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 yea

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?

I presume that Heath Scotland was put in that list as a joke? To see if we actually read the list before ticking.

2014 Predictions - Opel to continue to sponsor us and actually show the MFC version of the ad (as we are / will be on the improve) on Fox Footy rather than the Sydney Roosters version we all saw during Melbourne games during the times that we dare not speak of.

Tona, why would we offer Dayle Garlett a big contract when I'm quite sure he'd be happy to take any AFL opportunity that comes his way?

Why do people want Cooney? His knee is completely shot.

Have no idea... Hes a name, people gravitate to it. ( seemingly without thinking )

Neil Craig as coach with Cameron Ling and Nathan Bassett signing on as assistants and Rohan Welsh to be on the payroll part time splitting his time between Casey senior coach & Melbourne. One of those three to take over from Craig after 3-5 years.

Jack Watts & Colin Sylvia to sign 3 year deals.

Max Gawn 2 year deal.

Biggest recruit being Pick 2 James Aish with one of Sheed or Dunstan slipping through to our 2nd round pick.

Daniel Cross may sign as a free agent or alternatively Rodan will go on 1 more year.

The improvement to come from within.

Coach: Roos as head coach and Ling to step in as assistant or midfield coach. Craig to stay with some other still major role.

Gawn: 3 year contract

Watts: 3 year contract

Sylvia: signs for 2 years

BIGGEST midfield recruit(s): Daniel Cross and Sheed. If we get another high end pp then Aish or Dunstan, preferably aish if available.

Rising star: Hogan

Jesse Hogan to be a major influence in his first year at the club and finish 2nd behind Jack Martin for the rising star award.

Jack Grimes as captain with Nathan Jones as vice.

Jack Trengove to have a full pre-season and be our biggest improver.

Jack Viney to be fit for the entire year and dominate in our midfield.

Jack Watts to be played predominantly in our forward line and only dropped back into defence when required.

Mitch Clark to finally be injury free and dominate up forward.

Jeremy Howe to take mark of the year (again) and play more midfield time.

Max Gawn and Jack Fitzpatrick to be the number 1 and number 2 rucks.

Mark Jamar to be moved on.

Recruit the best young midfielder available with our number 2 pick in the draft.

The Dees to finish above the Bulldogs on the ladder at the end of 2014 (I have $100 on it)

Changing my predictions. I'm feeling a lot more optimistic today after Watson's comments on Roos and Sylvia stating that he wants to stay.

Paul Roos as coach

Jack Watts & Colin Sylvia sign 3 year deals.

Max Gawn 2 year deal.

Free Agents: Dale Thomas (5 year deal) & Daniel Cross (2 year deal)

Trade Pick 2 to Port Adelaide for Ollie Wines (they can have the local boy Aish)

Trade Pick 19 & Fitzpatrick to GWS for Adams & a third round pick

Trade Pick 36 to Essendon for Leroy Jetta & a fourth round round pick

Go to the draft with Picks 35, 54 & Essendon's 4th round pick in the 60's.

Our line up for Round 1 2014

FB: Colin Garland, James Frawley, Dean Terlich

HB: Jeremy Howe, Tom McDonald, Jack Grimes

C: Colin Sylvia, Daniel Cross, Jack Viney

HF: Jack Watts, Chris Dawes, Luke Tapscott

FF: Jesse Hogan, Mitch Clark, Leroy Jetta

FOLL: Mark Jamar, Oliie Wines, Nathan Jones

INT: Taylor Adams, Dale Thomas, Jack Trengove

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?

Because a captain needs charisma, which Nathan Jones lacks. A captain needs to speak well. Nathan Jones does not. A captain needs to be an attractive billboard for major sponsors. Yeah, nah.

Nathan Jones is an excellent player, is a good leader (as you say, mostly by example, which is only one facet of great leadership) and seems to be a good bloke too. He still isn't captaincy material.

How can we get Trengove running freely, how can we get Sylvia's arousal levels up each and every game, how can we get Tapscott finding the footy, how can we get Howe impacting the game more frequently, how can we get Toumpas some space with the ball, how can we get Strauss running off half back through the corridor and delivering forward, how can we get Blease the footy 10 more times a game.

The MFC has untapped potential.

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

Unfortunately Clarke won't play another game

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    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.
