We will beat Carlton twice.

That's not really a prediction is it? That's more a certainty.

You're a great man trade draft
But Carlton is a certainty as losers (or wishful thinking)
Only for next year do I want to see Carlton win a game as in over hawthorn!

IF we play as bad as we did vs Tigers and Dees in the 2nd Game then anyone could beat us

We didn't have Treloar for those games

Steele Sidebottom earns All-Australian honors

Then gets traded for two first round picks, to beat Free Agency. We then ontrade those picks for O'meara.

Jack Frost to kick a goal

BenKen to go at 85% DE on Queens Birthday and poll 2 Brownlow votes. A thread will be started on whether this is Buckleys fault. Thread is later merged into Buckley megathread

Rupert Wills will play about 15 games, most of our draftees

Adam Treloar will win the Copeland

Someone will employ James hird

Travis Cloke will finish top 5 in the Coleman

Nat fyfe will have an average season

Jesus. That's a lot to take in

 

[Soups]

Nat fyfe will have an average season

Is that an average season compared to this year? Because I can see him going back to back brownlows.

Noooooooo... That would be a horrible outcome. I don't want to see us trade 2 first rounders for anyone ever again, except if Hogan or Cameron became available.

Jesse White preforms what the club asks of him, but still the media and supporters tears shreds off him cause they think he should be playing the way they want him to.

Well he is play for his Job this year

I'm just a person that thinks there are allot of players out there that get treated harshly cause they are not doing what the supporters and media think they should be doing but they are doing what the club is asking of them. Which means the fault could lie in the instructions to the player rather then in the player.

White to me is a third up forward not a second up. So I am expecting he will have his best year with us this year, now that there is more forward support.

20000% Agree with you.

Is there room to play White, Cloke, Howe, Moore and one of Grundy/Witts?

No it won't!!

 

[Mattwj81]

Short Answer is no, but it means depth and accountablity for our forwards. It means if someone is out of form or cant seem to get the ball between the big sticks they will find themselves back in the VFL trying to fix the issue rather then us just hoping for it go away.

It might also allow us to develop Moore better so we don't burn him out too soon. This is a great issue to have.

But White was Dropped during the Season. So it's not just Supporters and Media behind this

If all our tall forwards are fit White will be in the two's Round 1. He's depth now.

Yeah I know he was dropped Dav, but in saying that I think for most part he is going to great next season as the third up, I still think he wont play all those games cause his position will probably be rotated between a few players and will probably depend on the strengths and weaknesses with the other team.
