For what it's worth here's Mike's prediction for the Dees this year.

http://www.heraldsun.news.com.au/footy/com...5E19742,00.html

To be honest I have to agree with this statement.

"James McDonald, like Neitz, gives all he has to offer week after week. He is an invaluable soldier, but coach Daniher would prefer him to finish fourth or fifth in the best-and-fairest, not be the runaway winner he was last year.

McDonald polled 464 votes to finish 124 in front of Bruce.

If Bruce, White, Johnstone, Green and Yze were to fight out the award, Melbourne probably wins the flag."

Here's hoping for a great year.

not to be dismissing talks of a demon premiership this year, but mike sheahan and the heraldsun boys have been writing these articles every few days...they have built up more teams that are ready for a crack at the flag than i think realistically have a shot at it...having said that, i love reading positive articles actually related to football...all these other media reports talking about drugs, new rules etc have made this the most tedious preseason i can recall in all my years following footy

Pants its an interesting comment.

TJ has shown in bursts that he can play footy at the highest level. But its bursts and there are times where he just disappears. Frustrating

I loved Brock's game against the Saints last year. A couple more of those performances will really put him in the top shelf.

"Brock was fairly handy last year"

He sure was, and it was very exciting to see. Johnstone however, has had a number of quality performances. His game in the 2002 Semi against Adelaide when he almost single-handedly dragged us to victory was one of the best finals performances I've seen. In his next final, the 2004 elimination against Essendon, he dragged us back from the mire to lead us just shy of victory again. Had he a little more support from his teammates we would have won both. He was also recognised as one of our best in the 2000 GF massacre. Johnstone can be labelled may things, good and bad. Finals under-achiever isn't one of them in my opinion.

"I loved Brock's game against the Saints last year. A couple more of those performances will really put him in the top shelf."

Indeed. Hopefully he can sustain the form he showed in that great display. If there was any doubt as to his ability before that night, its gone now. Other teams will be giving him plenty of attention in Septembers to come.

HB - Bell Rivers Ward

C - Johnstone Bruce Bate

HF - Pickett Robertson Green

F - Sylvia Neitz Davey

R - White Mclean McDonald

Bench - Jones Moloney Bartram Jamar

Emer - Yze Brown Bizzell

I think his team is great. Went without a true CHF in favor of Robbo, which is not a bad thing.

The only change I would make is to get rid of Ward and add Chris Johnson

Intresting that he wrote off Bizzell, Brown and Yze but still found a place for Ward?

I would have thought out of those 3 fringe players and Yze, Ward would have been ranked last?

Sylvia as a small forward is probably the best spot to play him this year considering his OP.

Ward out. Dunn in. Or Miller if training the house down. Shuffle Pickett, Bate and Green backwards.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well …

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
