Early season predictions from the experts …

Crystal Ball: Our predictions for the 2021 AFL season are in

Great Read FF.

Iv'e never seen so much amusing fiction , since I read some James Bond Novels.

However at least Barrett came up with the gem "...Clarkson and Kennett will come to blows..." 

But anyone could have tipped this come to think of it.

    Pretty sure Demonland's own crystal ball was more accurate and more adventurous, too.

    We are the experts, after all.

    Noakes had us in 8. Putting us behind Saints and Blues did not age well for some. These ladders show why we have been disrespected all year. The ongoing expectation we will fall over. It why our odds have been overs

    And those blokes are paid money to be "experts"?  No more of an idea than the average fan.

    To be fair they're just football journalists... Calling them experts is flattering. 

    Most of them wont mind getting us wrong too much if Port win the flag.

    I had us around the 6th-8th mark.

    The season has been terrific at helping us forget just how poor we were at times last season and horrendous the year before. Feel like we've only just won the full trust of all AFL media in the last month.

    The catalyst for this year was the disastrous 2019 season. That free fall was not a true reflection of our position. It allowed us to improve our squad with real top end talent. This list was always on talent top four it just required some proper leadership and soul searching a la Geelong 2006. Cam Mooney spotted it but just had his years wrong.

    Poor enough last year to have 107% !!

    and more wins than losses.

    ONE bad game in 2020 vs port 

    TWO others not great bs Dogs and Eagles

    TWO AFL and poor culture losses in CAIRNS

    Rest were wins by good margins and when our defence started to evolve we beat Saints and GWS.

    Looking back last 9 games were 6/3 so we started to launch part of our defence  style and 2020 was not wasted PLUS games into Dogga Kossie Riv  and Langers and Tommo.!!

    not so poor after all YB ???

    Would've been a brave person to leave them out after 3 flags in 4 years! A drop to 6th/7th sure but not outside the 8.

    The amount of these so called experts who put Collingwood in the 8 is staggering, blind Freddy could see them collapse down the ladder, with the stars they traded out.

    I'd argue that many of them are not journalists, just 'reporters'.

    Fair play to Goodwin in that interview, what he said has pretty much all happened (or could happen).

    Goody knows more in that interview than all the "expert scribes"!

    I am saying we were not POOR as much as you said and we set up some defence and learnings last season which have been extended this year in our plans and form.

    ie we weren't so poor as you said in 2020 in fact a good development year in prep for 2021.' Ph

    You need to read my statement. I said we were poor 'at times', that's all. You backed this up by stating the games we were poor. There weren't many of them yes but they were crucial games for us making the finals.

    I think we had an underrated year last year especially the way we built up form through the back part of the year. Internally the club was pleased with the performances especially in the hubs.

    Coming into 2019 I predicted over the next 3 years we would miss the finals at least once and make a GF at least once.  Needless to say it wasn't looking good in March this year!  but I'm happy to brag about it now (well soon hopefully!)

    improvement is rarely linear with a young team

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
