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.

    I'm looking forward to 2021 going down in history as the first flag of our premiership Deenasty.

    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.

    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.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
