Only one more weekend before the season kicks off! My Top 6 predictions ( if anyone cares )

Jindera
Brock Burrum
Howlong
Holbrook
Lockhart
Culcairn....

Teams to push for sixth
Osborne
Rand / Walb
Henty
Magpies

I think the league will be alot more even this year just going off comings and goings, Jindera will pick up the pace this year and bomber should kick another 100, along with big bradshaw from howlong spearheading Howlong. Brock burrum could go all the way after some finals experience from last year and i think Lockhart to be the big movers of 2011. Thoughts??

Jindera just have to much depth for my liking and I just can't see them losing it this year. But if they have injuries to their main drivers it could leave the door open. I think the paper was spot on this morning about bb, there bottom 6 just does not appear up to the task. For bb to be a real threat this year they will need glanville and guest to stay fit and focused. Mckimmie would need to fill schilgs shoes and do more then he did last year, mind u. Not that he had a bad year! Storey will need to maintain his form from last year also.

Luke gardner will be a good pick up, and I heard bill daily could kick a bagful from time to time too.

Holbrook will be up there because they have an easier draw And they have recruited well. Not sure about culcairn and howlong tho. But it should be a cracker of a season. Lot of competitive games. Looking forward to it.

Jindera
Holbrook
Howlong
Bb saints
Culcairn
Lockheart.

Henty did knock BB off in first round last year after they were expected to flog the swampies so maybe they might get themselves up again for another huge upset.

My tip of the round is - by the time Holbrook start next week they will be flag favourites. 2 late recruits the icing on the cake. The 'FIXTER', I mean Fixture they have also helps, so they will finish top 3 at least..... In saying that the top 3 or 4 are tight to split, so September will be a good watch. What a day to start the season. Happy to be in town to watch a good game of footy hopefully.

Can anyone give any insight into Charlie Cay's first game as coach yesterday? I know they lost but looking for opinions on his coaching style.
 
No real surprises with the results from the weekend. Culcairn must have started pretty shaky & Magpies look to have given the spiders a bit of a scare. Anyone watch either of these games?

Yeah rollin I saw the Cul/Henty game and I am not sure Cul were that shaky, Henty played good football for 3 qtrs,then the likes of fruey,gilsonn and klemke took control in the last...10 minutes into the last qtr Henty were still in front and look like they will push most sides.

I watched the BB vs Lockhart game. It was a pretty scrappy game. Both Teams were making very easy mistakes. missed marks and kicks. BB could have been 4 goals up within the first few minutes but couldnt convert. Umps were pretty average, there was alot of free's which were not given to both teams. I think BB were pretty lucky to get away with the win in the end, as they seemed pretty flat. I think BB come up against Henty next week, so it should be a very interesting match. Wouldnt be surprised if they knocked BB off.

The BMM stated that Howlong had no bench after 5 mins of the game so id imagine that wouldve played havoc with thier rotations.
Also noticed that former Spider Ben Nicholson was The Maggies best

Heard that Hickey may be one of them.Blog on the Upper Murray about how he forged another blokes signature on a clearance form to go to Bullioh-so you would imagine Bullioh would think he is playing there......

Nah wasn't talking about Hickey. Also don't think Fixter signed yet either, so think I missed the mark on that one. Reckon Holbrook will end up a bit short to push the top 3 or 4 sides unless they find a couple more, especially a key position.

From reading the sides in last weeks paper I can not see any backman in the comp who can go close to stopping Bradshaw, then Howlong also have Barnes next to him. Gonna be hard to stop them again. Jindera have the best option who is also their best forward (Hilton).

I still find the draw hard to cop, some of these sides don't get to test themselves until round 4 or 5 realistaclly.
