Forget predictions - the truth will be out there by round 6.

a lot in that

I can see the Board when we are 0-2 with all the usual spin but if we are say 2-4 it's almost season over... it certainly would be at say 3-6.

That was what was so disappointing about 2019... you could see the season was lost relatively early.

4 -2 and I'm on the bandwagon

4 -2 and I'm on the bandwagon

For most of the last 10- 15 years we long suffering fans have been able to confidently book September holidays by round 6.

After much study and crystal ball gazingI think we will win 12 games in 2020 and scrap into 8th place.

Win the first final and lose the second. It is hard to imagine we could have the levels of injuries as this year.

Gawn will be a Dual captain with Viney, sadly he will once again miss a goal from 30 meters out in the dying minutes of the first game and see us go down by 3 points.

The Weid will play 15 games and kick 25 goals. Pickett will play 14 games and win us the first final. 

Spargo will spend the year at Casey.

I predicted last year we would miss finals but still make a GF in one of the next 3 years.

2020 is the year. Top 4 finish and we make the GF (I won't ruin the surprise by saying if we win or not)

Clarry to win the brownlow

May to be AA

Viney to win the BnF

of the 5 losses we have, some on DL still blame Goody after each one

 

Harley Bennell plays at 80%+ his previous capacity from the bye on and most other things going right - we win the flag.

Fritsh to kick 50+ goals

This is a serious chance of happening imo, he will go to another level next year, capable of kicking big bags, most natural classy forward i have seen at Melbourne since liam jurrah

Quite profound, Paul, and more likely to be true than anything else here. 

Goodwin sacked after Round 6, replaced by Yze and Lewis working together

OMac traded for free to the Filth as an incentive for the trade of the Weed

From Round 7, Dees win every game and play in GF (and winning the Premiership)

Preuss kicks 80 goals at FFwd, Jackson nabs 50 for the year

Oliver wins Brownlow

Pickett wins Rising Star and kicks 60 for the year

Vanders returns in 'break out' fashion

Membership hits 80K

Gawn becomes Co-Captain with Viney

I agree with your last item.

The rest not so much, 190 goals between 3 players hmm ...........

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 


We learn how to handle the Media, and they start to love us because we don't start making stupid predictions about the season.

Only Club reps with an IQ above 100 are allowed to talk to the Media.

We invite all the Umpires to come to the Club incessantly instead of going to Cats or Bummers period....

Razer gets an all expenses trip to Los Vegas or The Vatican depending on how he bounces, after the GF no strings attached...

Petracca is  ready and will bring his A game.

May  and Lever will be injury free  and will lead the back line.

Langdon  and Tomlinson  will prove they are worth their salt. 

Oliver to win the Brownlow by a country mile.

Gawny to be AA again. 

Goodwin to be coach of the year.

The sky is the limit. Why not we have the team.

Dream if I may However we are good enough.

Bring on 2020.

 

10-12 wins but if everything goes well we might win 1 or 2 more games and gain a finals spot.  Maybe.

  • Forward line may well remain a bit of a problem although it will improve.   Hopefully the yips disappear.
  • Our backline is highly dependant on Lever & May standing out but we need to see some real dash out of defence (turning defence into attack has to be the mantra)
  • Our clearance work needs to improve a lot too - especially 'clean' clearances.
  • Pace & quick ball movement should improve as well but we still might have some disposal issues
  • The better sides will still have our measure (from an overall perspective) but there are at least 10 sides that we have a chance of beating.  And we play some of those teams twice. 
  • We'll regain respect though especially if we can somehow gain a finals berth.  2 or 3 extra wins could happen if I'm wearing my optimistic hat

And if the above happens Goodwin will remain as the coach.

The media will be most unhappy not having any club reps to talk to. 


Turning defence not attack as Macca said with addition that attack needs to be converted.

We first win respect by beating the 10 sides that Macca says we are better than and then enhance that respect by beating the sides  he suggests have our measure.

We use the entire squad sacrificing some for specific matches to provide or exploit opposition match ups.

We initiate surprises by complementing established structure with surprise unknown selections.

We are able to play several styles and structures during and between games to produce an element of uncertainty for our opponents.

Plenty to be positive about

We’re back again boys and girls. Time to rub your balls and lay down your predictions for 2020. For those who aren’t too scarred after last year.

Team or player. Good or bad. Coke or Pepsi. The ball gazer closest to the pin with their quality and/or quantity of accurate predictions will win the heralded Demonland Crystal Ball.

A template is too restrictive. You predict whatever you want. That’s the point ?

It’s always chugged along just fine until this one year where people kept whining about there not being a template.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
