I've seen some pretty "matter of fact" / Bold statements in some of the player review threads. I thought it might be a laugh to have a designated topic where posters can make bold predictions abvout how we might gio next year and then revist down the track and see how right or wrong we were?!

My predicitons for 2012;

Jack Watts to be named in the All Australian team

Brad Green & Aaron Davey to rebound from poor seasons

Clint Bartram to be in Neelds best 22

    Brad Green to keep the captainesy and have a good year.

    Davey to continue his 2011 form and be delisted at season end.

    Sylvia to finally have a good year and win the B&F.

    Dees to finish 10th. and only get beaten by 8 goals at Geelong.

    Demetriou appoints Mike Brady to perform on Grand Final Day.

    Dees pick up O'Meara and Viney in draft.

    Scully's asked at a press conference prior to season what he thinks of GWS and it's surrounds...he replies, "I'm just here for a look; just looking.."

    No NAB Cup.

    Sling tackles in vogue again.

    Sheedy takes a swipe at Ross Lyon prior to the Fremantle v GWS 'blockbuster'

    Malthouse critical commentary of the Magpies output and says it's a direct reflection of coach's instruction and preparation.

    Max Gawn to further entrench himself as a cult hero with couple of goodish games with moments of whimsy and hilarity.

    Some-one will tell us "The player have been burning over the Pre-season."

    Some-one will declare that "We just didn't come out too play."

    Some-one will tell us " We can still make the 8."

    Jack Watts to finish 3rd in our B&F. Brent Moloney wins back to back 'Blueys'. Jonesy second.

    Nathan Jones, Jack Trengove and Cale Morton to flourish under new coach Neeld.

    Dees to finish 8th and win first final only to lose the next one.

    Ron Barassi makes a comeback for one game v's GWS, flattens $cully and is suspended for life. We beat Sheedy's mob by 212 points to erase our name from one undesirable record.

    Rodney Grinter is appointed specialist 'toughness' coach.Wants to play against GWS but his wish is declined. Knocking out coach Neeld didn't help his cause.

    Sam Blease to show his true talents along with Jamie Bennell.

    Max Gawn to grow 6 cms to become taller than Sandilands.

    • 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.
