2021 Wooden Spoon

[Pessimistic]

My post on the first page on the money so far. Essendon doesn't get their first win till round 9, and that game is touch and go as well. Going to be a long year Bombers.

I reckon they show enough to have some success. Stringer in that team last night makes a difference (as does Wingard Gunston sicily too I suppose)

North yet to play but this thread is looking like a real contest

 

[Cadillac]

agreed.

I’m sure Dunkley is absolutely shattered he’s not able to be be a part of a footy club contending for a spoon in Tullamarine.

 

[Joey longshadow]

North or Fremantle...

 

[LukeParkerno1]

North or Fremantle...

Freo will win enough games

 

[who_let_the_dogs_out]

Freo will win enough games

Definitely. Much better side in WA, so much so that they'll avoid the bottom 4.

 

[evo]

Adelaide look decent. Essendon shortening as favourites?

 

[Joey longshadow]

Yeah mate... Just an opinion... I think they have the worst forward line in the game

They weren’t awful yesterday either despite half their side being injured

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Half are injured and are due back soon. Essendon are much worse

 

[FreeTK]

Fremantle are on the cusp of contending for the spoon.

They went in to the season with a lacklustre forward line, then lost Lobb for 12 weeks, Walters for 4 and Treacy for 4 weeks.

Given how they looked yesterday, and injuries to Pearce and Hamling, they could be inline for pick 1 this year.

Freo supporters should start looking at the 2021 draft pool and think who they'd like to pick.

Adelaide look decent. Essendon shortening as favourites?

North still Winx odds

 

[Jeremias]

North for sure IMO.

Hawthorn the only other contender.

Adelaide will win enough games to avoid it. As will Essendon.

Yeah, I had us winning possibly 4 games tops before last night so I’d be surprised now if we win more than 2.
We knew it was going to be a long year though

By enough do you mean 1 or 2 games

 

[Iceman!]

Nah they will win more than 2, not many bottom teams are that bad. Essendon, Hawthorn and Adelaide aren’t great but they are not 2 win teams.

 

[Jeremias]

Not a great start last night for your lot, but still think you’re good enough to avoid the spoon.

Well and truly in the conversation for bottom 4 though.

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

North for sure IMO.

Hawthorn the only other contender.

Adelaide will win enough games to avoid it. As will Essendon.

I'd say your mob isn't much better than ours. You got within 4 goals of Richmond big deal. Haven't proven your a better side than us yet. We have a few to come back in which will improve us alot. We're not a top 8 team but we're certainly not bottom 2. Pretty stupid statement.

Classic BigFooty response. I have nothing of note to add to the discussion so I'll call your post stupid and bring your club into the discussion just for the sake of it.

Sorry but I don't buy that it is a stupid statement purely because it differs from your over-inflated view of your own side.

Enjoy the win last night - was a great one - but I still think they will be few and far between for the Hawks in 2021.

I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Are you not happy with me having an opinion or do you just want me to agree with yours?

 

[Desync]

I hope it's us, Draft looks really good this year nice Chonky mids

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

Dodo will still take a flanker or KPD though

 

[Kangapirate]

I think it will be us, hard to tell until we get a few more senior players back though. Going about where you would expect against Port.

 

[Scotland]

North vs Essendon, classic 90s rivalry.

 

[JHF1870]

I think we can write Adelaide off this list. Remarkably they played well enough to exit the discussion.

North and Fremantle for mine. However I will need to see more of North. they did come up against a brutal outfit. I think most teams will be competitive this year.

 

[JayJ20]

It's hard to tell because we'd need to know how Hawthorn and Essendon go against others. Both likely bottom 4 sides though so certainly in the spoon conversation.
North seem a rung below so they're my spoon favourites, but Essendon, North and Hawthorn are early front-runners. We'll see what the win does for Hawthorn's confidence.

Adelaide and Sydney look good enough to avoid it. Sydney in particular may even make finals.
Might see a team like Collingwood, Fremantle or GWS come into bottom 4 calculations if the wheels really fall off.
