Interested to see what people's thoughts are looking towards next year.

Edited July 7, 201312 yr by demon-4-life

I predict Craig will be senior coach, Grimes captain with Jones as deputy.

Sylvia to be gone via FA.

Where is the iron to selection "win the premiership"!

Coach - Roos Captain - Nath Jones. Departed - Col Sylvia. Newly arrived in Red & Blue - Daniel Shiel, Daniel Cross, Nick Dal Santo, Harry O

Sounds fanciful but if you can organise this I'd be happy!!

Mark Williams coach. Jones captain, garland deputy. Jamar traded to GWS, with strauss for a mid fielder.. Sylvia will stay, watts will stay and if we stay injury free maybe just fall into the 8!

If fit ...a fairly scary forward line.

Would love Stokes. Absolute gun.

We will beat RICHMOND.

Coach - Paul Roos

Peter Jackson is not interested in second best

I expect Neil Craig to stay on

Max Gawn - Will stay

He sees a future at the MFC and Jamar will be gone after 2014

Colin Sylvia - Will Go

Will look for an opportunity to play finals and my guess is Hawthorn

Jack Watts - Will Stay

Neeld's departure solved that problem

Midfielder - First Rounder = Aish

Best midfielder in the draft

Not interested in any of the players listed

Would rather take a chance on one of those 3 Rioli's in next years draft

I confidently predict our first half of next year will be better than our first half of this year

ill tell you after round 22, its too early now.

the last few weeks have me enjoying watching the Demons again.

Amazing what a real coach can do.

I predict that there will be complaints about the coach, the fact that we are worse than people expected and our recruiting because some other club got a player who is showing a lot in their first year.

Couldn't agree more my man

Hogan to be in serious contention for the coleman, assuming we have a fit Dawes and Clark who will draw the best defenders.

I love the optimism, but lets not expect too much. I know he's a monster kid absolutely dominating vfl, but he may need a hand full of years before he's Colman material. I have faith he will be a good player, but I also don't want him to enter his first game with high expectations of him.

Jones is not captaincy material.

I also agree with your optimistic wish list however I a optimistic that Sylvia will also stay and surprise his detractors by playing to his (First Round) potential!

Not a chance, especially so with a forward line of Clark, Dawes, Watts and Howe to keep him company. That is definitely a positive though.

Coach - Craig or Williams

Captain - Grimes

Deputy - Trenners

1st round selection - Sheed (please god!!!)

forward line to dominate if fit

hopefully get cooney, dal santo and maybe harry o

I'm pencilling Howe in for mark of the Year. Make that inked in.

This year too.

im staggered that people want Adam Cooney at our club next year

his best is well past him, he is on one leg and will probably be asking for too much money

Jones is not captaincy material.

Yeah, why on earth would we want someone who leads by example, who provides mentoring for the younger players and who proudly represents his club at any given opportunity?

Lenny hayes to play a year for us before stepping into an assitant coaches role? playing coach perhaps?
