Thought i would start a thread to make an outlandish prediction for the year ahead, good or bad.

Here's mine..

Lynden Dunn will become of the Demons best players by the end of this season and will be handed the captaincy for season 2009.

Rivers and Whelan will play every game

Bruce will actually kick straight this year :P

1) Dees to start the season slowly before coming home like a train winning our round 22 match by 89 points to scrape into the 8 of % over Collingwood.

2) Once in the finals we then proceed to the Prelim with ease before coming up against a red hot Brisbane side, TJ kicks 3 we loose by 8 points.

3) YZE_Magic makes a run at the Demons Presidency after PG does not reapply for the role. On the back of his verbose, slightly off centre all about me campaign he scrapes in by 3 votes and MFC never looks back.

I agree that we'll have a slow start to the season, sadly.

But our second win will come against Carlton in round 5, and will be a corker.

2-3 then doesn't look so bad. And after that a bit of confidence comes in, we'll be getting close to the full list, and start winning games.

Into the eight with about 13 wins, win a home MCG final against an overated Collingwood...

and that's where my predictions end, because tipping well into the finals is just daft!

Dunn to breakout, possibly as CHB!!

After a disappointing year, Neitz, White and Yze will all play their farewell games in round 22.

I suspect a lot of truth in that one. ( though not sure if White's contract runs next year.. but he'd be clever to retire anyway )

Before the NAB debacle I had us at around 7-8... Im not so confident just presently with that..and might think 9-10

Idont see it as a year of being perennial easybeats. I think we'll have some good games and maybe more bad ones.. But they will only really be bad for not gelling properly. I still think we're definitely two KPP short of serious .competitiveness ( FB really concerns me ) .

I see it as a season of moments.. There wil lbe somepurple patches as some players find their 'groove thang " and get rolling.. A few stalwarts wil put in final efforts and out game wil lstart to shape up. There will be a changing of the guard as more and more of the youngens step up displacing some of the 'furniture'

I think the year wil be remmebered as one of "finds" as a few emerge from shadows to lay claim to permanent starting 22 status.

Who knows what injuries may play in the big picture...hopefully not much.

Probably not the year we'd book for our 150th but far from our worst.

go DEES !! :)

even year will strike again and we'll go top eight after a big push in the second half of the year, and will sneak a win in an elimination final. Wheels will play every game and finish top 5 in the Bluey

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
