pre-predictions for 09

[Wally Matera]

I think both Connors and Morton won't do much. JON in for at least 5 games; he played two this year, so it's not inconcievable. (Is that a word?).
Dunno why, but I've suddenly taken to Polo.
And as for Tambling, I rate him highly.
So no disrespect taken. That make sense?

Understood mate...

My predictions:

- Jake King and Andrew Raines to have next to no impact on the year.
- Daniel Jackson and Shane Edwards will continue to be a bit parts player, always in and out of the side and never cermenting his position... but supporters will continue to dream.
- Joel Bowden to fly under the radar and have one of his best seasons.
- Shane Tuck to continue to be our best midfielder, even though no one seems to rate his contribution.
- Richo to unfortunately show first signs of ageing.
- We win 15 games, but our losses still continue to haunt... with a possible flogging that exposes our inner strength.

1. Cousins, Cotchin, both top 6 in B&F.
2. Jackson will play every game.
3. One of Thomson or Hislop will earn a regular spot.
4. Andrew Browne to show up Gus Graham.
5. Our lack of ruck depth will be exposed.
6. Patto will be no good as a forward.
7. We'll have more debutantes than in the last few years.
8. We'll get thumped by Adelaide and Sydney.
9. Richo will win the goalkicking and be just as good as last year.
10. JON will prove his critics ...

JON will prove his critics...?
You can't just leave me haning like that.

1. Cousins, Cotchin, both top 6 in B&F. Half-right.
2. Jackson will play every game. Tick.
3. One of Thomson or Hislop will earn a regular spot. Half-right.
4. Andrew Browne to show up Gus Graham. Looked good as the teams ran out in round one, but then so did our season.
5. Our lack of ruck depth will be exposed. Tick.
6. Patto will be no good as a forward. Tick.
7. We'll have more debutantes than in the last few years. Tick.
8. We'll get thumped by Adelaide and Sydney. Tick.
9. Richo will win the goalkicking and be just as good as last year.
10. JON will prove his critics ...

How did you go?
