Three players who you expect a BIG 2013 from ...

Featured Replies

Hook, line, and sinker.... Welcome back Range Rover.

Could start a new game, Range Rover hunting.

High post rate, same post structure, same attitude to JW... same troll.

 

Watts: He was a #1 pick?

Trengove: He was a #2 pick?

Morton (if he isn't gone): He was a #4 pick?

Hoping you mean 'Jamar (get ON the ground)'

He's spent far too long on the sidelines of late :)

Something like that on top of his current lack of mobility

 

1) Dawes - He's going to be played in his prefered spot in the team so he should return to how he played under Malthouse

2) Trengove - Another year as captain and another growing as a player, expect to see him have a much improved 2013

3) watts - as he will be in defence, i think he will play like he was mid 2012 except for the whole year :)

edit: Sylvia, given that he was showing consitency during this year will probably have a big year too :)

Sylvia

Trengove

Viney

Just have a gut feeling especially with Col.


Nathan Jones

Sam Blease

Chris Dawes

Sylvia

Trengove

Tapscott

Sure you don't mate. You've started threads that are basically polls without actually using a poll, you don't like Watts, and you sound the same as always.

I do like your new name a lot better though.

I won't respond to these Range Rover calls again. I'm not him.

But I would like to know what part of this justifies calling me a troll?

1) Jack Watts

Time to step up for this fella in his 5th season. Needs to go up not one but two notches in output and start influencing games of football. Needs to show more intensity, get to more contests, take more marks and show more leadership ... even if it does mostly occur in the backline. Has the tools to become All-Australian in 2013 ... but does he have the mindset and the will?

A fair assessment by any standards and I even state he has 'the tools to become AA'.

Quit sniping and start offering something remotely intelligent. Or maybe you can't?

 

Dawes - like Clarke he's going to come in with something to prove - particularly given his old teammate is forward coax - and relieved of ruck duties I reckon he will tear it up.

Trengove - last year was an aberration. He was injured and weighed down by the captaincy expectations. He's a star and will demonstrate it.

Frawley - had a bad one last year. But in fairness the backline was under siege the whole time. A better midfield performance should aid him immensely.

So that would be forward, midfield, backline.

Smokey is Davey. Couldn't handle the attention a couple of years back. That'll be off now and he may have an Indian summer. Would love to see it.

Expect nothing from Watts or Sylvia. I don't want to be disappointed by having expectations of such flaky individuals.

Could be an interesting year. Expectations pretty low.

If you're not RR then you've certainly hit the ground running for a newbie. 62 posts in a couple of days.

Assuming you are new, welcome aboard.

Thanks PMan. Happy to be here and excited about 2013!

Who are your three players?

I think its a fair assesment on jack. Needs to lift his intensity to another bar and increase his workrate. im sick of accecpting these pissy little games against bottom sides getting useless possesions across half back.

I too have high expectations on jack next year and hope he goes into top gear...

Mitch Clark competing against only 2 players (thanks Dawesy) will tear them apart.

Tommy McD. having gained a lot of confidence and another good Pre Season under his belt will absolutely demoralise the opposing forwards.

Captain Jack T. will have rid himself of first year captain blues and step up to reach new highs

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
