Then we find out very quickly that Hinkley hasn't learnt from his mistakes and/or is totally unable to get this side up and we can move him on early, rather than string it out. No excuses of WADA next year. With him giving faith to the players burning us, the list is 100% his now and lives and dies by it with no blaming others.
Annoying, but they did better than us last year and had bigger crowds. We got what we deserved unfortunately. Given the respective clubs demographics of Members though them with 2 Thursday nights and us an extra Friday or Saturday night in place of ours would have suited us better and had 0 effect on them. Pensioners a late night is the same any day of the week, we have a lot of families at games.
Based on what? Collingwood's trading was WTF? Suns got a heap of picks, which will be good for 2018 / 2019 if they come on and West Coast got Vardy and a 67 year old Sam Mitchell. GC will get some improvement if they don't have a horror injury run again, but not 'challenge for the eight' level.
Eagles w/o Nic Nat. Redden and Jetta were meant to be massive ins for WCE midfield last year, both don't make the team because they don't fit into their structure. Mitchell will make a difference but will not make up the loss of Nic Nat.
The Suns should improve because I doubt they will 21 on the injured list by Rd 6 or 8 like this season. They won their first 3 before they racked up double digit figure injuries. I reckon they will be the biggest improvers in terms of extra games won and rise up the ladder. That is ignoring Essendon of course.
Doesn't the fact that the game is to be played on a Saturday prove that at least one god doesn't exist?
I think doubling up on Collingwood will be ok, Brisbane should be dead last, but the other 3 are super tough. I think the Suns will be in our pushing top 8 bracket, WC top 4 and Adel top 6.
