Position 8, That is what the Club as a whole should be aiming for.

Our team will still be under valued & to some degree & unknown to the other 15 sides.

Early Foxtel games will help us to stay just under that Radar-that is a real Bonus.

"The Darkest Hour is just before the Dawn"

You're right. None of the other AFL clubs will know anything about us because they don't have Foxtel and so will never see our games. ;)

Now, if we could only cancel their newspaper deliveries.........

    They've probably all got Merv Hughes as forward scout.

    I voted 8th

    11 wins for the seasons

    After Bails put games into the young blokes last year I am expecting a lot more. No more testing players out in different positions I want (and expect) more wins from a much more experienced side. I believe we will be about as good as the Essendon of last year. With all players fit I think our forwards should be able to kick more goals and our defense will consolidate to be stronger each week(we were becoming much better by the end of last year). As with many of you I feel our midfield is a little weak, Sylvia was playing great but really was the only one.

    With more wins comes more confidence I dont think 8th position is a great stretch.

    13th - top of the bottom four slops bracket but much improved.

    (Any of Freo, Port, Richmond and North to be 12th and 14-16)

    It's 4.47am. I can't sleep. I'm watching the replay of the Melbourne - Freo match at the 'g - 2008. Oh God we are awful. With 4 minutes to go in the 2nd Q we are 50 points down. The really sad thing is the number of turnovers on the ground and the lack of turnovers on the list. I think there's only 5 players who are no longer with the club.

    The 4 guys who are supposed to be the future of our backline - Frawley, Rivers, Garland, and Warnock. There are all there.

    The midfield and the kids who will will be on our list in 3-5 years - Jones, Moloney, Morton, Wanna, Davey. All there.

    The 3 wise men - Macca, Bruce and Green.

    And Bate and Jamar. I know we see a lot of potential in these players, but le's not get ahead of ourselves.

    13th.

    5.51am. We've hit the front!!! I've changed my mind. 12th.

    One interesting thing. Big difference in body shape with some of the players. Warnock and Frawley have muscled up.

    I would be expecting 8 wins in 2010 which should put us at around 11-12. Any more will be a bonus. The team is still young and they will tire during a long season. The beltings should be fewer but the performances should be better across the Board

    But the numbers of wins would be a truer reflection of how we will see the year going because ladder position depends on 15 other teams' wins and losses. Not too difficult to understand.

    I'm expecting around 8-9 wins, which I assume would be around the 10th-12th mark.

    Agree with the 45's view on number of wins.

    The are some fantasy's out there.

    14th Would be a steady improvement, anything better would be a surpise.

    14th would be an underachievement IMHO :angry:

    I've surprised by the increase that some people expect next year.

    Whilst the club will definitely improve, it's a big ask to expect us to make finals next year.

    I think we'll finish 13th, with 10th being the absolute best result I can realistically see.

    well to be fair only 14% have tipped a finals berth, and that includes a few heroes who are just too hardcore to let a poll tell them what to do and be honest

    you'd have to say 11th is about the average... which is 9.4 wins on average the last 5 years (8,10,10,9,10)

    the other thread has the overwhelmingly majority saying 7-10 wins

    I don't think these numbers are getting too carried away when you consider we won 4 last year but lost 5 matches by 3 goals or less, had some bad injury luck and this year a better fixture with some new talent coming in and a host of young guns (and a young coach) bound to improve, not to mention our intent to win might be a little higher if you know what I mean

    If we can turn 3 of those 5 into wins, then it's a good result. I'd love to see 10 wins, but I think that's wishful thinking.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
