im off beams also but i have a feeling that he is going to get the nod ahead of sidebottomIn all honesty, im jumping off Beams now.
Collingwood is alot stronger than it looks, and might struggle to fit both Sidebottom and Beams into the team.
I'm sure you're right !! I didn't do any checking on him @ all, I just saw him mentioned a few times, so thought I would add him to the poll !!
Why yes
wce players are going to get games but its hard to expect them to pull out years like cyril, palmer or dalziell because they will get demolished by most teams.
re palmer, freo finished 14th last year.
i expect west coast to finish higher than 14th unless our injury list is worse than last year, which you'd think is highly unlikely.
Freo were very competitive for 3/4 of the season, it just happened to fall neatly within 3/4 of every game. As for West Coast, I can see them pipping Melbourne and one of Essendon or Freo, but maybe not both. Most of the rest of the bottom 8 look to be on the up, and I doubt the sliders are going to fall that far.

If you guys finish higher than 14th then who do you think will finish 14th and 15th (Melbourne 16th most likely) I don't think it will be the Bombers or Freo either.
I can see another long year coming up for the coasters.
And Carlton are going to win the flag.. your full strength team getting flogged by Freo in bunbury was to lull the opposition into a false sense of security.
I think the competition in general will be alot close this year. You forget that last year and even during this pre-season we were missing alot of players. I see us around 10-12 this year.
Btw i think our long seasons will end alot sooner than Carlton's recent run of 'long seasons'.
I do hope for your sakes that the Eagles go better than last year and I love Coxy too, he's a champ.
Its all good Sparts, just having a bit of friendly opposition banter.
If the Eagles finish higher above us though then I will start believing in the Easter bunny!

masten and ebert are quality, i dont know if brown and swift can put up scores especially is brown is playing alot in defence. don't know too much about cockie but have heard big raps

Playing in a shit team doesnt automatically translate into a shit score for youngsters. I can see guys like Masten, Ebert, S.Selwood etc all improving and guys like Brown, Swift and Cockie (if he gets elevated) putting up half decent numbers.
