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.

    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.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    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
