1.. Luke Jackson to take the next level as he has had a taste of what to expect. Pinch hit in the ruck

2.  PETRAC  and  OLIVER to become an unbeatable combination and catapult us to the top of the ladder.

3. To play home  games on the MCG.

Good idea for a thread. 
 

Having Stars

May, Lever, Petracca, Oliver, Gawn, Langdon, and Viney are comforting group of players to have as a base to work from. We should be in every game.

Genuine Small Forward

Pickett is a genuine talent and if he can calm down his final two steps with the footy he will be amazing. Has a left foot, super quick, good closing instincts and can tackle.

Genuine Full Forward

Desperation

Everyone will be under the Sword of Damocles and I think that is healthy for our progression back to relevance to not be satisfied with 9th.

The prospect of going to a game at the MCG excites me most.

It might not happen straight away, or at all (depending on your level of optimism/pessimism about the world), but that excites me more than anything else right now.

Didn't really get into the Ramones. I remembered the song tho. I liked the Dead Kennedys and Bad Religion.

Great bands, I have live gigs up there with going to the footy for my 2021 hopes.

Seeing Jackson develop, he really looks like he could be something special.

Seeing Kozzie hopefully get more confidence and a cool head to finish some of his great work.

Watching Petracca, not much else needs to be said he's just a joy to watch.

Hopefully actually seeing a game live.

Lots of looking back and looking at trades.. but what excites you about the Dees in 2021. Some positive re-enforcement for us all.

give us 3 Things: 

1. Trent Rivers - Took a little while to find his feet but by the endo f the year played like a mature 100 gamer. Tough, composed, Skilful and the ability to develop into a mid is a great sign. Really liked his first year.

2. Adem Yze - Will be interesting to see the input and how quickly there are signs that his style and influence is being absorbed. Watching how Goodwin interacts with him will be fascinating

3. Christian Petracca - Those who have some football intelligence (all of us) will know that was his second pretty impressive year, others will say he just exploded and needs to do it more to be in the Dusty mould. in a 22 game season, he may just find even more gears to go and watching him in a final would be something else. 

I agree with your comments above but on Yze I see something that has been missing from the MFC for quite awhile and that is a devotion to the jumper and by that I mean a dedicated former Demon assisting and hopefully helping to lead the "Demon" way  of  Red and Blue Passion. Ask yourself when was the last time a former "D" was in the Football department leading the way by "Demon" example... Todd Viney was the last former Demon to coach our team back in 2011. Personally I would like to see Brad Miller back at the Demons even though he left in 2015 to move to Sydney.....as he has a great football brain in my opinion but that may be difficult due to his wife acting commitments and residing in NSW with his actress wife

The walk through the Gardens, crunching  autumn leaves, confident, excited, happy, the walk back to the car crunching the leaves a bit harder. I say to my son, great win mate/well it was good to sit and chat and get out anyway. I think a few blokes are only a year or two away.

Don't quote me Ohio David USA but the news may not have hit your fly over State With Trump trying to  look like re-election material.
Brad and Pia parted ways about 3/4 years ago but both have a hand in Access to their children.

I would stand corrected if this is not the case as tjis is the last I have heard in that time.

As fir Brad coming back nit sure what skills he had in an largely underWhelming career with us.

Am astonished that @Bitter but optimistic hasn't weighed in on this topic yet.

 I did consider giving everyone the benefit of my wisdom Trigon but as my suggestions would likely be considered immoral, possibly illegal and undoubtedly offensive I felt discretion the wisest course of action.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
