At least two of the names above are incorrect, and hopefully another. No panic at Bulleen Road whatsoever, rather enthusiasm.

Maybe you can tell us. You appear to have some fairly detailed knowledge, if slightly awry, or possibly deliberately skewed. I'll leave the spruiking to others.

oc37, Its between you and Canada. Can you definitely refute his claims????
Yes, to an extent, he is accurate in many respects and has some good information, though most of this is not new nor secret knowledge. I think, at least a couple of the players, if not more, that he mentioned, will pull on the boots this season, and that the club is FAR from panicking, but I am just a supporter and cannot speculate further

This was announced on here over a week ago. Unfortunately ‘their man’ does not make up for some far bigger departures.

Not so sure about that Canada. Uni Blues have landed some big names. Kieren Harper from North Melb, Ex Freo player Clayton Hinkley and his brother plus Tim Geappen from Swan Districts. Pretty sharp recruiting for mine.

Speculating on finishing positions at this time of year can have its pitfalls hey Rooster!!!
I'm also told Blacks haven't been exactly sitting on their hands either.
Wasn't having a ping at you mate. It was a generic comment.

OM's playing home games at sportscover this year.
as you can imagine melbourne haven't been sitting on their hands when it comes to recruiting just no one on bigfooty to promote them.
Matt thomas is signed on taking alot of pre season so far. should be one of the best in the vafa this season.

Canada, OMG you know very little. Panic?? No panic at Panthers....... Young e
Canada, you will look silly when l re post this in August. Not smart making statements that can come and bite you on the backside later. Time will tell who is right. Panthers are going very ok......

Don't think he is trying to be smart, rather just trying to inject some conversation into the forum. I actually welcome people prepared to stick their neck out.
Who’s your top 4 Carlton? Based on the little we know so far for me SKOBs Xavs and Blues look the early fancies and throw a blanket over the rest.
if Carey do well I won't feel silly.
I will be happy for them. As Rooster said, no point having a forum if you don't toss around a few things.
Not a massive stretch to have Carey finishing 9th IMO. They were what 7t last year and have lost some very decent cattle.

From memory 5-8th last year all ended up on the same points, just percentage separating them, but Carey actually had less wins than the others in that group due to a couple draws, so as you say, it's no stretch at all to see them going backwards from 7th. Having said that, there is no doubt 1-2 others in that group go backwards as well, so it might be a case of 'the best of the worst' that stay up.

Too true Rooster so here goes. Canada, didn't mean to attack..... just defending my team...
SKOBs look to have the goods on paper but l think most contributors (including me) this time last year were predicting Blues to have both hands on the cup and they did finish 3rd but at the half way mark were 4-5.
Xavs are simply to big to fail and won't miss finals 2 years in a row.
Blues have the talent and will be a force if they can all stay on the park.
Panthers have certainly lost some talent but not all that most are saying. There are several "ins" too but not big names like SKOB's but l am sure they will be by mid season. If youth, numbers and enthusiasm counts for anything the Panthers will be ok. May have finished 7th but were in the four from rounds 5-16, understand it's where you finish that counts. Player losses due to travel/work/injury in the last 5 rounds prevented them from playing in their first A finals series.
Don't have much to go on with the others. Anything can happen in this grade but you don't call in the engraver until the Grand Final is over.
Questions.
1/ When does points system come in if at all?
2/ Is the Grand Final at Carlton again?
3/ If so will they open more than one gate?

Nice work Carlton. So if I’m reading this correctly you have SKOBs, Blues, Xavs & Carey. Top 3 look certainties but Carey might be one of a number fighting for place in the 4. Is Reid back this season? Thought he had a pretty bad knee injury.
In regard to your questions.
1/ When does points system come in if at all?
This season I believe
2/ Is the Grand Final at Carlton again?
Probably depends on availability and who is playing in the big dance, I really hope it is anywhere but EP but you can guarantee that if possible the VAFA hierarchy will want it there.
3/ If so will they open more than one gate?
Lets hope so but I would not put the house on it!

Definatley not in any order, don't have info on the others and not putting Carey in the top 4 by any stretch at this stage.
Reid coaching 2's whilst he recovers from ACL. No point coming back for 3-4 games, will give himself maximum time to recover and be 100% in 2017
