My wishlist (x 10) for 2011

[Biffinator]

Comrades, here are mine.

1. Jurrah to play 22(+) games.
2. Scully to sign mid-year.
3. Dunn to kick 40 goals
4. "Saints Footy' with all that defensive crap to die in the arse
5. 12 victories (minimum) - of which one is to be in West Horsham and another in Perth.
6. What the hell: 40,000 members
7. More suspensions - for calculated displays of aggression (not mindless stupidity)
8. Spencer to kick a goal.
9. Tapscott to win the Rising Star
10. Jim to be with us on 31st of December.

What are yours?

 

[Darksidepoints]

I'd be bloody wrapped if all that came true, especially Jimmy still kicking on.

For me, it would be having a real crack at the finals. We came pretty close last year, but this year with a better draw and (hopefully) stable FWD line, I think we can have a red hot go.

 

[MFCforever]

we win 14 games.
we don't loose to GC.
we get 80,000 at Queens birthday clash and win!
Jimmy keeps fighting.
we win at AAMI
Sylvia kicks 60m bombs
we beat a team by 100 pts
Dunn keeps his mo
Watts takes mark of the year.

James Frawley.

My wish is no more long term injurys to our best 22 so we can have no excuses.

 

[Demon 16]

Make finals would be my biggest wish.

Other than that just continual growth from our young group including the ones we havnt seen much of yet.

 

[Supermercado]

* Unheralded young player to come from absolutely nowhere and show a heap of promise.
* Somebody to kick a bag of 7+
* All of the original list

Absolutely bloody fantastic list, agree with every one, esp no. 10

I'd also love to see Blease and Strauss show us why they were so highly regarded as juniors and cement spots in the seniors.

 

[richskee]

1- Make the finals in 2011
2- Membership hist 35+
3- Grimes, massive breakout. THE NEXT HODGE
4- Sylvia plays consistent gun footy
5- Jurrah kicks 40+ goals
6- Scully and Trengove burn
7- Jimmy beats his cancer
8- Beat Collingwood by after the siren
9- Green kicks 55+ goals
10- Petterd continues his form from last year

 

[Flyswatter]

[*]Dunn to kick 40 goals

I reckon if this one eventuates then the team as a whole is probably going well.

I'd also like Maric to prove us all wrong and earn another contract.

 

[stretcharmstrong]

Mine are much the same as everyone elses:

1. Our backline to standup and continue to improve without Chip, or with Chip underdone.
2. All of Watts, Jurrah, Dunn, Petterd to kick 30+ goals (probably unrealistic but hey...).
3. Green to kick 50+.
4. All of Tapscott, Strauss, Blease to get games and show some glimpses of goodness in the seniors.
5. Membership 35k.
6. Morton to come up to where most of us think he should be, owning a wing.
7. Sylvia to play 22+ games, be consistent and play 90% in the middle.
8. Jamar and Grimes to get through the season uninjured.
9. Beat North and Carlton and win at AAMI.
10. Have Jim around and healthy to see us play finals!

 

[Pjkimber]

Speaking of Jim. If he passes on this year (god hope he does not), if the boys could not get up and produce something special, footy would be dead to me.

 

[AllenJakovich13]

Beat the Following teams: Collingwood, Carlton, St Kilda, Hawthorn

 

[Headless]

1. Jim keeps fighting, and wins.
2. We play finals footy.
3. No long-term injuries.
4. We win at least 11 games.
5. Watts plays 22 consistent games, including one bag of 5+ goals.
6. We beat Carlton and North Melbourne.
7. We win in Adelaide.
8. We win more first quarters than we lose.
9. Jamar earns selection as the starting All-Australian ruck.
10. We bury a team by 100+ points.

 

[WATTSJURRAHDUNN]

All in all the boys to do everything for Jimmy, that said:

1. Play finals footy (13wins maybe req.)
2. To beat Collingwood
3. At least two of -Jurrah, Green, Dunn, Watts- to kick 45 each
4. To find a genuine forward pocket who can both crumb and snap
5. For Sylvia and Grimes to play all games
6. To smash a few teams by 80+
7. To have minimal & minor injuries to all of list
8. To win 3 on the road including another in Darwin
9. Tapscott, Gysberts and at least one new recruit to show some talent
10. Not lose to Gold Coast, ever

 

[KickLongTackleHard]

For our gameplan to be executed well enough for us to be able to say that when we have it up and running, we are a very hard side to beat. i.e Dean Bailey to gain respect amongst the footy public.

 

[MFCforever]

No bring back Miller in that lot?

Oh yeah forgot Newton finally gets delisted!

 

[Demon 16]

To smash Norf by 15 goals.

 

[Hagar]

I can't think of anything outside what's already been posted.

Qualifying for the Finals and positive news on Jim's health would be the 2 things highest on my wishlist for 2011.

Beat Collingwood on Queens Birthday would be pretty sweet as well. A win over here in the west should be taken as a given. I hope.

 

[Flyswatter]

10. We bury a team by 100+ points.

This would be nice to see again, been a while... was it Carlton last time?

 

[Flashhh]

This would be nice to see again, been a while... was it Carlton last time?

The game when Bruce kicked 6? Could have been 95 but not sure.

 

[Supermercado]

Round 6, 2004. 105pts

http://wiki.fcmelbourne.com.au/Round+6+2004

 

[Gazza_11]

8. We win more first quarters than we lose.
10. We bury a team by 100+ points.

Two big ones. A lot of games last year we only lost because of really bad first quarter's. Match the opponent in the first quarter, and we'll win a lot of games.

For the second, we just need to close out games like the Sydney one. 91 points up, and we let them peg us back 4 goals.

 

[Pjkimber]

1. Jim is still with us at the end of the year

2. Watts to get angry! I wanna see him get some mongrel and start roughing blokes up...lock him in the boxing ring with beamer for a week and he is not allowed out until he gives beamer a black eye!

3. Green to kick 50+ goals again.

4. Jurrah & Dunn to kick 30-40 each

5. Col Sylvia to finish top 5 in the brownlow

6. The prize for mark of the year to be given to Liam Jurrah right now...we all know he is going to win it anyway.

7. Gysberts & Grimes remain injury free.

8. Win more first quarters.

9. More FWD 50 Entries

AND MOST IMPORTANTLY...

To beat Collingwood queens birthday! Watts and Jurrah to kick 5 each, Sylvia to run along the wing and throw some pie scum away like a piece of rubbish...again and the likes of Scully, Trenners and Gysberts to get a lazy 25+ touches each!

Herald Sun article the next day.... DEE-MOLITION!
