Outrageous player predictions for 2014

[DeeSpencer 24,784]

Nicholson to dominate.

As trivial as it sounds his hard running and speed could actually be developed into something. He has all the physical attributes of Kieran Jack. And bad skills can be conquered with time and composure.

The issue I have with Nicholson is that he's soft. It's the non negotiable.

[old dee 23,503]

Grimes off half back is the most obvious one.

I'd really hope for Howe and/or Watts on a wing.

If I had to predict improved performance from a midfielder I'd go with McKenzie re-affirming himself as a tackling machine and decent player.

Can I add "and become a decent kick" tm?

Mitch Clark to get a metal foot-replacement. Then, if someone (please let it be Michael Hurley or Hayden Ballantyne) tries to smother his kick, he can knock their teeth out.

That's all I want.

Well it is outrageous predictions. But my serious prediction is that he can be a very good player without kicking well.

Cue music from Terminator 2

DADA DA DADA!

In all seriousness, I want to see Trengove have a season that makes Dusty Martin look like a plodder.

If Roos can't get him going I'll be amazed and dismayed.

[Little Richard 6,216]

I want to see Magner (if kept) become an integral part of the midfield. With Roos and a good midfield coach I think it's not that outrageous.

[Deemotivated 550]

Mitch Clark to play every game and kick 65 goals.

Jimmy Toumpas to have a break out season after a full preaseason and thus shutting up all the ollie wines talk.

Trenners to get some pace back and prove his worth.

[Steamin Demon 392]

1. Jamar to string more than 5 games together.

2. Magner to play purely as a ball winning midfielder

3. Nifty Nev to make the back pocket his own.

[DeeSpencer 24,784]

Why is everyone's outrageous predictions that Magner will become a part of our 22. How does that make us better? The guys a VFL player. Slow, average skills, why not hope one of our quick and skillful players can find the pill.

[Bring-Back-Powell 14,383]

Rohan Bail to become the next Jimmy Bartel

[Slartibartfast 16,900]

Jack Watts to play so well Ben Hur has to cut and paste his "I was wrong - again" post.

[Dee Fan 3,247]

Who will Roos turn from spud to delicious curly fries next year ?

I'll kick off.

Pederson to become our Ted Richards.

Does that mean we are going to trade him to Sydney?

We should be so lucky

I would pay them to take him

Could be any of Strauss, Taggert, Jetta, Blease, Tappy, Gawn, Evans or Watts - they are our under performing players (Viney, Hogan etc are already good)

Strauss is my pick - has a great kick, great pace and size. He has dominated VFL all year and finally gets a couple AFL games where he gets injured arrrrr (showed something tho).

He is still young and I think he just needs to be put in the side from round 1 - round 5 and we will have a rebounding back pocket who can play on mediums or quick smalls (e.g.Betts).

Loved him running out of the backline and using his great kicking in the couple games at the end of the year (means Watts can play forward or on the wing) .

[Deeoldfart 7,996]

Dunn regular CHF while Hogan and and Fitz. fill the KPF roles at Casey.

[hardtack 10,422]

Dennis Cometti to develop a stutter after having to call out "Jones to Jones to Jones" repeatedly for an entire season.

[Demoneyes 562]

I think you will find every single player will improve under Roos! Therefore our breakout season for all of them will see us in the 8! Now there is a prediction!

[Bitter but optimistic 22,066]

Nicholson to dominate.

Nicholson to have a kicking efficiency of above 80%.

[Deemotivated 550]

Nicholson to have a kicking efficiency of above 80%.

That's outrageous alright!!

[dl4e 5,850]

Spencer to be the best ruckman in the league.

[Demon Jack 6,741]

Byrnes to become the All Australian ruck man.

[Curry & Beer 5,444]

Nothing outrageous about it, but I predict the individual and group performance will improve around the ground, creating entries with more frequency and greater quality for a forward line fetauring Watts, Howe, Hogan, Dawes, Fitzy and Clark to give us one of the best inside-50-to-goal ratios in the comp, with about 180 goals between them for the year.

[Macca 16,643]

McKenzie to win mark of the year (standing on Howe's shoulders)

Dunn to win 'Jumper punch of the year'

Trengove to win the Grand Final sprint.

[Young Dee 1,303]

Magner - will get a game
