Prediction Your Essendon 2025 season predictions. Right or Left field.

[Foxx]

I'm interested in what predictions you might have feels for next year. Whether it is obvious or left field.
Hang it out there, and if you end up right, make sure you bring your quote back up to show everyone you know your stuff.

Mine: We will finish top 6. Reid, Cox and Perkins will have breakout years.

 

[boncer34]

We'll play in a Prelim.

 

[Atavistic]

We'll be top six halfway through the year and then about 11th to 14th at the end of the year. I'm guessing we'll have some embarrassing losses in round 21-22 against Sydney and Geelong.

Saad El-Hawli will be good.

Guess I'm not brimming with optimism.

 

[eth-dog]

We'll finish ahead of all of Carlton, Collingwood, Richmond and Hawthorne.

 

[Happyskeret]

I’m going out on a limb and say we will finish 12th.

 

[Duckworth]

El-Hawli to play every game. Reid to play none.

 

[Vindicater]

Perkins to be AA.

 

[DERO]

Jy menzie to average 1.5 goals a game as a reliable pressure forward.

 

[Nuggs Bunny]

Come September we're gonna pin this thread

I have already booked my holidays.

 

[Nuggs Bunny]

I have already booked my holidays.

To Melbourne, to watch us play finals right?

 

[DERO]

To Melbourne, to watch us play finals right?

It'll be warm hugs with Dodoro in the outer and the knowledge that the year after it'll be James Hird in charge that'll get me through the finals campaign.

 

[Bombers36]

1. We will beat the GCoast 1st up on their home turf - its only 2 months away..!!
2. 2MP will rediscover his 2022 form and kick 40 - 50 goals
3. Reid to play almost every game and prove a rock in defence

 

[TheUnicorn]

Tsatas is amazeballs.
Top 6 Finish.
Win Final.
Win Premiership.
Win Life.
Am God.

 

[Pweter]

Nick Bryan will be out number 1 ruck by seasons end

 

[Nifft]

We'll finish around 8th to 12th. We'll still be somewhat inconsistent, but will be better than the last couple years. Scott will reward performance more, and will drop players if they consistently underperform (looking at you Perkins!). Tsatas will be a regular in the firsts by seasons end. Crows will throw a truckload of money at Draper and he'll move. Stringer will kick 42 goals for the year.

 

[fairbump_playon]

We'll play in a Prelim.

There’s a reason you’re the reigning poster of the year

 

[fairbump_playon]

I’m going out on a limb and say we will finish 12th.

But our start.. really something

 

[Atavistic]

El-Hawli to play every game. Reid to play none.

Reid might play part of a game.

 

[Blind Turn]

With Scott under immense pressure, something will click part-way through the season and we’ll have a run of form like Geelong did under Thompson in 2007 which will lead to our 17th .

Kako will rise like Ablett Jr, Reid will prove to be Scarlett-esque, Caddy will be more Stevie Johnson than Curnow, McGrath will find his inner Enright, Hobbs will prove to be the Selwood clone we all craved, and Gresham will amazingly morph into Paul Chapman.

Expect 3 premierships in the next 5 years.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Bottom 5.

 

[justlookingaround]

We finish 11th or 12th...

 

[sup3rfish]

Predictions:
14 wins 9 losses
Best win - Brisbane at the Gabba round 12
Worst loss - St. Kilda round 23
Leading goal kicker - Jones (53)
Best and fairest - Merrett

Reid and Kako to play 15+ games each
Tsatsas, Perkins and Cox to step up
Draper to be traded at end of year

 

[justlookingaround]

Draper to be traded at end of year

If he continues his end of year form it'll be a big story, too.

 

[Skipper_]

Martin surpasses Merrett as our best player.

Jones emerges ahead of Wright and Draper as the second key forward next to Caddy.

Archie Perkins kicks 30+ goals playing predominantly forward.

Zach Reid plays an AFL game.
