Preview Season 2018 - What are your hopes, expectations and predictions

Hopefully the blues win a few more games than last year.

 

[moses]

Hopes - as with any year a Crows Premiership

Expectations - another top 4 finish from Adelaide.

Predictions - Richmond to finish top at the end of H&A season. Look in great nick in the preseason and no reason why they can't improve off the back of the flag last year, where they all seemed to click into gear.
