1) Ross Lyon will be sacked mid year...
2) Tim Kelly will stay at Geelong beyond 2019
3) Tigers V Demons Grand Final
4) Hawks will finish bottom four
5) AFL announce sweeping changes to the format of womens footy

Ross Lyon to be sacked mid year? Unlikely unless we go 0-10 again like we did in 2016. Not gonna happen with Freos draw. That's not a prediction, you want it to happen.

Hawks finishing bottom 4? Again, That's not a prediction, you want it to happen.

Typical Bigfooty Bastardization post.

Of course i do, i also know Tim Kelly is not staying beyond 2019, nothing like a bit of wishful thinking at the end of January!

 

[Hawk Dork]

Hawks continued success will rile many BF posters

 

[Freomaniac]

And your mate Ross Lyon wont be sacked mid year, he will last this season.

Off season, I think it's a but of a free for all.

Oh, i might get that one right, watch this space! Gone by the BYE?

 

[HTPunter]

Contrary to popular belief, the ladder will not end up with the same teams in each third (i.e. WC, Coll, Rich, Melb, GWS, Haw in the top 6) but in a different order. There will be at least 1 slider and 1 bolter etc.

More rule changes to lessen congestion to counteract the new rules that were to lessen congestion that ended up increasing congestion.

The AFL executives giving themselves a pay rise on the basis that crowds or ratings or both are up (riding on the coattails of WC, Richmond and Collingwood)...wait why did I even bother to mention this.

The AFL will lecture us all on more social justice themes whilst still having plenty of issues in their own house.

Sam Day will win the Norm Smith....nah I`m tipping Angus Brayshaw will.

 

[TigerTime_89]

1. This will be the last year of Richmond v Carlton season opener.
2. A team who wasn't in the bottom four in 2018 will get the wooden spoon this season.
3. Two of St. Kilda, Fremantle and Brisbane will make finals.
4. GWS finish 1st after finally having a good injury.
5. Melbourne will struggle to make finals, but will.

 

[Yojimbo]

1- The "China" game is a lock out after the AFL promise a tin of baby formula free with every ticket purchased.

2- The IOC confirms AFLX as an Olympic Sport for the next Olympics.

3- Brett Ratten is already the Head Coach at St Kilda.

4- Sam Newman challenges Tony Hawke in the Octagon and beats him to death with his skateboard.

5- Bruce McAveney and Michael Slater battle for commentator of the year, then both become women.

 

[Jibroni]

1 Eddie and Bucks to feud over coaching strategy.
2. Jesse retires for a surfing career
3. Gill resigns
4. Brizzy make the finals, Bombers miss again.
5. Dees to break the curse.

I concur with the above post.

We wait and see though. Give us 20 plus games out of Kelly, Greene and Williams and it would be a good start.

3.StKilda to win the wooden spoon.

4.Melbourne to finish top 4 and get a home first final.

5.Carlton to go back to their defensive game style of 2017. Will be more competitive. Walsh rising star also.
