While it impossible to predict the result of the one-off Grand Final match itself in 2001, we can certainly predict how many wins we will acheive in 2001.
Who knows, we could quite easily be the best team and lose the Grand Final, but I wanted to know how many H&A victories we will have.
Looking at our list, it is relatively young, which leads me to believe we will see some natural improvement from the younger players who havn't reached their peak.
Having said that, we can't possibly have the same luck with injuries, and we won't have the same level of motivation as we did in 2000, due to the fact that there is no tragic loss burning in our hearts like there was at the end of 1999.
I think we can still win 19 Home and Away games. 19-3 would be an awesome performance, when all the other teams are gunning for us.
Is that too ambitious ?
