Prediction Five bold predictions for Season 2020

[citizen-erased]

There is nothing bold in predicting Essendon missing out on the 8.

1. Essendon win a final, with a 10 goal haul from Daniher and selection headaches with a fully fit list to pick from

2. Eddie won’t say something stupid this year

3. Damien Barrett grasps the English language in one written piece

4. Rowell doesn’t win rising star

5. All Australian isn’t predictable

In seriousness;
1. Pendles finally wins a Brownlow
2. Daniher remains at bomberland, fantasia leaves and wines arrives
3. Tom Lynch boots 100+
4. Clarko leaves the hawks
5. GWS wins the flag

 

[JayJ20]

Sydney and Adelaide bottom 4 with Carlton winning the spoon
Hawthorn and Geelong bottom 6
A team to be forced to abandon games due to the the spread of coronavirus amongst their players
Some games to be played in front of empty stadiums due to coronavirus
Essendon will win a final

Last one is the least likely

 

[telsor]

so how many in the H&A?

Most of them. Same rate as WCE actually. (both 60%)

 

[master bate]

1. The same 8 teams make the finals
2. No coach gets sacked (Power players step in to save Kenny, Goodwin wins 10-12 games)
3. Bont wins the Brownlow with a 10 vote margin
4. Contested ball finally stops being a thing that coaches and the media spout with no context
5. A team wins a game scoring less than 50

 

[Evolved1]

Richmond will win a game interstate.

Gold Coast?

 

[Flags_In_The_Bag]

St Kilda makes finals, Port makes finals, Melbourne makes finals, Geelong, Eagles and Lions miss.

And the tv network 9 give the people what they deserve and that's not being subjected to seeing Caroline Wilson's mug on tv

 

[tropicaltiger]

Rich v Ess GF...Tigers too good

McLaughlin brother/s in drug or sex scandal

Buddy to retire mid season

Bont wants out from kennel

Jeremy Cameron bolts in Coleman 75+ and joint Brownlow winner with Dusty on 25

 

[brutus76]

1. Tippa wins the Coleman
2. Swans tank and Buddy "retires" due to medical reasons and the AFL let the Swans pay him outside the cap as a settlement so they can sign Joe Daniher.
3. Charlie Cameron will take Mark of the Year and get Goal of the Year
4. The BONT will get 40+ Brownlow votes
5. Bucks will get the a%% finally.

 

[Gavin Excell]

Pies chief will lash out

 

[Verdun]

Pies chief will lash out

Goin out on a limb there Gavin Excell!!

 

[Tony Harrison]

Non-midfielder to win the brownlow.

 

[Xtreme]

Richmond fail to make the 8
Hardwick sacked as a result
Ablett retires midseason

Geelong fall to 8th. Miraculously overcome Chris Scotts finals hoodoo and make the grand final. Only to be thrashed by GWS (or the Gold Coast Suns).

Chris Mayne wins the 2020 Brownlow Medal.

A player wife/gf or family member punches BT during roaming Brian.

 

[Gavin Excell]

Sadly may not be unlikely now but the season to be significantly impacted by coronavirus

 

[freddy mercury]

St Kilda not to win the flag.

 

[RichLeMonde]

so how many in the H&A?

Beat Freo and Port last year, lost to Adelaide and GWS. What’s your point?

 

[MadMundy]

1. Jesse Hogan to make a miraculous comeback game by kicking 6 goals.
2. Gold Coast to win more than 3 games this season and play exciting footy across the entire season.
3. The Bulldogs are all hype and will miss out on the 8.
4. Adelaide will be worse than expected and finish bottom 2
5. Carlton won't make much improvement this year at all and will stay relatively in the same position.

 

[jdeezy]

Gold Coast, Adelaide, Sydney, St Kilda all bottom 4.

Essendon win a final, creating a real air of uncertainty whether the coaching succession is a good idea or a bad one and bringing real Malthouse/Buckley vibes (albeit in a less successful scale).

Wingard returns to AA form, averages 20+2. Still only gets about 1 Brownlow vote though.

The AFL media collectively celebrates the return of the Power Forward when Ben Brown, Jack Riewoldt and Buddy all kick big bags in the first month or so of the season - only to settle back into dire low scoring dross by May and never change for the rest of the year.

Despite all the hype, Rowell misses out on the Rising Star, but loses it to teammate Rankine.

 

[Kwality]

Beat Freo and Port last year, lost to Adelaide and GWS. What’s your point?

They dont travel often, so rarely that wins on the road are barely relevant.

 

[telsor]

They dont travel often, so rarely that wins on the road are barely relevant.

8 games away from the MCG last year, 5 out of Vic. About the same as other MCG based teams (excluding sold games).

Hardly "so rarely".

 

[RichLeMonde]

They dont travel often, so rarely that wins on the road are barely relevant.

If Richmond's wins on the road are barely relevant then it's not really a bold prediction to suggest they will have some.

out of 10?

 

[Hawk Time]

Ablett will retire before seasons end..
Gold Coast will make the 8..
Essendon will finish last..
Cripps will win the Brownlow..
Patton will win the Coleman..

 

[mattwa]

1) Hawthorn will finish in the bottom 4
2) Geelong will miss the 8
3) Gold Coast will actually do ok and win more than 6 games
4) West Coast don't meet expectations and the ageing list breaks down throughout the year
5) North Melbourne win the spoon

 

[The acurate one]

Chris Scott sacked
Brad Scott replaces him
AFL admits it's shafted clubs like North over the years and apologises
City of Greater Geelong admits they believe the earth is flat
Aiden Bonar wins the brownlow

Looking forward to seeing how I fair at seasons end.
