This year it was Lynden Dunn, Mark Jamar, Clint Bartram and Ricky Petterd (well it looked like he had taken the nxt level at the start of the year before being injured) who broke out in 2010. So who's it going to be in 2011??

For me it will be adamm maric, many on this site don't rate this bloke but I'm one of the very few who see a lot of talent in this kid, others that i think will kick on in 2011 will be bail, watts, spencer, morton n i reckon tapscott will be a gun from game 1, ala scully, trengove, grimes, gysberts, jurrah.

thoughts?

Exactly like I said last year - Morton, Maric and maybe Strauss.

I just often tend to be a year early.

Tapscott, Watts, Blease for me. Players that need to would be Bate, Wonna, Strauss, Jetta and Maric. Those five really need to show that they are pregressing to the next level...Some people might think that's harsh on Bate, but there is going to be alot of competition for the forward line if Watts, Green, Petterd, Jurrah and possibly a mature age recruit are all fit. Newton goes without saying...last chance.

Roughy is McNamara. (if re-rookied)

I think:

Scully - after a full pre seasson he will be an endurance freak

Watts - Not expecting 100 goals, maybe 20 - 10. Who knows they may play him up the ground more until he fill out but either way i think he will be something special.

Jurrah - Can see him kicking 50 goals for the year

Sylvia - Injury free, conistant eason

Gysberts - Could he be our J. Selwood?

Bail - He will cement his spot

With so much talent on our list this is really the 'impossible question'. However I'll have a stab and say Rohan Bail. To me he has all the attributes to be a very good footballer (good size, pace, endurance, balance, smarts and sound skills) and with Bruce's departure, there's a regular senior spot beckoning. As a #64 draft pick two years ago, it could be a 'breakout' to rival that of some of our higher (more fancied) draft picks. My only concern is that Rohan seems to suffer a few too many injuries, but fingers crossed, they are mostly in the past.

I know its not really in the spirit of the question but I can only answer it with one word:

Melbourne

The team will gel and really start to work. As DOF theres just too much talent.

Melbourne , as a team , will be the breakout of 2011. Will surprise a few ;)

Bail and Garland to take the next step and Sylvia to be top 10 in the Brownlow

I think you maybe correct re your first part re Bail & Garland but Coljoy- don't know about that-however with Bruce gone ,this is the year to dominate

Well its not quite "break out" but I really think Sylvia is gonna take it up this year again to be one of the best in the comp. Not even a bad punt for brownlow early on

yer agree with this, mite put a bit of coin on col for top 5 or top 10

cmon you forgot our biggest break out in 2010. James Frawley!

thought chip 'broke out' in 2009 rather than this year where he instead took his game to the elite level, guess u cud still make a case for him then, ah well.

Scully will be huge. Will improve further to become one of the best mids in the comp. We will be drooling for the entire season, and there will be talk of brownlow form. I expect that he wont win it though. Top 5 finish, but he will claim it in 2012 to go alongside his premiership medal. :)

I'm thinking Jack Vinney will be our Joel Selwood, icing on the cake in our premiership year?

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
