 Geelong go downhill as their aging core players fail to maintain their previous levels. 

We can only hope.
Till they cherry pic a couple guns.

 

If Goodwin has aspirations to be a long term AFL Coach, we will play finals in 2020 and win more than we lose

I think the Burgess appointment is going to help shape a very different Footy Dept. 
 

An improvement. About 9th or 10th. Maybe 2021 back to the finals

 

Demons to finish in the top 6

All of rivers, Pickett and Jackson to have debuted by round 12. 

Both Hibberd and Jones to play more vfl games than afl in 2020. 

Trac to be in the AA squad and finish top 4 in the B & F. 

Langdon also to finish in top 4 in B&F

KK and VDB retire before the season ends 

Bennell to make a successful comeback and play 5 + games 

Brown plays 15 games or more in 2020.

A thread like this needs template 

 

I predict leishman will come close to a major again

so will scott

some unknown yank or obscure scando to win pga and us open . Or koepka both

 

isn’t this golf predictions?

 

 

trac Brownlow 

Golf is easier to predict than our team.

Watching the end of last season, I don't think the culture and heart is there.

Slight improvement and will finish 10th


Melbourne predictions

Demons finish 10th due to a standard Melbourne late season capitulation after hovering around 6th for most of the second half of the year

BnF - Clayton Oliver, who also makes All Australian team

Leading goal-kicker - Fritsch, kicks 45 goals as a stay at home forward

Langdon to surprise and finish top 5 in our BnF

Petracca to make All Australian squad, but not team. He plays mostly midfield but is named as a forward. He also finishes top 5 in our BnF.

Gawn again the dominant ruckman, but misses a few weeks with injury and thus misses out on AA team

Rivers our best first year player

Jones and Hibberd retire, both spending time in the VFL as the season progresses

TMac struggles for goal-kicking form again, despite playing whole year up forward

 

Other predictions

Premiers - Richmond

Wooden Spoon - Gold Coast

Brownlow - Marcus Bontempelli

Coleman - Tom Lynch (Richmond)

Rising Star - Matt Rowell

Coleman?

if we had  decent IQ's, we probably wouldn't be on this site

AVB 'rag dolls' Selwood in the Prelim and kicks a point from the resulting free.  This breaks the deadlock as the siren sounds.  Selwood whinges to the ump that it's 'not fair'.  Saty, George, Baghdad, Dee Spence and Deespicable are among 15,000 'faithful' at Thursday training before the Granny, and provide the usual comprehensive  and insightful training reports.  Tracc and Kozzi put on a clinic in the Granny as we waltz away with #13.  All Demonlanders have a late night.   SWYL pronounces that all shortcomings of the MFC in the past 56 years are forgiven.

Pity we have to wake up !!

i can see

an even first half of the season

win the first and another 5,

but in the second half lose the first 4

and win the majority of the rest and we finish somewhere 7-10 but with the form to win it if we get to September.

but an exciting year worth watching and no blowout losses, because the backs May, Salem, Lever and Harmes work too well for other teams to exploit.

GoDees!!

By 1st July, the club will announce the location of our new state-of-the-art training facility.

I really hope your crystal ball is being honest with you on that one Frog.

Burgess inspired, super fit Demons, best 4th quarter team in the league, resulting in 15 win season for 5th position.

Win 2 finals. 

AA: Max, Oliver, May, Petracca

Viney fully fit wins B&F - many Demonland posters retract trade request!!


My Crystal ball:

Demons finish regular season in fourth.

Petracca to stamp himself as a match winner in a couple of big games, like the Tigers Anzac Day Game.

Pickett to be first draftee to play, getting 5 games.

Weid to gain confidence over the first half of the season, becoming a handful for defenders and a fan favourite with his attack on the footy after the bye.

Our new wings to really making a structural difference, enhancing transition and delivery.

May and Lever to find their groove and become a seriously scary set of players in a strong back 6.

In non demons news:

North to drop like a stone with poor culture, Adelaide also on the slide

Brisbane to settle back to lower top 8

Doggies to play hot and cold, but their hot is red hot.

Tigers get big heads and dont apply the same pressure across the park and get caught out more often.  

Gil to be a complete Dill on at least 3 occasions before the bye.

The MRP is still a farce, playing favourites and being too difficult to even guess who will get rubbed out, who will get a fine and who will be Paddy Dangerfield.

Top 5 goal kickers

1 -    Fritsch     65
2 -    T Mac     47
3  -    Melksham   36
4  -    Petty   29
5  -    Petracca  27

We would win the flag if that happened however I won't hold my breath.

 

We'll win the premiership and Steven May will make AA alongside Max, Clarry, Tommy and Trac. Harmesy makes squad but just misses.

 

Greta Thunberg will be appointed to the board of Shell.

Bloomberg will run against Trump in defence of the poor and underprivileged.

All the presenters and contestants of "The Block " will die in a horrific building collapse captured on camera and presented in prime time.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
