You're right, Hawthorn will be super interesting. Think we should be able to outpoint them in the middle of the ground but they'll definitely make us work. Just looking forward to seeing us bed down some consistency of effort this season, the results should follow given how talented our team is.
I know it's early days, but the biggest thing I'm looking forward to is consistency. Cerra + Hewett = consistent. Pressure = consistent. Standards and expectations during each game = consistent. Skills = consistent.

We are not top 4 or bottom 4 side so I am thinking around 9 th or 10th.

If we can give get some momentum and confidence after the first five or six games (something we havent done for some time) we may just sneak into the bottom of the eight.
I actually think we are now top four … time will tell … too early still to make outlandish claims though … we will win the flag …. Opps
 
not sure that I agree with the predictor for Geelong but the rest of it looks pretty bang on

reviewed the games it predicted and changed a couple of them but I had us at 5-6 before I did this

Good to see we're also excelling at keeping a lid on things after literally decades of painful mediocrity.

* finishing 16th after being clear flag favourites would be a hilarious fall from grace.
 
All things being equal, 7th-8th.

But this is going to be a weird season. With the new variant of COVID coming (apparently 30%-50% more transmissible) I have the feeling there's going to be a lot of luck involved either way with clubs this year. Aside from the usual good fortune you need with injuries, it's inevitable that some teams are just going to be luckier than others with this thing - either getting cases to key players, or getting to play a disproportionate number of teams who've got players out of action.

The slight rub of the green could see us top 6.
Reckon there could be a few surprises. Wouldn't like to have to earn my living betting on footy this year.
 
I had us decidedly mid-pack, but if we get up tonight I might start a lid business tomorrow, cos they'll allllllllll be coming off.
If it's a scrap and we win by like 3 points, lid is on, finish 6-8.

IF we dismantle the Dogs systematically and professionally, then the lid is unsealed and we could be anything.
 
With our best ten or so playing good footy, probably better.

It's about getting the bottom 6 or so to maintain standards...
Agree. As the year goes on I expect players like Carroll, Motlop, Dow, Kemp etc to really step up and close the gap so our weakest 6 in the 22 should get better.
 
Been saying it on our board all pre season you blokes would be the ones to jump up. In Weitering, McGovern, Cripps, Walsh, McKay and Curnow you've got high potentially AAs. Throw in some blokes like Cerra, De Koning, Saad etc who could get to that level as well and you've got a hell of a spine. I think you're about where we were in 2018. Most of the pieces but a couple years away from being elite. Got you finishing 4-6th. No doubt in my mind you guys are the real deal now and I ****ing hate Carlton lol
