Minor premiers: Brisbane Roar
Champions: Melbourne Victory (Kewell brace in extra time:p)
Top scorer: Sergio Van Dijk
Best Transfer: Marcos Rojas/Liam Miller tie
Biggest flop (Team): Gold Coast/Sydney (everyone knows GC have lost heaps of players so it won't be a big surprise when they flop- I also reckon Sydney will sack Lavicka by Feb)
Biggest flop (Player): Fred - won't be a massive flop as such but any expectations of him having as big an impact as his MV days are delusional. He's much older and more importantly the league has improved dramatically since he left.
Goal of the Year: Carlos Hernandez- if the fat boy stays he'll be banned from the Colonel and will return to form
Johnny Warren Medal (worth adding I reckon): Thomas Broich

League Table:

Melbourne Victory
Melbourne Heart
Perth Glory
Wellington Phoenix
Central Coast
Newcastle
Sydney FC
Gold Coast

Minor premiers: Adelaide United
Champions: Brisbane Roar
Top scorer: Van Dijk
Best Transfer: Rojas/Smeltz/Williams
Biggest flop (Team): Sydney FC, because it's what they do best. Very tempted to say Perth, but surely they'll at least finish top six. Gold Coast are obvious.
Biggest flop (Player): Hernandez, having a trial in the US and then getting banished from the team doesn't bode well for him, imo.
Goal of the Year: Kewell
Johnny Warren Medal: Broich

Goal of the Year: If it is anything like last season it won't be the most deserving goal...Nicky Carle as Sydney need some sort of recognition from the FFA, actual best goal will be Pellegrino

Best Young Footballer (U/21): Mustafa Amini

Added the best U/21 award to the list.:)

Here is last season's thread to see how spectacular some of the failed predictions were!:p

My prediction is injuries will decide the course of the season. Almost every team has serious depth problems with injuries in one area or the other where even 1 missing player would change the shape and form of the team completely.

Biggest flop (Team): Brisbane Roar (and there front line)
