Post 3 bold predictions for the 2015 season

[Costanza_]

1. Geelong will miss the 8 (has to come true eventually r-r-right?).
2. GWS to win 9 games.
3. Kurt Tippett to win the Norm Smith.

 

[South of the Yarra]

Collingwood to make the Top 4
Cloke to win the Coleman kicking 93.26
Essendon to win the wooden spoon.

 

[The breed]

Collingwood to make the Top 4
Cloke to win the Coleman kicking 93.26
Essendon to win the wooden spoon.

2 Adelaide teams in the GF
Collingwood bottom 4
Hawks lose prelim by a point

1) Cyril Rioli will be regarded as the best player in the comp at around round 8 and a strong favourite for the brownlow. Then in round 9 his hamstrings will give way again. The Hawks will then turn to one of their fans to donate replacement hamstrings for Cyril. This will bring fan involvement to an whole new level.
2) AFL will start handing out 3d goggles during one of the games this year. They will not do anything. Everyone will still want to try it.
3) Tom Boyd will earn over $50k per goal next season.

20 goals for a second year isn't too bad

 

[hairy biker]

20 goals for a second year isn't too bad

Except he's on a second year contract so his maximum earn is ~$175kpa.
So about $50k per goal = 3-4 goals for the season

1. Ross Lyon has another run-in with a fan, is suspended then traded to a Victorian team
2. Hawks sign one of Cotchin or Dangerfield at the end of the year - possibly both
3. Vlad is given a lap of honour on grand final day to mild applause

Coffin open or closed?

Then have a trade ban put on them ?

Don't be silly, eddie loves them.

 

[Footy 1st]

1. Geelong will miss the 8 (has to come true eventually r-r-right?).
2. GWS to win 9 games.
3. Kurt Tippett to win the Norm Smith.

1. Surely they're due
2. Maybe they can
3. The NEAFL don't call it the 'Norm Smith'

 

[Goggin Our Best]

(1) StKilda - to be the 1st side since Fitzroy in the mid 1960s - to go through the year winless 0-22

(2) Malthouse - 4 weeks from the end of the year - terminated - interim coach appointed

(3) Geelong - to get a consistently rough deal from the umpires

That will be the day...

"For some silly reason, you people want to assassinate Clark. It's just rubbish. You people, all of you, ALL OF YOU, leave him alone!" Chris Scott in a post game press conference

Mark Blicavs will win the golden fist award

A Geelong player will cost Geelong the TAC sponsorship before the bye.

Some pretty soft 'bold' predictions in this thread. For mine:

1. Richmond v Westcoast Grand Final;
2. Tex Walker coleman medal;
3. Will Langford brownlow medal.

 

[Ahern2Boof]

Gold Coast will be unbeaten after Round 6.

 

[Scotland]

West Coast top 4 a la 2011.
Melbourne not bottom 4 a la 2011.
Dale Thomas All Australian a la 2011.

Nah, none of these things will happen.

 

[Damon_3388]

Haynes could be replaced with Corr, Mohr or Buntine.

Haynes (188cm, 79kg) is not a key defender, but was one of the better non-key defenders in the league this year before getting injured. He's definitely in GWS' best 22 and back 6 if fit.

 

[Jade]

Dunno if they are bold, reckon they will occur though:

1) Geelong will not play finals
2) Buckley will not be coach of the Pies come next preseason
3) Adelaide to finish sixth or higher

 

[JackFlash]

Maybe he might be coaching Geelong, now that would be funny.

They have their moments of madness down at Geelong, but they're not completely out of their minds just yet.

Dunno, what was the pick that you gave up for Stanely?

 

[JackFlash]

Dunno, what was the pick that you gave up for Stanely?

Well, they gave up pick 21 and then swapped 14 for 10 with Adelaide, which is really number 9 considering the Pies are taking Moore. So Geelong actually leap frog the Eagles and Dockers. So who did you have hidden away over there we can get our hands on?

 

[Mitchell54]

Sorry!! got on a roll and just kept going!!


Fremantle will miss the top 8.

Carlton get a bottom 4 spot.

2 senior coaches will be sacked before the end of the year.

Ruckman gets goal of the year.

Brisbane make the 8.

Rising star winner comes from a team in the top 8.

Brownlow winner comes from team in bottom 6.

He played as a key defender plenty this year. Took guys like N. Riewoldt, Frawley, Westhoff.

Ideally you'd prefer he didn't have to though.
