What are you most excited about in 2009

[Pessimistic]

Beating a fully fit Geelong in Round 1 without 5 of our stars and finally putting all those choke/fluke calls to bed

Hate the fluke tag but theres not nearly enough use of the choke tag to my reckoning

 

[THE_GUN]

1. watching the development of tiger cubs & making the finals

2. watching carlton getting thrashed round 1, carlton missing the finals & their deluded supporters realising that a 2 man team doesnt win flags.

 

[taekwondo]

1. Seeing NM make top 4 and this time having money on it (should win a bit)

2. Seeing Collingwood miss the finals

3. Beating Collingwood & Hawthorn again and again

4. Watching Carlton NOT make the finals

5. Watching Richmond choke, yet finish a few games higher than Carlton

6. Watching Ablett miss out on another brownlow

7. Watching Buddy miss out on 100 goals as opposition teams are working him out

8. NORTH TO MAKE THE GRANDFINAL AGAINST HAWTHORN AND SMASH THEM................

That's a start

 

[adelaide_40]

Watching our young players develop.

 

[Cohzee]

Hate the fluke tag but theres not nearly enough use of the choke tag to my reckoning

Saying Geelong choked is like admitting Hawthorn were lucky.

 

[roylandroos]

I am most excited about carlton making the finals for the firs time in a long time
Also seeing how ben cousins returns should be interesting

mate they havent made the finals yet so settle down.
im not saying they won't, im just saying don't get your hopes up too high.

 

[CJudd3Votes]

Round 1.

 

[ryzz]

lol, admitting we were lucky, indeed we were. dont think we fluked it though. pretty hard to fluke a GF win, but the first half of the game as we all know, we were definately lucky.....then stewie and cyril showed up. will be good to see how we go again this year. round 1 for mine

 

[DaSawx]

im just saying don't get your hopes up too high.

[giantroo]

NM punters getting filthy rich from the idiotic bookies , again.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

1. Footy in general
2. Ben Cousins and his return
3. Youngsters such as Rich and Naitanui playing
4. Flower finishing bottom 4
5. Crows playing finals and silencing the critics yet again

 

[Leper Messiah]

Round 1
Jack Watts
Sylvia after first full pre-season
A fit rivers
Some more bloody wins

 

[stabler]

• Jack Watts
• Liam Jurrah
• The continued growth of Cale Morton, Jack Grimes
• Queens Birthday
• Pretty much every team, every game, every round. Can't get enough of it

 

[Lynch takes a mark]

Seeing what the likes of Nick Naitanui, Mitch Brown, Josh Kennedy, Shannon Hurn, Ben McKinley, Mark LeCras, Chris Masten, Brad Ebert, Scott Selwood, Tom Swift & Luke Shuey can bring to the table.

All the guys that were taken reasonably high in the draft, yet to play 50 games but have shown quality signs of being long term AFL players.

 

[SweetLeftFoot]

A fullt fit Jesse Smith. And Jack Ziebell. Like the look of him.

 

[PortAdelaide]

1. Footy in general
2. Ben Cousins and his return
3. Youngsters such as Rich and Naitanui playing
4. Flower finishing bottom 4
5. Crows playing finals and silencing the critics yet again

[yulong]

- Bails giving the kids a real go at it
- Colin Sylvia getting through a full preseason (touch wood) and providing yet another reason why AW was a silly choice at no. 2
- Cale Morton surprising so many
- Jack Watts and a glimpse of what's to come
- A good look at Liam Jurrah

[malodeez]

[Hollow Knight]

Go back 9 years and St Kilda supporters were saying these same words.
