Preseason predictions are so easy.
When they are this obvious yeah they are.
Don't worry, I'm going to bump every single post this year.
I doubt you'll be bumping anything.

Or how wrong they've been for so long.
They were wrong last year as well when they tipped us to miss the top 8. If Ablett and Taylor kick those last second goals against Richmond and the Bulldogs respectively, and Guthrie, Cockatoo and Ablett don't get injured against West Coast, we'd have finished in 2nd spot again. And we had a bad run with injuries last year too.Wrong in 2011, 2013, 2016 and 2017 when they tipped Geelong to slide only for Geelong to finish top 2 again in all of those years.
Were they wrong in 2015 and 2018 though when Geelong finished 10th and 8th in those respective years?
I doubt you'll be bumping anything.
I am reading it and weeping ..with laughter bahahaha (gasp pause for breath) bahahahaWe will finish top 2 this year.

West CoastName the teams that you think will finish ahead of us.
Think you’ve got the pictureName the teams that you think will finish ahead of us.
You also beat Melbourne twice by less than a kick. And that’s just off the top of my head.We lost three games by less than a kick. Had we won it would have seen us finish second. We had what was acknowledged to be one of the harder draws and ran with the second most debutants, many of whom showed lots of upside. I see plenty of room for improvement.
I don't agree with you, but am happy for the Cats to remain underrated.
I think we are a chance as are a good number of teamsNot agreeing with you on your mostly subjective points of view = I don't know much about football.... seems legit.
As it stands today, I think that midfield is overrated, reading off pages of accolades does nothing for the question at hand, Geelong flag 2019? not a chance.
We will finish top 2 this year.
Read it and weep.
Not even close to the "best midfield assembled", Hell, its not even the best Geelong midfield in the last decade....... Just a massive media beat up that seemingly some people eat up and accept. Dangerfield is the only A1 jet in that midfield, Selwood is an overrated battler and Ablett is a has been, heck Duncan is the 2nd best midfielder at that club but gets no accolades because he isnt a "media superstar".
Its no surprise it hasn't worked, nor will it work... getting an injury plagued 34 year old Ablett back to the club as a top up to basically attempt to have an assault on the flag. Surprise, surprise once again shot blanks, Ablett was regularly playing on 1 leg and just shows this club was in desperation mode. More of the same next year.
Good to see you think an honest analysis of where your club is at is more fit for the bay than mb.
lol Daniel McL thoughts kent?
To improve enough to win finals in the first place the coach would have to accept that we have to change the way we play & I don’t know if he’s ready to accept that.
If he has accepted that and realised that we need to move the ball faster out of defence & through the midfield, plus apply a lot more pressure inside 50 (which I’m hoping the additions of Dahlhaus + Rohan mean), as well as give more responsibility to the younger guys pushing into the midfield like Parfitt, Narkle, Fogarty, Constable, etc then we are a chance imo.
We are such a consistently inconsistent team though so it really could go a few ways:
- Everything we try works & we don’t have too many injuries throughout the year & we actually stand up in finals then we could win the flag.
- We’ll stay around the same mark, making finals but not being a threat in the finals.
- What we change doesn’t work and we finish 12-16th.
No idea which way it’s going to go.
Good post.
Yup, it could go any which way. And probably will.
I find it interesting to see that in every shot of preseason training there’s Scarlo replete in hat and sunnies driving team performance. Scotty is obviously doing what he does best and that’s sitting in a smokey room strategising. Did we add someone to assist with this? I thought I saw something to that affect.

And they'll be wrong again.
The people of this country hate being wrong so year after year they'll predict the same outcomes hoping to finally right their wrongs. The process continues until they're eventually proven right and then they'll turn around and say I told you so.
It'll happen eventually but it won't be next year. We have too much top end talent to fall down the ladder.
No chance. Their best young mid desperately wants out and from all reports it's affecting team harmony. Won't make the top 8.
We will finish top 2 this year.
Read it and weep.
Aslong as you learn from Richmond and don't get gastro, the cats are a chance
Yes Geelong are my tip for the flag this year.Some very fine lines in footy, on the other side of the coin you won two games against us by less than a goal both decided by last second shots on goal.
Anyway are Geelong your tip for the flag this year? I'm tipping them for the flag this year as mentioned in the original post.
Yes, kick them out of the League i say, uncompaetive no - hopers the lot of them.....there is no future in Geelong's dreaming! .Danger, Ablett and Selwood should retire, their recrutiing officer doesn't know what he's doing and they're run as badly as Cricket Australia!
Na, keep it here. I want it to remain here for the entire season so those embarrassing trolls can remember the errors in their ways.Yes at least investigate the Bomber, Dank drug issues (during their time at GFC) that seems to be true seeing as Bomber and Dank have been busted
Seriously this thread has sunk as the Titanic did, to the Bay 13 with this one
