Whys everyone thinking Geelong will drop right off again ?

 

[Wojcinski]

Whys everyone thinking Geelong will drop right off again ?

wishful thinking

 

[Mr Meow]

Whys everyone thinking Geelong will drop right off again ?

Lost a bunch of close games, worst injury run in the club's history, will get a softer draw, biggest pre season since 2006/2007, usually bounce back from poor seasons = imminent disaster, apparently.

Top 4 is fanciful but bottom 3 seems a little hopeful on the other end of the spectrum.

 

[Son_Of_God29]

Brisbane - Can see them losing maybe 3 games
Collingwood - Won't lost at the G - Guarantees 15+ wins
GWS - The Orange Tsunami will continue
Carlton - Will be more consistent

Geelong - Easier Draw for the 1st time in half a decade - 9 games at KP
Port Adelaide - Finals or Bust for Hinkley
Sydney - Grundy will dominate
Melbourne - To much quality to miss finals

Gold Coast - They'll finish 9th under Hardwick
Adelaide - Possibly the most difficult club to place in terms of development
Western Bulldogs - Bevridge Gone Mid Season
St.Kilda - Is the list good enough to play finals with a harder draw
Fremantle - Do they know what sort of team they are
Richmond - Will they struggle of Lynch isn't the player he once was
Hawthorn -Another 20 games into that list - 2025 should be finals
Essendon - Days without winning a final win extend to 7000+
North Melbourne -Development is the Key
West Coast - As with North Development is the Key

Can't see Collingwood or Brisbane slipping, but I'm backing the surprise prelim finalists to be the two that join them. Geelong and Sydney with better injury runs and fixture lists should have a smoother ride. Adelaide looked on the cusp. Dimma to get the Suns to breakthrough to finals football, at last.

Some slippery rides for the 4 I've picked just outside the 8, as a controversial addition. Straight sets usually doesn't bare well. St Kilda could easily have have a hiccup season before taking a step forward in 2025 and Bevo's Dogs love to frustrate.

Ive been waiting years for it now, surely its close

 

[JackFlash]

It's always amusing to see these predictions pre-trade and draft period with emotions still running high for many after the completion of the 2023 season. I will do this at least 3 times before kick off in 2024 and i have no doubt it will change dramatically.

Big footy: Predict Essendon bottom 4.

Essendon: finish 10th

Big footy: Geez didn't Essendon choke.

never change dudes.

 

[Run n Spread]

If I had a dollar for everyone predicted Pendles to fall away

Not saying he will but the guts who pulled it out of the fire in each final crisp Pendlebury side b howe Adams in the qf are collectively a year older.
I'm as thrilled as any fan believe me but this is predominantly the 18 group rather than the youth driving it.
Still with peak daicos x2 degoey and moore another tilt isn't out of the equation

 

[Dazb86]

Why do Geelong fans think they'll get an easier draw? The AFL isn't fair. They don't operate on an even playing field at all when it comes to the draw.

My stab at it...

2. Brisbane
3. Collingwood
