Yet Another - My own 2005 predictions of where Clubs can potentially finish

[Two-Bobby]

OK...everyone else has had a go. He's my assessment of where each club could potetnially finish in 2005.

Adelaide 1-16
Brisbane 1-16
Carlton 1-16
Collingwood 1-16
Essendon 1-16
Fremantle 1-16
Geelong 1-16
Hawthorn 1-16
Kangaroos 1-16
Melbourne 1-16
Port 1-16
Richmond 1-16
Saints 1-16
Sydney 1-16
West Coast 1-16
Western Bulldogs 1-16

Now if you ask me the PROBABILITIES of where each club finish are likely to be, I'd probably give a totally different answer. However, POTENTIALLY, anyone can win it!

By the way

For those who haven't picked it yet, I was being a bit of a sarcastic bugger...

If you need further explaining, just ask!

I would agree with Slugger there - at this stage you can't get much more specific than that - and you've got them all about right.

well done slugger thats the first one of those i find feasible

 

[Two-Bobby]

You're right, Slugger

your predictions are a slight braver than mine, and may I add that they're pretty realistic.

Brissy, Port and Saints as certainties for the finals is pretty much spot on for mine, likewise with the Hawks, Tiges and Bulldogs missing out.

On form, I think they're pretty safe bets providing nothing extraordinary happens.

The bottom line is that all reports from club training sessions indicates that every team is absolutely flying and that they'll have great seasons and will be in the eight (or at least push for it).

This time of year is always frustrating - I can't wait for the real thing to start.
