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.

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.


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) .


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

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
