Outrageous player predictions for 2014

Featured Replies

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.

 

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.

That's all I want.

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.

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.

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.

 

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.

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.


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

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

Edited by old dee

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) .


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

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

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!

Nicholson to have a kicking efficiency of above 80%.

That's outrageous alright!!


Spencer to be the best ruckman in the league.

Byrnes to become the All Australian ruck man.

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. :cool:

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.

Magner - will get a game

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG.

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
