What do you want to see

With the 2010 season only having 10 games to go plus finals if we make them, what or who would you like to see before the season is out. For me I would love to see the last four games, assuming all are fit, our forward line up like this

Bate Watts Davey

Aussie Jurrah Green

You could add Sylvia in there but I want to see him in the midfield. To me that forward line is exciting.

If you're asking generally...

4 more wins. Not sure who against, and not really bothered. But I reckon if we can get 8+1/2 or 9+1/2 with a big end to the season it'll gain us a lot of respect and have the pundits picking us as playing finals in 2011. Most importantly though, it'll make the fans VERY excited in the off-season, and lead to a big retention of members, and maybe even rope in a lot more.

If we can match that with, conservatively, a 6-4 start or better that'll make a big difference to our bottom line. I can see it happening too... there's a LOT more improvement left in us.

Oh, and one more thing. We play a number of games against teams that, for some odd reason, we've struggled against. Hawthorn, Port and North are 3 I'd like to see us solve some issues against, if not beat. Likewise, if we lose to Richmond or Brisbane (the latter by a large margin), it'll undo a lot of good work we've done this year already. So likewise, if we can just hold them at bay and not get humbled, it'll go a long way to giving me some confidence in our reliability.

One thing I would like to see if we get to Rd 22 and we have had a couple more wins, the following team, for the last game assuming all are fit, just for the bloody fun of it and give the supporters a glimpse

Strauss McNamara Cheney

Morton Grimes McDonald

Scully Gysberts Trengove

Jetta Watts Tapscott

Jurrah Fitzpatrick Bail

Gawn Blease McKenzie

Maric, Bennell, Hughes, Healey

I don't think I have missed anyone and 'Junior' is the perfect captain

Hmmm i like your idea but i wouldn't want to go in without Frawley and Garland in the back-line. They're still young enough to be counted as part of the youth movement.

This is a very interesting idea ... just not convinced an AFL club would have the "balls" to do it.

However, interesting if you look at our draw Rds 16 & 17 ... Would be opportune time Rd 16 Away to Fremantle Rd 17 Home to Sydney

Then we would be looking to have a "Barn-Storming" finish to the year with a rejuvenated rested senior list ... plus the added bonus we would be able to fully evaluate our whole list prior going into a very important draft.

Could well be a short-term sacrifice to seek a long-term gain.

I want to see us finish out of the bottom 4, but to do that we've got to end up with more wins than one of Port, Brisbane, or maybe Essendon or North (and that's assuming Adelaide, WCE and Richmond stay below us). So it'd be more realistic to hope for an amount of wins. Let's say 3-4 more.

I'd love to see us knock off someone considerably higher than us on the ladder (e.g. Hawthorn, St Kilda, Fremantle, even Essendon).

But most of all I want to see the continuing development of the team and the individuals.

Not a bad wishlist Jaded. I wouldn't mind a decent scalp in one of those wins. Maybe St Kilda or Hawthorn if they are getting busy towards the end of the year.

Shouldn't it be ball gets Jamar?

It's reverse, so really Jamared gets ball makes no sense.

I might change mine, the Soviet Russia jokes are pretty funny around my school...maybe, in Soviet Russia, pwned gets Collingwood

- keep getting games into all our young guns

- agree with OP, get our forward line playing together, in particular Watts, Jurrah, Green, Bate and Wona playing games together

- defensive unit continue to develop

- blood some games into Blease and Strauss

I look forward watching the execution of the "game plan" continue to develop, along with the kids.

Would love to see more forward "structure" becoming apparent, particularly with the imminent return of JURRAH and hopefully Aussie & Watts with some good form.

Ideally (edit: realistically?), 3-4 more wins, and two of those against the Bombers and Hawks.

Pretty Accurate.

Give a taste to Tapscott, Fitzpatrick and Blease (if he can get fit in say 8 weeks of solid Scorps work).

See Strauss return at some point.

See Bail overcome his injuries (i think he has a fair amount of talent)

Not convinced re Maric given blokes like Bennell and Jetta in team but probably deserves a shot

And likewise re Cheney (the little red grunt man).

Obviously 3 or 4 more wins but the most important thing is development for the years to come.

I want 5 Flags in succession so that we have 17 in total surpassing both Essendon & Carlton

Whilst this is happening i wish to set a new Home & Away Attendance record of just over 100,000 people.

I want all this to happen while Jim Stynes and his board are at the Helm. B)

Thankyou carry on.....

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
