2012 Predictions

[Patty_Moz]

With 2011 coming to an end was thinking it was an appropriate time to find out what everyone thinks the Dockers will achieve in 2012. So here are my thoughts:

Final Ladder Position: 9th- I feel with a new coach and an injury interrupted preseason we will have a slow start to the season proper but we will come home strongly just missing out on the 8.

Leading Goalkicker: Mathew Pavlich- 65 goals

Best and Fairest: Aaron Sandilands- better management will see him have a fantastic full season.

Debutants: Lee Spurr, Viv Mitchie, Tom Sheridan, Lachie Neale

Cant wait for it all to begin. Happy new years everybody!!!

 

[Seppo]

Final Ladder Position: 1st

Leading Goalkicker: Ballantyne with 58

B&F: Mundy or Sandilands

Debutants: Menegola, Michie, Spurr, Neale and Roberts.

Retiring: Grover & McPhee

Injuries: Injury list not to get over 5 all season.

Highest Brownlow Votes: Sandilands

Most improved: Pitt & Hill

Least improved: Anthony & Faulks

[Arcassius]

Final Ladder Position: 3rd
Leading Goalkicker: Pavlich with 60
B&F: Fyfe
Debutants: In order - Spurr, Menegola, Neale, Roberts, Michie.
Retiring: Grover
Injuries: -- not going to touch that one
Highest Brownlow Votes: Fyfe
Most improved: Half the team over 2010.. But Pitt for mine, and our 2010 injury list
Least improved: Faulks

 

[Schauermann]

Final Ladder Position: 6-10
Leading Goalkicker: Pavlich 40-60
B&F: Fyfe (Sandi/Mundy/Barlow/Pav/even Hill possibilities), McPharlin deserves one, but highly unlikely as a defender
Debutants: Michie, Spurr, Sheridan
Retiring: Grover (Crowley and McPhee might be possibilities, but only in case of a shocker season)
Injuries: very difficult, less then this year
Highest Brownlow Votes: Fyfe or Sandi (Mundy/Barlow/Pav/even Hill possibilities, somehow like B&F)
Most improved: hopefully Hill and Walters, Pitt/Mellington/Crichton
Least improved: Johnson/Anthony/Walters are all players people want to improve, but no or little improvement is a possibility, but could name lots of player. Who is expecting Pav or Grover to improve?
