)

Matthew Bate to kick 40 goals and become one of our top-10 players.

Frawley to go close to All-Australian squad selection.

Grimes to get 8 Brownlow votes.

Addam Maric is my bet

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • 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.

  • 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.
