No we won’t.Bottom 2 unfortunately!
We will battle it out with the Hawks.
I hope so but I can only see us about the same spot as Hawthorn. Who knows, if Clarko can get a system and buy in from the players, and players like Thomas/Phillips/Stephenson/Cunners/ Polec (who knows )/Bonar/Young/CCJ/ Powell/Goater/Comben/Ford and Dawson can really push hard and become consistent players for us who knows. We need to have a really good run with injuries which we haven’t had for a while to compete and get a high top8 of the bottom 8 finish.No we won’t.
Walker has to be kept on the list, I don't see another stop gap forward/defender available to us. With improvement from the middle hopefully the backline won't be under the same pressure and we will get some better forward 50 volumes and quality.Dawks will give it a good shake. They're going all in on the tank.
Wouldn't count us out though. Our pressure isn't gonna change drastically in one pre season, even if that preseason is under the tutelage of some gun coaches, though I'm hoping the boys get a rude awakening fitness wise and that the pressure improves at least a bit. This season we were as defensively sound as a pappadum.
LMac's probably our only AFL standard non-tall in the back 6 in terms of defensive ability. Perez tries, but isn't quite there yet, and Stepho/Hall are pure distributors. Scott's ok defensively but I prefer him on the wing.
Still have way, way, way too many eggs in the Comben basket, and if he has another interrupted pre season, our forward woes won't improve at all.
I'm also worried that Logue and Corr are too similar. Corr maybe slightly more attack minded, and Logue a better mark, but I've got my reservations about whether Logue will consistently be able to handle the second key forward every week.
Clarko and co., presuming they coach us, have a bit to work with, but the holes in the list are still gaping, and I'd be wary of asserting that we're no chance of the spoon
VFL will be the canary, that's for sure.looks like most of the posts here are wishfull thinking, IMO were odds on again for the spoon, i think we have another 15 odd spots to shurn out to get a list thats able to compete. we have a few journeyman contracted to the end of next season, once they are churned through we should have some depth so cover the inevitable injuries that occur.
our vfl competativeness will be a litmis test for our depth.
As much as I can see the potential merit to this and the just to set a new record for lol’s side of things, no.With next year’s draft strong, finishing last may be some short term pain. However, if we can get Clarko back, I think he can weave some coaching genius to beat his old mob, and we would be a chance to finish above the s**t show that is Essendon and our old coach. Thoughts?
We have enough talent , it just needs developing which l'm hoping Clarko and Co can do...I hope so but I can only see us about the same spot as Hawthorn.

Few ifs and buts here. Personally I don't think Tucker should be included in any conversation around game changers. He's an ok player but I can absolutely see him becoming a whipping boy on here. Not enough game breaking traits and is supposedly a bit slow to make decisionsBut Harley Reid looks so good
Think it’ll be a battle between dawks n weagles for the spoon
Can see us above the bottom 6 as we’ll improve with a decent coach , an actual game plan , better defensive structures, cunners/TT/comben/Phillips plus logue/tucker- no sooky biatch

Surprised so many here think Hawthorn’s list is worse than West Coast’s. I can see the Hawks green shoots. The eagles are already diabolical and there’s been nothing this trade season to improve their stock.
