[Cobbler]

Nic Nat to shave his dreds for some charity that helps build villages in the remote areas of the Vietnam jungle. For this to be reported on 17 times by the West, Today Tonight and various AFL shows.
Various other AFL players to do likewise, but none to be heard of.

 

[TradeDraft]

A top four team to lose the first week then go on to win the premiership.
A new record will be set for most disposals in a game.
Two teams to go undefeated until they meet each other.

 

[winty]

Every game day thread involving Geelong on the main board to be full of posters complaining about the umpires favoring Geelong.

I might start the weekly Tips and Crowd Expectations a week in advance (instead of the standard 2hrs before a round finishes) just to annoy the usual few. I might go missing for a month or so at a time too so people can dance on my grave.

I'll start whinging about every crowd estimate that is more than 2,000 off in your threads. I'll also start one 3 weeks early just to get in before you and see how the universe reacts.

 

[TBoyleSuperstar]

Fyfe Brownlow
Franklin Coleman
Port win flag, Gray Norm Smith

Melbourne to win 6 games. Roos still hailed as a messiah.

Ross Lyon still seen to the be the best coach in the league despite again not winning a flag

 

[Magma]

daniel talia - brought to you by the rspca

 

[TheWhiteRhino]

Eddie's head/ Bigfooty to implode when Isaac Heeney wins the Rising Star award in a landslide.

 

[SterlingArcher]

-Hayden Ballantyne to win the Coleman as he takes on a key target role with the decline of Pav

-Notable retirees to include Scott Thompson (Adelaide), Chris Judd, Dane Swan, Paul Chapman, Dustin Fletcher, Matthew Pavlich, Luke McPharlin, Shaun Burgoyne, Daniel Cross, Brent Harvey, Chris Newman, Sam Fisher, Ted Richards, Beau Waters, Robert Murphy and Matthew Boyd. Lesser lights but still players worth remembering like Brent Staker, Andrew Carrazzo, Michael Firrito, Tom Logan and James Gwilt to also call time in a season that sees a huge number of champions bow out (Judd, Harvey, Pavlich, Swan, Chapman)

-Port premiers, Swans runners-up, Cats to be damn good for most of the season and finish 3rd

-Hawthorn and 8th place (1 of Adel/WC/Rich) out of finals to be replaced by Gold Coast and 1 of Adel/WC/Rich - my big prediction is the Hawks fall, no real basis before anyone has a sook about how good Hodgey and Roughy and Birch are, yes Hawks are a good team but they missed the finals in 09 despite being good and this is a prediction thread, not everything has to be 100% accurate

-Brisbane to set themselves to be the big 2016 riser with promising returns from Leuenberger, West, Rich and Redden, and Gardiner and McStay coming on faster than expected

-Buckley and Malthouse to step down from their positions within a few weeks of each other towards the end of the season. Brendan Bolton to get the Pies job, Robert Harvey to go to Carlton.

-Sanderson to be sacked, Goodwin instated as new coach.

-Bottom 4 to be Blues-Pies-Demons-Saints. St Kilda get given priority pick that has to be traded, and they land a big fish to go with the last 2 pick 1's. Giants to finish above Blues/Pies but with a much worse percentage, indicating that while their kids can beat on other teams, they still have a long way to go before they're playing with the big guns

-Gary Ablett to win the Brownlow, his 4th in total and 3rd in a row

-A surprise bolter to win the Rising Star - a 40-50's draft pick

 

[Sttew]

Jack Watts, Jarrod Waite, and Tyrone Vickery to have breakout years.......no this time, we really mean it.......

At new clubs

 

[Biggy_Boy]

A bold prediction about Geelong's fall down the ladder.

 

[Winter]

Malthouse to walk out on Carlton mid off-season claiming he doesn't have time to improve the list and isn't up for a re-build.

 

[The 747]

Malthouse to walk out on Carlton mid off-season claiming he doesn't have time to improve the list and isn't up for a re-build.

Mick to decapitate Mark Stevens during a live press conference

 

[Howard Littlejohn]

The Essendon saga to continue with no resolution and not one, not two, but three more court cases.

Gold Coast to win their first final.

Roby's Power Rankings to be re-printed each Tuesday in News Limited papers across Australia.

Plugger35 to say the umpires had a good game after a St Kilda loss.

People to top Sydney to finish in the lower reaches of the eight. Sydney to finish top four comfortably.

West Coast to bounce back.

Threads on how SoO could come back to occur in the off-season on a bi-weekly basis, and on an almost daily basis for the two weeks leading in RL's Ortigin series.

Original jokes about various clubs supporter groups, not least dental issues among Collingwood and Port fans.

brad to start the 2016 round 1 predictions thread at quarter time in the first qualifying final, approximetly 10 weeks before the fixture comes out.

South Africa to win the Cricket World Cup, breaking their run of chokes; and Japan winning the Asian Cup.

Tom to know what punters want, but blatantly ignore and keep advertising in every available slot anyway.

Somebody to point back to this thread and say how wrong somebody else was in some pointless argument where this thread is utterly irrelevant anyway.

AFL Reserves to be discussed at AFL HQ with more clubs pulling out of the NEAFL.

 

[bradrowe#32]

Everyone writing off Geelong and Geelong supporters getting all teary about it.

 

[Go the Guts]

Trade Draft To Over-Use Capitals at The Start of Most Words in Every Post He Makes.

 

[mike91]

GWS will still be a bottom 4 team and there crowds will still be low.

 

[The Swans Blog]

This thread can be all about everything that you think 2015 will have to offer.

Feel free to post anything!

Fire away.

Sydney premiers. Franklin first forward brownlow since plugger. Richards AA cb. Tippet Coleman. Entire Sydney team AA.

Roby to say Hawthorn only certainties for the 4th year running, only to change it before the gf and say he was correct all along.

 

[hutchy31]

There are only two absolute certainties:

1) Game day threads will be dominated by mind-numbing sh*tfights about umpiring bias
2) Many BF posters will continue to annoy the hell out of most of us (well, me at least) by not knowing the difference between there/their, your/you're etc.

Apart from that, the Doggies finally drafting a decent KPP and having a shot at finals would be nice.

What about the rampant use of tautologies?
