A few of us discussed  this the other night. My  thinking is we'll  win 10-13 games....all depending  on a couple of likely  lads stepping up and an even year of injury.

This being so...we could go 8th...and I'd  love to do so but reluctantly i think 9th.

Richmond will have none of that!!

    I reckon that we will also finish above the Suns and GWS as well as the four you nominated. I also think that our Queen's Birthday match against Collingwood will be an absolute ripper next year culminating in us winning by one point when Petracca kicks a goal from outside fifty after the siren.

    Giants have a very good side. 

    Like us they can't afford too many injuries.

    We need to WIN AT LEAST 7 before the bye.

    If we can win consecutive and even get on a roll early on... the confidence will build quick in a young team.

    First nine games should hold few fears with

    1. GWS GIANTS (11th)
    2. Essendon (15th)
    3. North Melbourne (8th)
    4. Collingwood (12th)
    5. Richmond (5th)
    6. St Kilda (14th)
    7. Gold Coast (16th)
    8. Western Bulldogs (6th)
    9. Brisbane Lions (17th)

    All winnable.

    Stars aligned dream run: top 4

    I think 7-10 is quite realistic however

    I think we are a genuine chance to make the 8. Overall, I thought we played our best footy this year against the better teams. Soon as we can figure out how to win all of the games we should, we wont be far off September at all.

    Can't remember the last time I was this excited for the upcoming season!

    I am going for 10 to 12 in 2016 but look out other teams in 2017!

    The TAB doesn't think we're going to do much next year.

    6-7 wins with a projected finish of 16th.

     

    That would mean no improvement. I'm confident in saying that they'll be wrong. We may not make finals, but we'll improve on 2015.

    For us to play finals we need 2 things to go right:

    1. No injuries to any key player (unlikely)
    2. Other clubs around the same mark having a poor season (e.g.- Saints, GWS, GC)

    I think if we finish 9th-11th it is a good result and still gives us something to work towards the following year.
    Individual player development as well as improved game day tactics is what I really want to see next year.

    I will be pleased with 9-11 wins next year. Will show that we're on the right track and hopefully would've beaten a mix of rubbish sides, middle of the road sides, taken a scalp or 2 of the top 6 sides and perhaps won a game or 2 interstate.

    Anything more is Disneyland stuff.

  • Quote

    My expectation for 2015 was 8-12 wins so Ill say the same again , hopefully we beat the teams below us on the ladder , and 3-4 above us . Would leave us somewhere 9th to 12th and with a lot of luck the f word comes into it at some stage . Start well and be in the 8 for six weeks or so . Confidence builder , would do the world of good .

    3. Players turning up to play on a weekly basis.

    If reports (from one of the moderators) of Frost being injured indefinitely are correct, it's not a good start to our 2016 campaign!

    I voted 5-8 but only because I felt optimistic and it was the better part of the range I think we will finish in which is 7-11.

    I think the poll shows what I have thought for this year in that we will be just in or just out of the finals. That would be a good result from where we were at 3 years ago when we weren't even really AFL standard and that fact was partly hidden by the new teams.

    I think after the recruits we've bought into the club, we're definitely a top 18 team.

    The Dees have more fire power up front and two mids come whatever else in Petracca and Oliver will make a difference. The problem is defence not enough class and injuries could be the deciding factor. 7th spot is achievable. Weideman will need time in the two's. Slaughter match will us being on the recieving end will be much less than 2015.

    I'm pretty optimistic about next year... Most supporters of every club are this time of year but I just have a feeling we've turned the corner. Yeah we put in some poor performances last year but we also put in some great ones and I think that inconsistency is behind us. I'd say we'll finish 9th-12th but with some luck finals isn't out of the question

    I agree with ENYAW and also think that too many Demonlanders are unnecessarily negative about our trading of next year's first round pick. Hopefully it will be pick 11-13 in any event, mostly due to us picking up Oliver with pick 3 this year!

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
