2009 Predictions!

December 28th 2008 13:23
Melbourne
Position at end of season: 16th - They stil have ALOT to do when it comes to developing these so called youngsters and new draftees before they can even think of coming back into finals contention. While they may be on their up the dees they have to start bloding the newebies and youngsters and that may mean making some harsh decisions on the older or middle aged players. Then they need to decide which ones to play consistantly and then pick out which ones to hold onto and which ones to delist or trade. Then in a few years after that they should be back on track and thinking about finals. Overall it should be another 3-4 years around this end of the table.


Best an Fairest winer: Nathan Jones - He has the potential but he stil needs to add that extra dimension to his game and get some consistecy into his game aswell. He can win his own ball and has the skills to go with it and he could develop into a Sam Mitchell type figure in a side trying to get on its way up.

Leading Goalkicker: Russel Robertson - He maybe on the other side of his career now but there is no doubting Russel Robertsons ability as a forward. He is stil the dees main avenue to goal now that neitz is gone and there is no reason why he cant return to his best goal wise.

Best New Talent: Jack watts - Anyone could've guessed it but im seriousely considering that Watts could be the next big thing for the dees if they play him earlier enough in the season. If he can get the pace and physicallity of the game quick enough early in the year he could be a big part of meblourne in 2009.

Fallout player 09: Brad Miller - He needs a big year this year and if he doesnt perform it could most well likely be his last. He is in a team that is willing to blood the youngsters and give the outsiders a go and miller isnt very young anymore at 25 he is suposed to be in his prime but somehow at times he cant find a permanent spot in the team and a role or "niche" in the side.
