As I'm sure most of you have noticed, this board is getting less action than a 40 year old virgin. matt_bas is sick of the same repetitive 'when is the draft, I've already had 6 subs in 45 mins' talk. So matt_bas thought he'd start this up and we can revisit in this boring period next year.

5) What round will Nic Nat play next?
6) Who will be our first round draftee?
7) How many derby wins for 2017?
8) How many All Australians? And who?
9) Name our top 3 goal scorers in order.

[ep2018]

1) How many WCE wins? 7 or 8, I think we'll stagnate while teams around us improve. See below.

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.

I've liked everyone's pot in this thread, but I can't like this. If I could dislike it, I would.

Geez so my prediction is less likeable than the post claiming Australia being invaded by the Chinese next season.

More likely to be invaded by the Chinese than winning only 7 or 8 games.
