Competitions 2017 Predictions

[06Premiers]

I've liked everyone's pot in this thread

Slow down Matty.

 

[SpaceClef]

1) How many WCE wins? 7 or 8, I think we'll stagnate while teams around us improve. See below.
2) Where will WCE finish on the ladder? 13th, I think early season we'll fall behind and then decide to play the youngin's.
3) Who will win our B&F? Gaff, the guy is a jet.
4) Who will our starting ruckman be R1? Giles. Lycett will come back later, English* will get a run too.
5) What round will Nic Nat play next? R1 2018, no point rushing him back and playing him if we don't make finals.
6) Who will be our first round draftee? Tim English, not my choice but reminds me of Cox, we seem to love drafting talls.
7) How many derby wins for 2017? 0, Freo are a contender next year, better team now than in 2015.
8) How many All Australians? And who? Josh Kennedy, has another 50+ goal season but no Coleman.
9) Name our top 3 goal scorers in order. Kennedy, Darling, LeCras.

Make Trolls Subtle Again

[Eaglespur]

Darling is the best

 

[big bootaaaaah]

That was random

 

[dajesmac]

How do we love drafting talls? Haha if I'm not wrong other than Allen our last tall was Barrass and before that I think it was McInnes?

So unless I'm having a mental blank we've drafted two genuine talls since 2011 in the main draft...and one was a pick in the 60s.

That's just a silly claim to make

Lamb is tall

 

[ChampRevesby]

Lamb is tall

But the ox is patient.

But Ox is patient.

A lot of gambling addicts will tell you that

 

[EagleShore]

I think we did one of these for season 2016. Has anyone found the thread and scored it?

[javaguice]

I predict lots of melting and overreacting.

Lots of holes to fill. lower half of eight. the rest depends on nata.

McGovern for brownlow.

 

[dajesmac]

Lamb is tall

Lamb is tall without strictly being a tall. But either way I think my point still stands, it's an odd thing to have said.

Maybe he was just providing insight that we love drafting talls (even though we haven't drafted many lately but when we do we love it)....

Umm, what he said ^^^^^^^^^^^

Silly at least change one small detail or you'll have to split the prize, what if matt_bas' prize he has for the winner is a car or holiday? Could get messy......it is a competition isn't it?

[BestCoastLifer]

Should we be concerned with Priddis and Mitchell's age?

 

[ChampRevesby]

Should we be concerned with Priddis and Mitchell's age?

Nope. Be concerned when they retire and we don't have suitable replacements.

 

[BestCoastLifer]

In particular looking forward to seeing
- Mitchell's influence
- The continued development of McGovern and Barrass
- Early schedule bit light. Early tests will be interesting against improved St Kilda, Hawthorn in transition, Sydney and those purple bastards who improved over trade period but will undoubtedly counted the chickens and be thinking they're a top 8 side again, probably a smokey top 4.
- Potential top 4 finish
- Donny from Spearwood's call into 6PR after we win the flag?

Question marks for me:
- Ruck stocks
- Hope not, but will this be the year Josh Kennedy starts to show signs of age?
- Midfield, short-term looks ok. A ton of questions surrounding the mid-term future of our current midfield makeup.
- Not a question as such, but after 2015 GF and last year's W1 finals debacle, would like to see some heart in this year's finals campaign.
- Will NN play again? Based on his Instagram account, only rehab he looks to be doing is prepping his triceps for festival season and looks like he just turned 42.

Is he not allowed to fish?

 

[big bootaaaaah]

Why? Are you worried they might lose a yard or two in pace? That would be walking
I don't think their age will be a concern yet for their role type and they aren't nursing any past major injurys.

 

[big bootaaaaah]

He could tear a delt holding it that far away from his body
