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.

 

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!!

 

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


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.

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

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


Basically Goodes leading Morton on a merry dance saved them from that.

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

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`.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.
