    Don't we already have 500 threads about our off season?

    did you post a pointless comment on all 500?

    I just wanted to discuss the prospects for these lads in 2014.

    Wow, gone early on the Bluey call.

    From what I saw at training on Friday, you may well be right

    His form over the pre season has been outstanding, he is a beautiful kick and I see him setting up a lot of play for us, if he carries that form all year I reckon he is a sneaky chance at All Australian

    Sassy - after 3037 posts surely you must know that positive posts are an anathema on this site. :-(

    Touché!

    Don't know about the Bluey, but agree with the sentiments. I think he and Dom will be fantastic additions. The midfield rebuild is still a long way from complete. We need at least 2-3 more high quality mids brought in in the next trade/draft period, then some.

    The thing about them is they both win their own ball and when they have it they make something happen, that's what seperates stars and average players, the ability to turn normal touches into dangerous touches

    Massive call to say he'll be the best recruit of any side, although he will be a great pickup.

    Mumford looks like he is going to transform the Giants into a different outfit this season and beyond. At this stage he'd be my pick.

    I think we need to anticipate that Bernie may be up and down with his level of performance. If he can be at a consistently high level that would be great, but it hasn't been the case for him in recent years.

    Polec is probably another who has been a pretty big pickup, I had no idea he was even capable of the sort of game he dished up against Carlton

    my season predictions for us are

    Wins 6-8

    Bluey: Vince

    best first year: Georgiou

    best recruit: Vince, Tyson

    Goals: Howe

    under the pump: Jack Trengove ( no excuses now )

    most improved: Lynden Dunn

    You may well be correct Sassy. I still think Jones is a shoe in for a repeat though.

    I'm betting on Tyson as best recruit.

    This guy is going to be an absolute superstar in 2 to 3 seasons, assuming our mid field doesn't end up collapsing in a heap with injuries, like our key forwards.

    You gotta love Bernie.

    Very good player and capable of 4 or 5 seasons with us and hopefully all quality.

    Sassy, I really hope you're right.

    My expectations have been tempered by the 5 or 6 Crows fans who I've spoken to. They've all spoken of how frustrating Bernie can be, how he can go missing during the season.

    We've seen his heat when he is hot, and I'm hoping that the Roos magic will sort out Bernie's consistency and shove it up the Crows' fans.

    Go Dees!

    I reckon Roosy will be right onto that, for me the expectation associated with Bernie is that he shows leadership, is a positive influence on our list and when it's his turn to go he plays his role

    (Actually Anathema are on at the Corner Hotel on 23rd August, people should check them out)...back on topic, don't mind another topic and a bit of love for Bernie, believe there were issues at Adelaide in his last couple of years, game plan changed which sort of froze him out, reckon he has point to prove, same as Cross (who I believe is a bit [censored] with the Age journalist who said he is 'eking out another year at Melbourne")

    Bernie has the one thing that we have been and still lack - class

    Gee I don't know about that. He'll be a quality pick up, but I personally reckon Jones' game will elevate even further this year. Bernie could end up with the hard tag, freeing up Chunk a bit. I reckon Chunk will kick more goals this season, and we'll see him grab plenty more quality possessions on the way to his third straight Bluey

    I actually think Trenners is my smokey, if he plays a full year at the level he played against the Tigers and at times against the Hawks he will have a much improved year.

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
