MFC players you're most looking forward to watch in 2012

Featured Replies

Just thought I'd see what players everybody is most looking forward to see play in 2012. New players getting out on the park, developing players getting more games, older players re-igniting their careers etc.. Grimes- just to see JG play a full season injury free and develop into the player and leader we all know he has the potential to be.

Watts- #1 draft pick that still has a lot more development to go, like what I've seen so far but I know he will get a lot better.

Jurrah- LJ has great X factor and when he is electric to watch. Now that we might actually have some structure and he has some support we might see Liam take it to another level. Here's hoping.

Jones- We all know he's one of the fittest SOB's on our list and he has no problem finding the pill but his disposal could be a bit better, I think this year with better options in front of him chunk might surprise a few.

Moloney/Jamar- The ruck combo of these two guys when they're on is just awesome to watch and gives us first use of the ball.

Who do you most want to see play in the new look demons?

 

Mitch Clark and Magner.

Although I'm most interested to see how the team performs as a group and how well they can implement Neeld's game plan. I hope it works better than in 2008 when the group struggled to adopt the handball dominated approach implemented by Bailey!

I want to see Bate play in the middle.

I want to see if Grimes can play in the middle and stay uninjured for most of the season.

I want to see most players playing in the positions they have trained for in the pre-season and aren't constantly moved to different positions to fill holes.

I want to see Bennell weave some magic.

After the rocket from Neeld, I'm looking forward to seeing how Davey and Watts take up the challenge. Also looking forward to seeing how the revamped forward line performs as well as Bennell down back... I get the feeling he will have a breakout year. I also look forward to the continued Rise and Rise of Nathan Jones.

Looking forward to see how big Mitch goes up front with the big 11 on the back!

I would like to see Grimes play all year in any position.

I was not going to mention him till Aprill but good luck with item no.4


After todays training I'm salivating at the prospect of Mitch Clark Clunking them allday !!

I'm looking forward to Green & Davey playing good footy and proving the doubters wrong - both quality players and both will benifit from a playing in a more structured side

Im looking forward to seeing Trengove further stake his claims as a future A grader

Looking forward to seeing Mitch Clark play in the red and blue, and seeing is Sellar was a punt worth taking?


I'm really looking forward to see Tommy McD. His preseason so far has been brilliant.

Also Nicho is just burning on the track.

A good list there Demon WA.

If Green and Davey have good years things will improve considerably.

the guy with the most pressure on him this year is Mitch Clark. Wearing number 11 on his back has done it for him and i really hope he can handle it, and for this reason he is the one i will be keeping a close eye on

Jack Watts will be the surprise package of 2012. I'm very hopeful that with the new culture Neeld and Co are fostering at MFC the likes of JW and the other young blokes with heaps of potential, will finally start coming of age.

Also, I have a strange feeling that Magner will get a fair bit of game time this year. He will be the wrecking ball at clearances we so badly need.


I'm a big Col Sylvia fan, I just want him to have a good consistant year with 5-10 games like he played against Richmond(with out getting reported) last season and like he played against Hawthorn the year before. He can be our big midfield gun in 2012

Watts, Blease, Clark, Jurrah, Tapscott, Grimes, Trengove, Howe, Mckenzie and many more.

Very interested to see how Davey and Green respond.

mckenzie, tommy mc and howe...

very excited about what the medium forwards (petterd, jurrah and co.) can do around the lynch-pins of clark and watts.

gysberts to see how far along he has developed

Aaron Davey returning to his early career form, Jack Watts having a standout year and Jamie Bennell playing consistent, classy footy all year. I will watch Mitch Clark with great interest.

Without doubt, Liam Jurrah. Clearly it takes all types and styles to have a successful team and that is what we all want.

I know a lot of you guys might like to watch the workhorse V8s on the track, but for me I prefer the F1 Ferrari! Players like Liam are why our game is so magnificent.

  • 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.
