    Dean Kent to get some time in the gutz and kick 30 odd goals.

    Building on what he showed this year and with another full pre season under his belt I think we'll see something pretty special begin to emerge.

    Kent and Blease taking the game on and kicking goals sounds good to me.

    Jeremy Howe, with good guidance from Roos, and taking the 4th back, will kick 40

    Why do I cringe everytime I see the word "Breakout"?

    maybe your 16 and have bad complexion

    or ,you could have had hopes and dreams ruined in the last 6 years

    option A is a bad guess?

    Michael Evans

    Agree completely. And I see Taggert as being a regular but on the half forward line

  • Quote

    Half the bloody list, hopefully.

    In comparison to the last two seasons what is our definition of "breakout"? If some players suddenly start winning contested balls, breaking away at speed and spotting up a forward lace out. That would be breakout. So it could be half the side! If we manage to set up correctly and consistently execute the point kick outs to our advantage that would be breakout to me as well.

    N.Jones to step up another level, Frawley to revisit AA form, Clark to play 22 games.

    I agree on Watts, Blease, Jetta and Evans

    And just to feel like we have more than one midfielder.

    Mono your level of support for Colin is truely amazing

    This would make it his 11th "potential" break out year of his career wouldnt it?

    If he stays I just hope he gets in plays some regular consistent footy to justify all the support you guys have given him over his long career. Good luck!

    Jake Spencer gets very little good press on Demonland. I rate him above Gawn at the moment. In fact, given his tackling, second efforts and mobility, I rate him as numero uno ruckman. I'm predicting a breakout year for Spencil.

    I nominate this for the worst thread title in history. It combines my two most hated qualities in a thread: unfounded optimism and unimaginative cliches.

    Now, Now Fowl! You’re starting to sound like Moonshadow and you are far more intelligent than him (well just about everyone is I suppose).

    A couple of points.

    1. Without going through the whole history of Dland , I’m sure there are worse threads than this – in fact I may have started some myself.
    2. As for unfounded optimism and unimaginative clichés – well this is the land of clichés. Ban clichés and you might as well close D’land – in fact close football.
    3. Finally, if you think it is [censored], don’t read it and let the rest of us dream.

    Sylvia has had a good couple of seasons. Defintely in our 3 most damaging players and does not deserve that bollocking he gets form many at Demonland.

    Sometimes jazza I reckon you've partaken in too much of Gellibrands market garden.

    yeah but he was the No.2 draft pick.

    I suppose we can't read into that since we are so [censored] at recruiting!

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      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.

      The Demons come face to face with St. Kilda for the second time this season for their return clash at Marvel Stadium on Sunday. Who comes in and who goes out?
