I'd love to come back on here after round 24 and read, "Wow, how good was Trenners this year?? No wonder he was a number 2 pick"

Also to see even more improvement in Jones, much love.


And finally, for us to have a top draft pick who really performs for us..... please....pleeeease Jimmy T let it be you!!!

Wouldn't Pedersen have dibs on 3rd tall? And I rate Cam as highly as Clark and Dawes, not as many games on the board (or media attention) but has proven himself in the ones he's played.

I agree with you in wanting to see Fitzpatrick get more opportunities, 3 goals from 3 games is a nice start.

I agree, I rate pederson as our best signing. I loved the jizz but to swap him for pedo, I'll take it.

- Mitch Clark to get back without complications(that injury can finish players)

- Dom Barry to be hard enough to be a superstar(the only issue i see with him)

- Wattsy to become an elite versatile player (not as far off as people think)

- for a couple of the fringe players to step up and be counted (jetta, tap, Dunn, davey, TRENNERS)

I'm optomistic about the year ahead finals would be an absolute dream but we aren't quiet ready yet so here are few of my wishes for 2013

1. Beat both Essendon and Richmond and finish higher than both! My misses is a Richmond nut and she gave me hell last year and that B@#ch Caro Wilson.

My Misses old Man Bombers nut gave me hell aswell and would love to see another year for the dons pulling hamstrings and promising much but bombing out!!

2. NO BELTINGS ABOVE 50 PINTS!!!

3 Jack Viney to tear it up in the midfield alongside Jimmy Toumpas hopefully in a ripper first season for them both!

4. Dawes and Clark starting to gel causing big problems for opposition backs!!!

My Mrs Is also a mad Tiger and her father Is also a mad Dons fan... We're not seeing the same girl are we? lol

Lot's of it, I suppose OD it goes with being a dees supporter.

We have been starved for too long for a real superstar like a Buddy or Ablett.

Not going to drag up the past recruiting of players but I'd love for us to unearth a real superstar with an early draft pick. Not saying that Trenners or Watts won't get to a high level but doubt they will ever compete with a Buddy, Ablett, Judd (of a couple years ago) or Goodes.

By the end of this season I'd like people to start respecting our club for the way we go about our football.

On a side note I wouldn't mind seeing Jesse Hogan ripping up the VFL and have us die hards salivating at the thought of him playing for the red & blue.

I really think we have 4 superstars in the making.

Viney - Selwood type

Hogan - Jono Brown type

Toumpas - Pendlebury type

Barry - Michael Long type

Maybe even more if you include Clark , Watts , and Blease with their power skill and speed, and all still relatively young.

Good times ahead people.

Hi, im new and these are my wishes :-)

.. For Colin Sylvia to play every game like his mate has just retired. Would be amazing to see him play like a war machine.

.. For Jeremy Howe to win both mark of the year and goal of the year in every game. In which both awards are merged and become the Jeremy Howe award of awesome.

.. For Clark, Dawes, Pedo and Fitzpatrick to legitimately terrify all defenders.

.. For Melbourne to kill Essendumb and for James Hird to get an even tan on his face (dude needs to stop wearing the sunnies).

.. For Jesse Hogan to become the Mountain that Moves + kicks goals (in the VFL)

.. For the "Investigation" to end and for Carro and [censored] to both F off.

.. For Frawley to find his smile (poor guy didnt look like he was having fun last year) :-(

.. For Tapscott to get reported multiple times for being a truck. (but getting off) ;-)

.. I think most of all though... I hope to witness a team that sticks up for each other, plays for each other and wants to win like nothing else.

Go Dees!

My 2013 wish list

- Players should lead everytime when his teamate is about to kick the ball. It's easier to maintain possession than kicking it into a pack.

- Only kick down the line to a pack as last resort

- Take more risks and play with flare

- Hope all players have good run with injury.

- Minimal off field issues

Amen

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
