I picked us to beat Carlton and Collingwood (on QB), but that's more wishful thinking than a realistic prospect.

So 8 wins it is.

This year's draftees will struggle to win rising star as Hurley, Watts and Ziebel are all still eligible.

If skully plays more than 12 games he will win the rising star for 2010. he reminds me of a former Fitzroy great - Gary Wilson. Similar build. Terrific 'blink and miss' hand skills. This kid can catch arrows in mid air.

Put me down for 8 wins next year.

Would be looking for 8 to 10 wins, anything less than 8 would be a disapointment, we could have easily won 6 this year.

This year's draftees will struggle to win rising star as Hurley, Watts and Ziebel are all still eligible.

True, although I think Ziebell in the greatest threat of those three.

It'd be great if Watts won it, but I think Ziebell and Trengove are the favourites.

I think we will all be very surprised with how many wins we will have in 2010.
In 2008 we had many thumping losses, in 2009 we still lost games but we had VERY FEW blow outs and a few games were just lost. i recall watching the game against the dogs, we were quite impressive and disappointing to lose by the 2 goals. And the Geelong game (you know where ablett kicked the goal in the first 2 seconds), even though we lost by 40 odd, the boys looked like they were working well. Just my thoughts..

I think 7-10 games look likely, I'm hoping 10, that way we can play finals..

very good post, you can say exactly the same thing about the Saints game r22, the final result looks very average but the facts are these were the top two sides and we more than matched it with both of them for long periods in each match. What we saw was our kids eventually being run down by more experienced and developed sides... as we go on the bulk of the side is just getting better and better

Definitely expecting to jag a couple of wins off some top sides and also to demolish a couple

December 22, 200915 yr

Interesting to see the numbers for each game.

I've put us down for wins on a couple of games that are really only maybes, so the number of games tipped is higher than the 7-8 I think we'll win. My votes:

Richmond

North Melbourne

West Coast

Port Adelaide

Essendon 50-50

Fremantle

Sydney 50-50

Richmond

Port Adelaide

North Melbourne

The games against Essendon and Sydney I regard as 50-50 because there is no way to know how they will look next year. Both have had some very significant changes to their lists and could well find themselves struggling, especially towards the end of the year when injuries take their toll. If their new-look forward lines work out, they may well still prove too strong for us, but if they don't I think we can take both sides.

December 22, 200915 yr

It'll be interesting to see how much missing Brock effects us this year.

I've just started thinking the last couple of days, that we could miss his experience and leadership in the middle this season.

Don't get me wrong, I still think we're on the improve, but when we miss one of our better midfielders it's a blow.

December 22, 200915 yr

Realisticaly I think 5-8 is possible and on a side note I think Tappscott will be the jumper for this year with his big boot and body I thinkk he will be leading the way as far as our boys are concerned and if he gets enough games could easily get the rising star award

December 22, 200915 yr

The great thing is that there's four legitimate chances for the Rising Star award in Watts, Scully, Trengove and Tappy.

North Melbourne.

This would leave us with 9 wins.

45% of pollsters believe we will win 7-8 games compared with 31% who voted for 9-10

At least 50% of pollsters believe we will finish above:

Fremantle

North Melbourne

Port Adelaide

Richmond

This would leave us in 12th.

7-10 wins and a finish of 10th-13th sounds about right to me. Hopefully with a good run of injuries and some good form we can make the most of our home games early on and make a run from there.

AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

CASEY: Williamstown

The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking. We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

REPORT: Collingwood

It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
