I think we'll win ~8 games and beat one or two finals bound teams at home. End up with pick 5 or 6 used on best KPF available.

Yeah I meant we will hopefully be in the games late. Hopefully no games like last year v Rich/Dogs at home

They've done a few simpsons references now. I'm suspecting someone from BF has gotten a job at WCE.
I suspect Miguel and Kate’s year-long banter via the socials has blossomed and he’s our inside man.
Can only see us winning three of those
Miguel Sanchez
(Unique injury) TBC
Giants finished 16th, lost Taranto, Hopper, Bruhn and Hill and gained Toby Bedford.
Blues, Suns and Saints all missed finals and who knows what they’ll be like next year. Particularly St Kilda who have a new coach.
Winning a derby would be nice as well.
Shame we get Stk in the second half of the year, they will really struggle pre bye with a new coach, no King, Billings and Gresham underdone.

I think we will win about 5 games. The early part of the season looks really tough.

I hope you will be staying around in that period. From 2025, we will be back competing at the pointy end while your boys will be in a rebuild.

Yeah that's the big issue with it. We need a good start to build momentum but this fixture the start looks tough. Looking at it we could very well be 1-7. Basically playing the best sides straight up except round 1 against North. Hard to see us beating any of those sides outside round 1
How we getting wins against these more mature sides.
GWS
Freo
Melbourne
Geelong
Port
Carlton
Richmond
Prediction I suspect Simmo gone by round 8.

Freo always going to be twice. But Tigers and Blues is strange, surely GWS or Hawks twice.
Thinking more about this, there is a reasonable chance that both tigers and blues improve to be top 4 sides this year as well.
I doubt we’ll be in rebuild mode.
McCluggage, Berry, Rayner, Starcevich, Bailey won’t even be 30 yet.
We’ll get Levi Ashcroft as a father son, and provided they AFL leave the northern academies alone, we’ll hopefully get a few free hits from ours as well over the next 4 drafts.

Why? Wins and losses won't (or at least shouldn't) be our metric in 2023. If we're 1-7 and still playing insipid football then, yes, Simmo will be gone. But if we're playing attacking football, getting games into the kids, staying reasonably injury free and taking it up to some of these teams for 3-3.5 quarters then Simmo is doing his job.
I would rather be 1-7 after 8 rounds if we're showing positive signs for the future than be 4-4 or 5-3 and staring down a mid-table finish.

Yeah that's not how the AFL systems works. Simmo needs improvement and more wins this season or his done. Just how the AFL washing machine works. Simmo isn't a new coach so doesn't have the credits anymore.

I agree wholeheartedly that the Eagles need to improve or Simmo's job may be in jeaopardy. I don't agree that wins and losses will or should be the metric that decides his fate in 2023.
GWS is winnable.
Freo have had a lot of changes
Port... well which version?
Carlton - see Port
Richmond, they are a mid table team now. Not as scary as they were
We might be 1-7 but there are games in this range we should be competitive in.

Yeah that's it though. The first 8 games will be a deciding factor in Simmos future. After last season if we are not at least competitive in 5 of those first 8 games his a dead as dead can be. 2023 will be unforgiving in our football department. No 40 point + loses. They were lucky to survive 2022 with our performance onfield. Covid excuse gave this club a break. There's no excuses in 2023. Can you imagine another season like last year. Pressure is mounting big time on us and rightly so.
