Mitch Clark!!!

Fit, mean, nasty, protecting Hogan.

80 goals between them.

Jack Viney....top 3 in centre clearances.

Jack Watts to crunch Pendlebury.

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

    Jamar traded to collingwood for Harry O.

    Recruit a gun midfielder from gws/gc

    Watts knocks back massive offer from carlscum and in return, we make an offer on yarran.

    Dayle garlett offered a big contract to inject some wizardry to our midfield/forward line.

    Roos analysis our list and declares we are a top4 prospect.

    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 )

  • Quote

    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.

  • Quote

    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

  • Quote

    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)

    Oh no! I can feel the pollyanna syndrome coming on again. It can't be pre season already can 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

    One big objection

    Tapscott will be traded

  • Quote

    i think we need to hang on to tapscott for one more year, has played some good games and is something abit different.

  • Quote

    lol, you all predict Sylvia to be gone.

    not a chance in hell

  • Quote

    Hogan to be the biggest sensation the game has seen since coleman, catapults us into the finals and kicks 100 goals

  • Quote

    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.

  • Quote

    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

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
