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.

For Jack Watts to kick a bag of goals on QB match. Make the eight.

Beat Carlton

and North Melbourne, Hawthorn, Collingwood, Geelong and Essendon

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.

Finals - Grimes to play 22 games (+)

-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!!

Top 3 finish for Trengove in the Bluey count.

Addam Maric to cement his spot and deliver what we know he can !!

A first round victory to ignite the flame!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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

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.

Rohan Bail to emerge from nowhere & become a top 10 damaging player in The AFL

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.

I have no idea what Maric can deliver. In fact, based on his AFL form, I doubt he can deliver much at all.

I get the sentiment though.

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!

A Win In Perth For Us loyal Western Demon Fans...... Sick Of Leaving Subiaco To The Sound Of Eagle Rock or That Crap Tune The Dockers Use

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

I've got another one- we need to clock up our highest score in our history. Our highest score ever is just 28.14 182, comparitively much smaller to other clubs' highest

A win or two over in Adelaide would be suffice too...

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

Agreed. I think Morton played a solid game considering who is opponent was.

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.

I`d like to see us really put Carlton to the sword at the MCG. Expose them as pretenders to the crown of the `next big thing`.
