Where We Will Finish: 5th
Best And Fairest: Nathan Jones (Kid Sylvia and Brock Mclean rounding out the trifecta)
Leading Goalkicker: David Neitz 70 (with Newton kicking 55)
Most Improved: Newton/Sylvia
Will Bailey play Miller Forward or Back: Back
an improved performance on 2008, where the bruce/green/mcdonald/white/neitz/robbo era of players slwoly get threatened and puished out of positions by younger hungrier players
expect a double captain thingy happening, with McLean being Mentored by Neitz, with Neitz still captain on paper

Who do people think we'll finish above?
I reckon at the least Essendon, Carlton and Richmond.

Who do people think we'll finish above?
I reckon at the least Essendon, Carlton and Richmond.Well I cant see us getting ahead of Geelong.
But Adelaide, Sydney, StKilda and West Coast might be on the slide. Brisbane, Collingwood, Port and Hawthorn look to be young teams going places but could falter. And if we are in form then we should be able to beat the Kangaroos, Essendon, Carlton and Richmond. Who knows what Freo will do and the Bulldogs are in a similar situation to us.
I tipped us for 7th, so in no particular order I'd have Geelong, West Coast, Brisbane, Hawthorn, Collingwood and Port ahead of us and the rest below.

Leading Goalkicker: Neitz
Most Improved: Paul Johnson
Will Bailey play Miller Forward or Back: Forward, has to be!
Pettard NAB rising star.

Sorry mate but we don't have the quality just yet to finish top 4. Our defence is suspect, White is ageing and not as good as he used to be and none of our 2nd rucks will be stars next year, and we have Neita who is good when he's not injured and Juice who is still a kid.
At best I think we'll finish 7th-8th. I have plenty of faith mate, I'm just a realist.

Yeah tend to agree with you hyptoehtically for a bit of fun if we were to finsih top 4
Sylvia would have to do a G. Ablett
McLean likewise
Neitz would have to kick 70 goals
Robbo and Newton 40 each
Rivers +Bell would have to be AA
Carrol would have to have an unbelievable year

Will Bailey play Miller Forward or Back: Forward and leave him there all year! He is going to get back some old form.
Our forward Line Stucture we be:
Miller (to lead up the ground to centre line)
Bate/Dunn & Davey (Davey to work up and back to goal square)
Robbo & Newton (to lead opp sides from 20m out)
Neitz (from goal square straight up)

I was looking at melbournes list and your top 22 are pretty f***in good,fair dinkum but you need your best 7th-16th players to step up and yous will be a great chance,you say your backline is suspect throw rivers,whelan,carroll,frawley maybe bruce off hb miller down there pretty strong.
expect meeson and white to cause some headaches as well as davey and yze who will rebound.
heads up demons things are about to fall into place..

We have enough mature age players that if we can have a good run with injuries and get off to a good start in the season we may be the surprise packet this year.
I think our defence is not too bad against most sides, Geelong would probably take it apart maybe Brisbane and ST Kilda could too, main defence against this is getting on top in the midfield, confidence breeds confidence and if we get a run on, some spirit around the place and a bit of hardness and determination in the mature aged players, bruce, green, white, yze we arent that far away.
Where We Will Finish: 6th
Best And Fairest: Mclean
Leading Goalkicker: Robertson
Most Improved: Sylvia
Will Bailey play Miller Forward or Back: Back, i believe he shud b fwd.
If we have a goo drun with injuires the top 8 is a certanity, where we finish in the 8 and how far we go depends on Bailey and how mentally tougher he can make the players and how hard they are willing to work.
