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

Cale Morton receives lifetime supply of spinach for Christmas. Proceeds to win the next 8 Brownlow Medals.

Tom Scully abducted by aliens (little green men, no less) before playing a game for GWS. True to his name, no-one believes it.

HT I can believe some of your predictions but this one

"RR and WYL to get along like a house on fire."

You have got to stay off the Coffee!

Ok it's a long shot, but anything is possible.

I'm talking about getting off the coffee....

Dees to smash GWS in our first outing, with $cully taken from the ground on a stretcher after being ironed out (legally of course :) ) by Beamer.

Nathan Jones to win the B&F after taking to Neeld like a duck to water.

Colin Sylvia close second B&F.

Liam Jurrah to have a proper breakout season, working in tandem with Wonna to bamboozle opposition defences.

Trengove and Grimes to share the Captaincy.

Green to return to form with the weight of Captain lifted from his shoulders.

Dees to finish 6th.

Pendles to come to Melbourne at seasons end, on the back of a poor season for the Pies and some gentle persuasion from our coach.

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.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
