I think there will be a lot of anxiety at Tigerland this year, there seems to be a belief that they will take the next step. Can't see it myself, they are getting ahead of themselves again. Apart from that who knows, I wouldn't make a prediction on us until I see the new group on the field, to many changes. Feels good at the moment though.

This exercise is always difficult and an absolute stab in the dark. Only throwing it out there so I can see how far off I was come September.

Pies - Still have a lot of class IMO and should be hurting from last year

Hawks - Still number 1 on their day. As above but last 2 years will really burn, If Lake stands up releases pressure on Gibson and Schoenmakers

Swans - Because they are the Swans/Bloods always there and we will say come Round 16/17 what about Sydney they are sitting in Top 4 quietly

Dockers - Ross Lyon factor although hearing rumours Mundy & Fyfe are struggling to get out on the track confirmation of this will change my opinion

Blues - 2011 had them 1 step away from being one of the Top 4, now with Malthouse's defensive mindset I see them as the climbers this year

Eagles - Nic Nat struggling extra workload on Dean Cox. Lecras back is a bonus although they are heavily reliant on old heads of Glass & Kerr

Crows - Still Solid, Tippet gone but he was not a big factor, the draw of 2012 was easy but midfield is still classy with Thompson, Sloan & Dangerfield, Walker stepped up in 2012.

Tigers - Still not sold on them but split between them and the ageing Cats, history tells me two changes to the 8 at least most years so go Tigers

-----------------------

Cats - Ageing list will win plenty of games at Kardinia and show glimpses of their past, but Rivers is not Scarlett and the older heads showed signs last year the end is near

North - Will show glimpses of form but I only see them as an average side at best and for me will always be around 7th to 12th. Tougher draw this year

Dees - Expect improvement and a harder edge and may be biaised putting us above Lions & Bombers

Lions - Have rebuilt well since trying to recruit older players to fill holes. Like their coach will be hard to beat and will win their fair share of games

Bombers - The honeymoon is over blow torch to be turned on the golden child with Thomo to take over in 2014

Saints - Just think the time has come for a clean out and they were up for a long time

Power - They have some talent and will provide nuisance value but IMO a fair way off

Suns - I seen them take a few strides forward in the second half of the season and will snare some surprise wins but like Port still a way off

Dogs - Finished the second half of last season terribly and look to be heading were we were in 2007

Giants - Second year will be tougher for them and whilst they have some grunt in the players they targetted the opposition know a bit more about them now

obviously i really wanted to put melbourne higher than i did, but as much as i think we will improve next season i don't think it will be enough to leap frog a lot of teams around us next year as a few are also on the up. If we can win the majority of the close games next year then we should move up 1 possibly 2 spots, either way we should easily be a better and more competitive team this season.

I could care less about other sides. But for the dees i'm going out on a limb here. Melbourne are currently $10 to make the 8. Great value i reckon and well worth a nibble. We play GWS, PA, GC and the bullies all twice. It possible we could get say 7 wins from those games. We also play 15 games at the G which is huge for us. 12 games might get us in.

With our draw i believe $10 is overs and as such is value. The true odds in my opinion is about $8.

Collingwood, Essendon and Carlton to finish out of the top 8, Hawthorn to slide (Main rationale is because I hate them all!)

Melbourne to make the eight (because I predict this every year), Freo to improve.

I cannot beleive that every single person has put Collingwood high up in the top eight. Back in my day, no self-respecting Demon supporter would dream of admitting to predicting that!

can't see there being a huge gap in wins from about 7-15 wouldn't be surprised to see MFC's draw being enough to have people feeling they might be a chance at sneaking into the 8 for the first half of the year then perhaps falling away in the second half through just being a young team and tiring abit, hoping for some good signs though!

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    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
