If you could have one realistic wish for the Dees' this year (other than a premiership or Tom Scully signing), what would it be?

I'd want to see us win a final.

    Yeah, this one.

    Watts to kick 4+ goals in a couple of games.

    Jurrah to play out the full 22 rounds and boot 60+ goals - ah what the hell... also want him to win the Coleman AND mark of the year AND goal of the year.

    -Jim Stynes in full remission

    -One finals appearance

    -6 blokes (up from 3 last year) in the All-Australian squad of 40-odd (Sylvia, Frawley, Jamar, Davey, Jurrah, Grimes who knows)

    -Even more young guns to emerge from the list (Blease, Tapscott, Cook, Howe etc) our enemies will start to get exceptionally nervous if that happens

    -Further increase in membership and attendances bringing us close to league average

    -Another financially profitable year

    -Wins against top sides and wins interstate and at Etihad

    -More arrogance from Bailey

    not asking for much :D

    Be in top 4 for lowest scored against

    Be in top 8 for goals for

    Watts & Jurrah show the start of a special 10 year forward line understanding

    Sylvia for the Bluey, Brownlow, and hey maybe even the Norm Smith

    10 wins in a row somewhere during the season, preferably in the back half though, storming towards september 1987 style!

    No more serious injuries to our top 12 players. If we get through the season relatively injury free our performance expectations will likely be met.

    To Beat Carlton.

    The team that started all this tanking rot by cheating us out of the priorty pick round 22 2007 and it has plagued us ever since.

    We are rising so knocking them off would be ever so sweet.

    Yeah , Stynsey coming good would be awesome .

    Spank Collingwood .... In a final .

    All of the above and the AFL to step in say that NO CLUB can poach a player until he has at least 5 years with his club that first signed him unless they cannot mutually agree. And that NO PLAYER can gain greater incentives than $500,000 per year until they have played at least 100 games..

    See one of the young kids step up and show they've got what it takes (Blease, Tappy, Howe, Cook, Strauss etc).

    Also hope that Giz can carry on from last years impressive debut.

  • Quote

    Top four, if that happens then all of the above may be on the money as well.

  • Quote

    Can't decide between Jack Watts showing Naitanui who's boss, or knocking Carlton out of the finals.

    I'd also like to see Blease, Tapscott and Gysberts get some good game time this year and show us what they can do.

    The selfish one would be to thrash the pies on queen's birthday,

    but I think I will go with seeing our injury plagued players getting through the year unscathed (Grimes, Wonaeamirri, Petterd, Jurrah, Rivers, Garland, Tapscott)

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
