Tough year ahead for the Bulldogs, really going to split the supporter base.

 

[chardy]

Tough year for the dogs?

Not sure where that comes from.

A defence that has improved over the last 3 years.

A midfield that is just below geelongs.

Has vetrans that are having impact but aren't relied on.

Most of all has depth.

The only thing the dogs need to prove. Can they win ugly when the game turns into a slog. Nearly did in prelim.

I'm usually pretty realistic when it comes to my team. But i do expect barring no injuries and everyone avaliable my team will be in 2010 grand final. I never had this expectation before a season.

I think there are only a few teams each year that really go into season with that expectation. next year i think there are 4. Geelong, St kilda, dogs and Pies.

Have a closer look at the prediction.

14. Melbourne- Come on, Melbourne. You've been telling us now for three years you're on the improve and that you've drafted 'future superstars'. You've recruited and recruited but have delivered diddly squat. It's now or never, Melbourne.

what kind of stupid comment is that? Why would you expect a team to immediately improve because they have had some high draft picks? Was Jack Watts supposed to win the brownlow in his first year of footy? We will be at our peak at 2014/2015 and next year probably climb 2 or 2 spots , that's it. Staggeringly stupid comment but not out of place on this site.

 

[}>-DEMON-<{]

I've noticed a few people say that Fremantle have no heart

Can You Feel the PASSION?
And trust me. The addition of 23 draftees in just 13 months has doubled the teams heart.

that's pretty great

Essendon may or may not make finals, but I can guarantee we will finish higher than the demons thats for sure!

you can't gaurantee squat you cretin, 96 point loss in an elimination final... you Dons fans sure get carried away over nothing

 

[MF]

Yeah I do watch AFL a little.
Someone has to finish last, so I nominated Sydney - after an unimpressive 2009.

After seeing you predict a bottom four finish for your team next year I couldn't help but lol at your signature.

So the Dees will be back in the lofty upper echelon of the bottom 4?

Impressive.

has there been one post in this thread that doesn't have the poster's side in the 8. I don't know about you, bnut to have North, Fremantle and Power in the 8 doesn't make sense. While I think the first two will improve, I just don't see them finishing in the 8, especially North. The only two sides I can that were lower than 10 last year and could make the finals are;

West Coast-Just an all round quality young list, midfield still lacks leading presence but they've got a quality ruck divisin and forward line too
Sydney-Good recruiting from trade week plus good drafting means Sydney will rebound and avoid a rebuild...for now
Melbourne-(I know it defeats the purpose of my post but I just think we're a wild card. We all saw the talnet with the 10 goal win against Freo and the West Coast game and I just think that we have a game plan and determination that will surprise everyone and give coaches a headache. The deadwood is gone and I think a top 10 finsih looms. may well sneak into the 8 due to pure tactical surprise as well as the maturing of key youngsters like Morton and the return of players like Grimes, Woneaemirri and Garland (I hope!)

Longmuir got delisted, no?

isn't he going to be your coach in 2011

 

[Wally Carter]

Lol

He truly spends his entire life tripping.

He is puzzled that people rate a team that has beaten his own side on the last 5 occasions by an average 42 points can make the top 8, yet he rates his own side that has a 15.9% win ratio over the last 2 seasons as the dark horse for the 8.

Hilarious.

Just an opinion mate I just don't see North running the season through. I see North being a Premiership Contender in 2011 actually



But-In a Bay 13ish manner-You have a ****ing new coach with no experience! get off your high horse FLOG

 

[Tulip]

He truly spends his entire life tripping....



Hilarious.

mmmm
