Where will Melbourne finish in 2012?

Should be 2011's biggest improver. All Australian representation (Frawley and Jamar) and some very good recruiting will see them climb the ladder surely.
Scully, Trengove, Gysberts, Mackenzie = potential, potential, potential, potential or will the demons of their lack lustre past come back to haunt them?
Does Dean Bailey have the skills to make these boys into men?

i reckon top four

not premiers like wce 8)

Should be pushing for the 8. Don't think top 4 will come soon with the Likes of Geelong, Saints and Pies in the top 3 teams.

Have the talent, but do we expect them to mature so soon? Maybe give them another year or two with a little less pressure.

11th or 10th right behind eesendon... ;)

Next super power? Michael Voss believes the Demons are beginning to resemble the Lions before their golden premiership run.

Justin Bieber · September 19, 2010, 12:39:16 PM

They sure look it. But so soon? Maybe give them another year to gel before expecting a massive year.

Should be pushing for top 8 next season I agree.

This is kinda hard to explain but:

I think Melbourne won't break into the 8 themselves, I think it will be up to the amount of spots left if you know what I mean...

McRooster · September 19, 2010, 02:53:17 PM

Yeah I know what you mean Q, it will be the games that they win and the others that will lose that see them come out in front. :P

between 6th and 11th

Top 8. Looking forward to seeing them play. Hopefully will get to see more of them on free to air...

Melbourne ATM to win the flag $26.00
to make the GF $11.00
top four $5.00
highest placed Vic (inc finals) $21.00

Money will be on them shaping the top four but making the top four, meh! keep your coin ;)

Could be the team to take Carlton spot in the 8

Knowall · January 09, 2011, 11:16:41 PM

theyve got a great defence and improving exciting midfield just there forwards need to step up and be consistent if they can do that they can make the 8

Yes. Jurrah the next Franklin? Watts, Bate, Green, Petterd... a lot to like.

For Bailey to keep his job, think the Dees need to win 11 matches.

Developing a pretty strong, young forwardline.

Where will Melbourne finish in 2012?
