Pickett didn’t play a game until the last month of the year, by that point out VFL team was already clear top of the ladder.I am not "pining" for anything but the vfl flag was also courtesy of butler, pickett, townsend etc not just young kids

bwahahahahahahaI think essendon are a given to drop and i think the tigers will drop to 9th again!
Not sure about their culture and rance coming off a knee at 30.
Soft draw for the Bulldogs??? Coming from a Richmond supporter, where you get 500 games in a row at the MCG! We get two games a year there, where finals are played.Geelong and Eagles only miss the finals on very down years because of their home ground advantage.
Bulldogs have been gifted an incredibly soft draw considering where they finished.
Richmond unlikely to miss with current form.
GWS just seem to have too much talent to miss.
So any of Essendon, Collingwood, Brisbane.

He also got dropped for Brown last time he was fit.Stewart is one of those guys whose reputation grows with every game he misses.
How on earth is he a crucial in? What does he do better than Mitch Brown did? He'll be 26 at least the next time he plays senior AFL with 45 games and 55 goals to his name, doesn't take a lot of marks, not much of a back up ruckman etc.
Smith and Daniher, absolutely.
Of courseThen won the medal for bog
I thought the discussion was around who was going to win enough home and away games to make the finals?Soft draw for the Bulldogs??? Coming from a Richmond supporter, where you get 500 games in a row at the MCG! We get two games a year there, where finals are played.

It makes no difference how many games in a row richmond get at the g, we know because they told us all.Soft draw for the Bulldogs??? Coming from a Richmond supporter, where you get 500 games in a row at the MCG! We get two games a year there, where finals are played.
You don't watch many west coast games clearly. Kelly in pushes gaff back predominantly to a wing where he belongs, effectively replacing masten with gaff, and gaff with kelly who is a far better inside mid than gaff. He also kicks a goal a game. Masten played a role but was often a liability. Cameron kicked 1.6 goals a game in his first year and will only improve next year, won't be of the same quality as Rioli but will be able to play the role competently. Kennedy "on his last legs" still kicked 50 goals despite having no preseason due to surgery. Next year will be the first time in several years that he has a full preseason so definitely don't go writing him off yet, and even if he doesn't improve there isn't many players who kick 50 goals a year, let alone 2 in the same forward line. Darling and Cripps definitely aren't overrated. Jetta's loss of speed isn't an issue and hasn't been for a couple of years since they moved him from a wing to the backline for his kicking skills which are still some of the best in the AFL. Naitanui also playing his first preseason in years, and while he was injured after returning from his ACL last year, it was an impact injury not soft tissue and there's no reason he can't play most of the season next year with a bit of luck.Great Question.
tough comp. cant see most of the 8 dropping off. another year yet for cats and pies. 2021 maybe then the cats finally drop. but not 2020.
so, Given all things go equal ...
out: wce and ess
in: hawks and saints
eagles missing will surprise a few. but just think how old they are getting. Got Kelly but will that mess with the harmony? nicnat forever injured. rioli gone. masten gone. kennedy on last legs. darling/cripps overated. good but can they hold key posi's for top 8 side? jetta losing speed. idk just get the feeling they wont be all out. hard draw, won a lucky flag so are they content? id say so.
essendon - yeah not liking team balance. two injuries away from no defent key forward and ruck. overated midfield and woosha has made them too outside.
-------
hawks will be back. mitchell back. look at their form into last rounds. amazing.
saints - biased. but with vip leaders back and hill/hanneberry/billings/steele/ross we have good team balance and depth.
We will sneak into the 8 with favourable draw.
Agree . Their recruiting has been average . Rohan Dalhous Stevens Jenkins, b or c graders , same as Stanley tuohy . With Kelly our it’s hood night Geelong .

Who ever claimed any of these guys were A graders/game changes to begin with?
It's our youth that will bring improvement if there is to be any, not any of those stop gap players you mentioned..
Ratugolea, Henry, Miers, Parfitt, Narkle, Constable, Clarke.
Bombers for sure, then the Eagles, Giants and Pies will all get the jitters at some point during the year!

I've seen some dumb calls on BigFooty in my time, but this is up there with the best of them.Apart from Henry & narkle that rest of group won’t be playing afl in 4 years time . Sorry , but the future is bleak .

I would be shocked if even 1 of those players wasn't playing in 4 years time, every single one looks to be at least a 100+ game player for the Cats.
Geelong will likely drop down a bit when the older brigade retires, but it's not like the cupboard is bare when it comes to youth.
Well, none of us know anything! We have 10 teams who missed the 8 in 2019 who could all do a Brisbane and be in contention...Thus hurts but I reckon the dons will have a great season in 2020. The list is too good to be crapola again . Just a feeling .
