An early look ahead...

[hotham]

More of the same on field in 2018. Hoping there are some new faces in the coaching ranks.

 

[domiroo]

With the eveness of the comp its so hard to say.

What if we get a Richmondesque run with injury?

What if we employ a more pressure focused game style?

What if we get a midfield bolter or two?

All of these could lead to a serious bump up the ladder.

What if we win enough games ...

 

[shinboner magic]

No injuries - 4th
Injuries - 8th

Aren't you at port not crows

What if Ahern goes BANG?

What if Simpkin arrives?

What if Clarke goes to a wing and has a 500 disposal season (I tip this)?

What if Hibberd/Mountford etc. frees up LMac for a full time midfield role?

What if Wood & Garner string an entire season together?

why stop there,

what if our back six don't miss a game and become a unified team in themselves?

what if Daw gets through a full pre-season without injury and makes all the nay-sayers look stupid with his consistency and gameplay?

what if Cunners wins the Brownlow and BBB wins the Coleman?

and last but not least what if I win tatts?

There's dreaming and then there's DREAMING

 

[sootyfive]

If we finish bottom we get our hands on rankin then thomas

 

[sootyfive]

Sympkin ahern future midfield add our pick 4 to the midfield with class and tarryn thomas arriving next year in a super draft year. Garner, mcdonald to take the next step. Add all the other kids playing great football in 3 yrs we will be back but this time with classy kids

Neck tatts?

Anywho i see a further season of consolidation, wjth our new core of players hitting 2019 with 30 plus games to their names. Bottom four for mine. And im ok with that.

I expect 2019 will be when we start our charge.

[Only Forwards]

We will win a few games early and this joint will all of a sudden be way more glass half full than it has been for the previous 12 and a bit months.

well balanced prediction, pretty much sums up my bottom 6 prediction,

 

[Firestarter]

Whatever happens people will complain.

Bottom 6.

 

[SpiderBurton22]

well balanced prediction, pretty much sums up my bottom 6 prediction,

Equalisation has kicked in and the comp is bloody even. Now, more than ever a teams draw and injury list play a big part where you finish. I wouldn't be surprised if we finished bottom 6 but then I wouldn't be surprised if we challenge 8th spot.

 

[Samsquanch]

I misread.

Went early

Mcdonald to half back flank with Jack. Atley to back pocket. Thommo to CHB. BBB to forward pocket. Wood to FF. Clarke forward pocket. Ben to centre. Swallow on the ball. Lindsay loose in defense.

Selection is easy.

 

[sbdan]

Grand final or last? That seems to be some peoples ambition.

I like the finals. This month is brilliant when you are playing them. It sucks that we didn't make them this year.

I'm always happy when we make the 8. Anything can happen from there.

That being said, 2018 will be around 12Th.

 

[Horizons_00]

Bottom 6

Would love to be proved wrong but I am trying to keep it real

I would have Rovat instead of Swollow ..

snake would have dumont as well if he didnt run over his cat in the getaway car whilst ransacking his house.

 

[archereleven]

I think we'll end in bottom 3...

Our injury prevention has been diabolical the last 2 season's, with diagnosis and treatment in the same boat. We still don't have a 2 way midfield and will continue to get cut up on turnovers as we will continue to.play the yoof...

Not worried, but if we don't ascend rapidly in 2019 then we are going nowhere with Bard at the helm.

 

[The Dingrel]

All I want to see is everyone taking a step forward, and improving on last season being better for the experience. Each and every player improve, L Mac becomes an A grader, Garner regularly tears games apart, Neilsen and Durdin get physically stronger, Wood and Wright get themselves on the park and stay on the park. Jy pushes up for runs on the wing and starts logging regular 20 possession games. Dumont and Clarke avg 25 plus disposals, J Williams plays all 22 games etc etc

Put 'em any way you want.

My point is that we have a lot of good players and only a few holes to fill.

Yes but Swollow he is like that sausages on my BARBI . He is cooked .
