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?

    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

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
