Who gets you excited?

[Josh 1,420]

Who or what are we most looking foward to next year?

I cant wait for Viney and Dawes and all our new recruits to show there skills I think we will be improvers for sure. But there are 2 players I will keep a very close eye on...

Watts - This could be his year, as a floating half back or attacking wing man I really hope he can explode and turn games on his own.

Gawn - Can the big fella break into the seniors and claim the No. 1 ruck role for good?

scarlette johannsen (spelling?)

[Josh 1,420]

yeah yeah get all those out of the way first i suppose...

[Hobbits's 17]

Gawn - Can the big fella break into the seniors and claim the No. 1 ruck role for good?

maybe a year early with the question. i just hope he can get a full quota of games in 2013 uninterrupted.

[PaulRB 6,044]

A full season from the new twin towers up forward in Clark and Dawes.

[Good Times Grimes 2,396]

maybe a year early with the question. i just hope he can get a full quota of games in 2013 uninterrupted.

I'm with you there. Playing every week, and at least 10 times in the senior side would be a win for Gawn.

[Bluey's Dad 3,419]

Gawn tap down to Viney, clearance to Clark then goal.

Repeat all season.

Oh Yeah!!!

[Ouch! 2,074]

Jordie Mac - With a full preseason, and players like Viney, Rodan and Trengove in there, I suspect he will have a good year

Howe - Take things to the next level, and when I say that, not vertically but being an important cog in the midfield, and a goal kicking mid.

Dawes - I think he is capable of improving as significantly as Clark did in his first year.

Viney and Toumpas will be exciting to watch, but trying to keep excitement in check for these guys.

Strauss and Terlich are two that I also will be very interested to see how they go.... I get a feeling that these two could slot in on the half back/back pocket, with Watts, Garland, Frawley and Tom Mac making up the back 6. Gives a good amount of height, and rebound, and some good footskills as well.

Finally would love to see if Jones has another gear as well, or whether it is going to be a case of needing a better team around him before he gets mentioned as a potential AA type of player... loved what I saw from him last year.

Ok I think I am done now!

I've fallen for this trap before....... i'm saving my excitement for game days...... Viney, Dawes, Hogan, Toumpas? Believe it when I see it......

[Deeoldfart 7,822]

Who or what are we most looking forward to next year?

.........................................................

The new season, the start of a new era, going to games full of confidence, singing the song until I'm hoarse. I could go on, but I'm sure you get my drift.

[Bitter but optimistic 21,560]

I really keen to see what Dawes can do and I'm hoping that this year will be a huge one for Jack Watts.

However, my big hope and maybe a surprise for some, is Jake Spencer. Has improved out of site and is very determined.

[DemonDave 1,078]

Joel Mcdonald??

[jnrmac 19,336]

I will be wrapt if CLark can get back to fitness and play a good season.

Looking fwd to see Neeld's competitive new recruits attack the game.

Want to see us playing like a team. With good comraderie, commitment and high expectations. Healthy competition for spots with reward for effort.

Big Mitch (figuratively speaking of course)

Agree on Spencer's improvement BBO.

Viney and Toumpas have me excited. Looking forward to seeing the midfield function in a positive sense and the delivery up forward so Dawes, Clark can clunk a few.

[Hannibal 5,814]

Senior players: Clark, Howe and Trengove

Viney

Toumpas

The big Kent

Barry

[juzzk1d 1,354]

Dom Barry. He has silky skills and moves like a gazelle

[jabberwocky 2,301]

General Neeld's war on mediocrity

[DeeZee 6,856]

Im excited and looking forwrad to seeing the likes of Barry, and Kent, even Rodan i believe will give us some xcitement.

But i still cant go past Jimmy Toumpas , as a quick goal kicking winger half forward with sublime skills.

Oh...and Viney of course.

[deeflog 679]

can't wait to see Howe take his game to the next level, and i expect to see him do it

[dee-luded 2,958]

Huh?

All Rrrright !!!

I am with Oucher on his views however Howe and Watts are the two who will rise!

[stuie 7,374]

Mitch Clark and Jack Viney.

We've needed some balls for so long, and I see them as the left and right. I love the types of players that make you proud of your club and walk a little taller on game day.

[robbiefrom13 877]

Supposing we do see improvement overall, I want to see Watts emerge as a gamebreaker. More than anyone else, he's been the target of the sneerers; and so, for us to begin to really command respect, I think that Watts' performances just about have to demand respect first. Unfair, but he's been front and centre since we drafted him. I suspect he'll either be at the centre of our rise or he'll just drift out the side; but if he takes off, we shake off all the crap we've taken in the past so-many years...

Against GWS at the MCG, Watts fending off to gather on the wing and taking a couple of bounces before the perfect cross to Trengove at centre-half-forward, who marked over Scully before goaling - that was a pointed statement about being number one draft pick if ever I saw one, and it got me very excited. I think he's ready for a break-out, and goodness knows he's got the skills if he can impose himself on the game week after week. I want more of this - rub all their faces in it, Jack! It would silence the critics and vindicate the club better than just about anything - providing of course that we are seen to have begun our push up the ladder.
