Prediction Bold predictions 2018 - What are your predictions?

[JayJ20]

Beating Carlton anytime is a good feat - those cheats have some kind of voodoo over us - like norf

For whatever reason, their midfield smashes ours and our forwardline just doesn't score much. One of those weird bogeys

 

[JayJ20]

I reckon Stringer will be one of our best mids. I'm talking 45+ goals averaging 27 possessions.

Oh and our midfield will defend. Very bold.

 

[windyhill]

Saad. All Aust. EtiSaad stadium.

 

[jmoo wan]

we will be the Oceanic Champions of the world in LoL

eSportzzzzzzz!

 

[DERO]

I am afraid I am going to be hooked up to NBN so probably won't have enough reliable bandwidth.

 

[Bombers36]

Richmond will go back to back
Sydney will be rocked by a drug scandal
Long will cement himself in the seniors by years end
Woosha will dye his hair blue
Several players will ‘come out’ and one will get married

[Blind Turn]

McKenna will top our Brownlow votes.

We will score 160+ points in a game.

Gleeson will be in AA squad.

Bags will fail to return to the team post-bye.

Langford will not miss a game.

Grant Thomas will be appointed our new coach when Woosha is dragged by the ear across the Nullarbor by his wife.

The Ollie Wines-train will gain momentum.

We will lose a semi-final to Adelaide.

Colin Robertson will king-hit Tim Watson at a Tasmanian Hawthorn game.

The James Hird/Caro love affair will be exposed as the reason for her leaving The Age.

 

[Mad Bomber Sean]

1. McKenna to become elite
2. Begley & Langford to become locks in the 22 by seasons end

 

[Lord Cotton]

We will beat a top four side convincingly, leading to increased media attention and media hype early in the season.

Daniher and Hooker to both kick 50+ goals.

Merrett to be in the top 5 for Brownlow votes.

[Seagrave_Holmes]

We fail to qualify for the finals

 

[YoboD]

Port to make the top four and then go out in straight sets.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

"No hangover here"
"Short pre season won't stop us"

Lots of pressure on the Tigers to back up last years flag will do a Hawthorn 09 and miss finals.

Pressure from where?

Given what followed Hawthorn's 09, I hope the Tigers aren't on the same path going in the same direction. Insufferable!

[Jesse Custer]

Premiers

 

[BrunoV]

I'm going to say McKenna All-Australian.

 

[Lore]

I'm going to say McKenna All-Australian.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Pressure from where?

Everyone.

When your team wins a flag you have a target on your back people will be expecting them to go back to back anything less then a Grand Final for them is a failure.

You're right should have said Dogs haha

 

[Howard Moon]

somebody blows a knee in afl x and it descends into a rookie only competition

 

[citizen-erased]

Finish 5th.
Will catch a lot of teams out with a side that has had an extra pre-season to work each other out
Pace and scoring will cause headaches for a number of clubs.
Another year of maturity into a list that is probably 12 months from entering its prime

RS noms for Francis and Begley.
Begley becomes Oliver mk2 (in terms of season 1 to 2 fitness level increase) and takes out RS.

5x AA spots
Daniher, Merrett, Hurley, Fantasia, Stringer

2x in the squad
Heppell & Smith

Boldest prediction:
We see a consistent year from the team
Losses will come from tough games in SA and WA, but on the whole will win the remainder
Dreamtime upset against the reigning premier.

 

[boncer34]

Pressure from where?

Are you kidding?

Reigning premiers always have high pressure put on them to replicate the success whether it be from within the playing group itself, the board, media, fans etc.

How that impacts all players individually I couldn't tell you but I can tell you it played on the minds of some Dogs players last year.

Not to mention with all the nuffies in their supporter base all it takes is a weak start to the season and talk back radio will again be flooded with their fans baying for blood.

 

[JayJ20]

I have a bold prediction.

We won't lose to a bottom 4 team. Nah too bold
