Demon Dynasty?

By Matt Marsden on Fri, 18/03.2011

It has been a few very long years for Melbourne fans, but the light is well and truly visible at the end of the tunnel for the Demons on the brink of the 2011 season.

After making a slow but steady rise up the ladder last season, Melbourne could be potentially vying for a position within the top eight to play finals for the first time since 2006.

Looking at Melbourne's list, the amount of young talent they have is unbelievable. So far, the Demons have done well in turning potential into on-field results, but the majority of the young side are still yet to experience finals.

Of Melbourne's list, 36 players are 23 years of age or younger. If Melbourne are to make the finals this season, I can't help but think what could wait ahead for this young list of superstars. Jack Trengove, Tom Scully, Austin Wonaeamirri, Liam Jurrah, Nathan Jones, Lynden Dunn, Jack Grimes - the amount of names that you could roll off is near frightening.

Melbourne's last finals experience was back in 2006 against the Fremantle Dockers where they were downed by 28 points in the Semi Final. Melbourne may not go that far in the upcoming season's finals (if they make them at all), but with their last finals experience being so long ago, they certainly have something to shoot for.

It has been a long wait for Demons fans with not having their squad play finals for five years, but it has been an even longer wait between Premierships - their last flag was in 1964. With the side that Melbourne are building, you can't help but think that Melbourne could create somewhat of a dynasty in the next five years.

I'm not sure how we'll go

I'm not sure how we'll go this season. We'll probably play one bad game, two good games and then another three bad games lol.

Good write up though.

I really enjoy watching

I really enjoy watching Melbourne play and I think they will improve again this year, and hopefully even make the 8. But I'm not sure about a dynasty. It's just the wrong time to peak. One would think Collingwood will be the dominant team for the next 2 years and after that it'll be Gold Coast and maybe GWS as well. Maybe there's room for a Melbourne flag in 2013 before GC really hit their peak?
