Stef Martin to break thru as 2nd ruck.

Interesting.

I was a big fan of Martin in 2009, injuries and constant positional changes made a lot of people (myself included) forget a bit about him. On Friday night I thought of the few touches he did have he was quite good and there definitely is an opportunity there for him to take the second ruck position.

Id take another year out of the finals for Big Jimma to beat the big C for good. This man has made Melbourne the most exciting club of the future. He has put back life back into a flogged horse going no where. He is the most selfless individual. Go Jimma we are right behind you please get well.

-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

i love your first priority, not only for what it is but that it is yout top priority.

Definately puts a bit of perspective out there.

while i'm at it... finals appearance and a few watts expeditions!!

As others have mentioned, beating Carlton or Collingwood, don`t care which one , hopefully both of `em. I`d also take a win at Kardinia Park!

Yeah It'd be fantastic to break Geelong's home streak of 20-something games. Well I know they havent lost there since 2007 since that classic game V Port Adelaide

A 100pt win. I was at work listening on the radio when we tonked Carlton and therefore haven't seen one since R21, 1993.

Had enough +100 losses, something the other column would be tops.

+ more good financial results.

Sylvia to smash everyone and win Brownlow.

Our Midfield to become very deep, ( More players step up and we have a super powerful midfield)

Watts to breakout and get a BOG, maybe kicking 4 or 5.

Grimes to get even more awsome, if that is possible.

Collingwood to have a shocking premiership hangover and struggle all season.

The biggest Challenge for the DEES, we have not won there when we had good sides.

However 2011 is the year.

The Cats are IMO on the way down.

A couple injuries and we have them by the throat.

If we can win in Adelaide ( admittedly a mickey mouse game ) anything is possible!

yes that would be good, we should have secured this against the Swans. Basically Goodes leading Morton on a merry dance saved them from that. BTW Sydney at the G is round 1 fixture, nice way to open the account

Bit tough on Morton , Goodes is a big , mobile , 2 time Brownlow medalist with a ton of experience .

Simple. Make finals... everything else is small.

There's gonna be some players find form you didn't know they had (I'm thinking Jones, Maric, Garland... one of those types)... Some will have huge impact in a few games, as what Gys did last season (I'm thinking Tappy, Cook, Howe those types)...

And then of course a few players will do a Jamar/Frawley and come out of nowhere.

I think Watts would be the only one I really want to have an individually good year. We have a lot invested in him. Maybe Scully too so we get more for him should he go... Aside from those, I'm gonna sit back, relax and watch us run teams off their feet. I've been waiting for this season for 4 years. Actually, for more like ten probably.

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
