We can have a good year, but for us a good year doesn't necessarily translate into finals footy.
We will have a good year, but we won't make finals in 2008.

We will finish somewhere in the bottom 4.
But with less thrashings as years gone past.

I think we can if certain players step up.

Not that good. Our best players are just too early in their development right now. I'm shooting for finals in 2008.
We can make the finals this year, just as Quinten Lynch can win the Coleman . Possible, but highly unlikely. I think the club will be happy with 6 or 7 wins minimum, before challenging for the eight in 2008.

Anything is possible!!!
All we need is for Walker, Murphy, Whitnall, Fev, Ackland, Thornton and a Waite/Fisher to really click and have a consistent year. Stevens,Scotland and Houlihan need to give us that drive and use their skills to lead the ball movement on the ground.
A cameo or two every game from a Gibbs, Kouta, Cloke, Kennedy and Lappin inspiring the team!!!
It doesn't take much....
Our team through all this pain is developing HEART... using that heart, blend it with some determination and improving skills.... ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!
If we have a good start in the first 5-6 games of the season... that could be a catalyst to really let us see some results!

Yes. Given the talent we have on our list, without question. But that is not the priority this year. We have a very young list with a large proportion of those players are badly lacking experience and trying to establish themselves. This year is all about gaining experience and some stability in our team structure., not about sneaking into the 8 for some short term appeasement. The goal is to develop a young side to win a string flags. Nothing else.

Wouldn't have thought so. I have us pencilled in for somewhere between 6-9 wins, with less thrashings, and being more competitive for greater periods in the game. I really think 2008 will be the year when we surge up the ladder.
jj1978 - very well said.
ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE IN SPORT!!!
Anything.
And yes, we CAN make the top 8 this year. Any of the 16 teams CAN make it.
It's just up to whether or not we WANT to.
I think it's possible that we will challenge a lot of teams this year, and may be knocking on the 8.
Anything is possible....
Didn't Collingwood finish 2nd last in 2005? And didn't they play finals in 2006?
It can happen. And when it does, I'll be happy

Put it this way - Matthew Kruezer will take us into the 8 next year.

Calm down AWG, I'm pretty sure C4 is taking the pi$$.
Who's Kruezer?
And why would we be getting him??
For God's sake C4. Stop the crap with wanting to tank, even for a joke.
You're meant to want your club to succeed.
And tell me why we'd even need another ruckman when we have signed Ackland for 3 years, then we have Aisake, Jacobs and Hampson all coming through.
We're not finishing last. Perhaps if you want Kruezer that badly, yo'ull have to change clubs, coz he's not coming to us via no.1 NAB draft

Yeah we CAN make it - if we have no injuries and all our players play better than they ever have before and we hit some targets and every other club is decimated by injuries we just might sneak into the 8. Please - let's be realistic about this. We cna't expect the kids to carry us up the ladder in one season, they'll take time to develop.

Im just thinking that this year well be around 12/13, whereas next year we will (hopefully) come close to a top 4 position, maybe 5/6
We'll be lucky enough to even finish the season playing all 22 games, without be merged or moved interstate the way we're going at the moment
