pre-predictions for 09

[coke_zero]

name 5 things that you think will happen over season 2009 they can be as simple as richo will play atleast 1 game or can be as far streched as JON will win the brownlow. and then when the season is finished we can see what we got wrong and what we got right.

mine are.
cogs will get 30+ touches in 3 or more games.
kane johnson will play a big role early on in the year.
brown will kick our most goals.
patto will improve alot.
we will finish higher then 7th.

 

[cormick]

Is "higher" meaning literally higher (8th-16th) or figuratively higher (1st-6th)?

1) JON will play at least 5 games
2) Morton will have a down year, with "second year blues" (even though it isn't his second year)
3) Connors will play less than 10 games
4) Polo will become a regular by season's end
5) Tambling will come top 6 in the B+F.

This seems to be a little out of context.

 

[St Francis]

1. Coughlan will be Best on Ground in Round 1 when he dismantles the Blues midfield.
2. Cleve Hughes will play 22 games at Full Forward.
3. Mitch Morton will be All-Australian Half Forward Flank.
4. Richmond will definatley win at least one finals game.
5. Dean Polo will be our most improved player at the conclusion of 2009.

Personally I'd be stoked to see this! it would mean that Cleve has finally found some consistency and prob been steady in front of goals...
We need the big unit to fire this year and seriously OWN the full forward position!!

4) Polo will become a regular by season's end
5) Tambling will come top 6 in the B+F.

1) JON will play less than 5 games
2) Morton will have an slightly better year, kicking around 40 goals
3) Connors "deserves" probably about 12 - 15 games, but will probably get around 10
4) Polo won't be a regular
5) Tambling won't be in the top 50 in the B&F.

I thought you were tongue-in-cheek when i read the number 1 point, until i read points 2 and 6.

I thought you were being serious until I read point five and the footnote. 6?

 

[SDM08]

Addendum:
Maybe we'll both be right. Bling won't be in the top 50 Brownlow B&F but will be in the Tiges top 6 B&F.

Appendix:
Assume makes an ASS out of U and ME.

[Wally Matera]

Is "higher" meaning literally higher (8th-16th) or figuratively higher (1st-6th)?

2) Morton will have a down year, with "second year blues" (even though it isn't his second year)
3) Connors will play less than 10 games
4) Polo will become a regular by season's end
5) Tambling will come top 6 in the B+F.

No disrespect cormick, but if JON, Morton, Connors, Polo and Tambling ever play in the same side this year, we are in for an absolute SHOCKER of a year.

 

[cormick]

No disrespect cormick, but if JON, Morton, Connors, Polo and Tambling ever play in the same side this year, we are in for an absolute SHOCKER of a year.

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?
