I believe a lot of blues fans while being cautious and predicting another poor season they are under estimating our position for next season. Sure no one expects our new draft picks to turn the club around straight away although Murphy will show promise in his first season, but here is food for thought:
Expected improvement: Waite, Fisher, Simpson, Carrazzo, Betts, Bentick, Russell, Walker.
Expected big year: Fevola ( a fit shag could do anything ), Whitnall( confident of big season ) Stevens & Kouta ( will both have more midfield support ), French ( more support from McLaren ) Lappin ( contract distraction put to rest).
X factor: S.O'hAilpin
Point to prove: Saddington, McLaren.
Playing for their future: Davies, Wiggins, Prendergast, Bannister, Chambers, Longmuir, Houlihan. ( All will push for selection at some point )]
These are just some of the reasons I believe we will improve dramatically next year and while no one expects a top 8 finish it certainly is a possibility.
Cheers BH
