How do you guys think it will finish up?

Being generous to Fremantle and Melbourne.
Being hard on Sydney and the Bulldogs.

Although your not too far off otherwise.
Why? Because it pritty much mirrors this years ladder, thats why.

Pies at 4... absolutely NO thought put into it Eddie! Cmon - life your stocks!

 

[eddiesmith]

Collingwood at 4, Port at 1, Essendon at 11 are the only three I am confident with.

We will go top 4 next year. The top teams this year (barring the 2 GFinalists) could not beat the Pies of 2003 and the pies of 2005 are a better side with youngsters with some games under their belts and with no injuries and the injection of experience and skill from trading

Don't kid yourself.

Just wanted to apologise for the mighty Lions breaking your club's spirit.

 

[Karbassiyoon]

anybody with essendon outside the 8 is being foolish. this was the year they were meant to miss the 8 but north and fremantle threw thier chances away by losing games they were expected to win throughout the season. essendon will be around the 13 to 11 wins mark next year and thier ladder position is almost totally dependent on how the middle-of-the-road clubs perform against the bottom 5.

Youve got to be having me on...

1. Youngsters with games under their belts? Dont tell me you think players like King, Rowe and Maxwell will be leading the Pies to glory in 2005 because you'd be dreaming! Its like me saying Jason Laycock, Jason Winderlick, etc will help us win a flag next year - solely on their performances.
2. No injuries... yep - sure!
3. As if anyone will want to trade with Collingwood - Mark Williams was correct. Who will you trade?

Maxwell, Rowe, C.Cloke, G.Richards will be the main youngsters who have shown enough promise to fit into the side and fill in the holes we have

We surely couldnt get injuries as serious as this season and so reguarly

Even if we dont trade we can pick up someone good at no4 in the PSD draft but the Hawks are stupid enough to trade with us for ********

Eddie, I reckon the Pies are up schit creek for the next few years - and you can thank Malthouse for that.

9-12

If you are relying on Hathorn trades to win you a flag then you are in trouble.
Given their list, any club that deals with them are destined to be short changed.

 

[eddiesmith]

I wouldnt mind Crawford for a short term fix or Smith

[cyberdog]

sureley richmond will finish below dogs,tiges are a rabble!

 

[eddiesmith]

Rocca possibly. But my point was the Hawks are stupid enough to trade cheaply. The Hawks would probably want a younger player like a Walker or someone.

Atleast Crawfords pay packet isnt a problem for the pies, a big increase for Hank Bulger whilst Crawford takes a pay cut

It's not like you to put Freo up high.

It's not like you to put Freo up high.

I didnt want to... but I seriously struggled to find teams good enough to steal 6th off them.
