Bit of a pessimist, hey?

Yep. I think part of it comes from the pain of 2013. I'm expecting the team to be worse than I expect them to be, if you know what I mean.

I really hope you're wrong about Naitanui.
Would be majorly disappointing to see him sit out 10+ rounds.

If NN gets 19 Brownlow votes we finish higher than 7

[matt_bas]

Yeah he has but i meant for our team.

Yea sorry I ment for us as well, I thought he played last year? Was it against Sydney?

 

[Jimmy_the_Gent]

Games from Xavier Ellis - <10 - People are very optimistic here.

I was going to say the same thing.

 

[Broken_Chairs]

ladder position: 5th

i prefer to see last year as an aberration, and honestly think we have a team that could contest a premiership, or at least perform at a very high level. a new coach/game plan should do wonders.

Because it will mean Nic is creaming it. If he does that he will drag the rest of the team with him and we will win more games!

What do you want him to do? Win the Coleman?

 

[SpaceClef]

What do you want him to do? Win the Coleman?

Perhaps he puts an end to inflatable waving arms man.

That would surprise me.

 

[Chris_6678]

He was elevated during the year and was named EMG for one game, could have been the Sydney game?
