Hmmm - he is one of my favourite players & his absence was a big reason why the Lions did not have a great 2000 season.

Hopefully, this prediction will not come true, however the ongoing delay to his return to running have raised my doubts. After all he was going to play in the finals last year, then, he was going to be ready for pre season, then starting after Christmas, then no running etc etc etc. The regular Lions updates may be reassuring & soothing as always, but it does not mean everything is OK.

Lions lose first 8
Matthews gets sack
Vossy becomes captain/coach
Lions win next 14
Lions win flag

Dodongo likes that scenario.

No, no,no. Dodongo becomes coach much better scenario. Dodongo hoisting cup above head on GF day !!!

 

[Tom FC]

Lions win 14-15 games.
Get beaten by Essendon in a thriller.
Lose first final in Melbourne
Michael gets an injury keeping him out of most of the season.
Cupido barely plays a game.
Headland plays 20.
Voss wins best and fairest, finishes third on Brownlow count, but somehow misses All-Australian selection.
Leppitsch, however, gets back into the team at full-back, even though he played more games at half-forward.
Lynch retires. (Really brave one, that!)
Black becomes recognised as one of the best players in the league.

This will be the year of the contentious selection. Expect one of Lynch, Ashcroft or White to be controversially dropped for a younger player.

 

[Mr Ripper]

Lions win 17 matches
Cupido wins Norwich
Lions lose first Gabba final
Lions win next 2 finals to make GF
Voss and Black finish eq runners-up in Brownlow
Lions win GF

Lappin wins Norm Smith
Lynch kicks 84 goals for season
Black wins Merrett-Murray
Dodongo wins Media Personality of the Year

 

[homework_boy]

Geez the homework_boy is here, cos he loves predicting!

Well how should I start. It won't be that hard not much happens with the Lions in one year.

* Their coach will get fired.

* An all time record of ten players get injured in one game

* They loose 21 games, and beat St. Kilda in r.22 by 1 point. Saints Players Harvey and three of their other top stars weren't playing.

*Kennedy will get the S*** beat through him by one of the Melbourne players.

Well they were the pleasent predictions. Seeing as though you didn't seem to catch onto my personality in some other msgs I didn't write the ones I thought would be great! But oh well, always time in the future!

Don't you think re-election is a little bit optimistic, even compared to your other predictions?

Dodongo likes the last one and wishes it would happen. Dodongo looks and reads Lynch kicks 84 goals. Dodongo thought Dodongo saw you put down Lynch kick more than 100 goals in another topic.

Mr Ripper was only joking in that other thread.

 

[Beausgirl43]

2001 YEAR OF THE LIONS.
cheers...

I think we will win the Grand Final against Essendon.

 

[Skoob]

We'll pay close attention to under 12s player Thomas Rockliff and earmark him for future captain.

I was pretty steamed about us trading Molloy away.
