Prediction Operation Make The 'Eight' in 2017

[Sherrinator]

**** it 3kz you've convinced me, I'll see you lot at the GABBA in 2017. If I can scrounge together some cash I'm sure you lot with real jobs can too!

I think you could really make a go of your business if you sold some product before you smoke it.

Plus it's tax-free.

Operation Enough with the Operation Threads.

Operation = doomed to fail
So effectively you are saying to keep on with the operation threads? Yes?

The draft period indicates that this thread is making a difference and a Top Eight position is a real likelihood.

We will be a full year younger than the next youngest,sort like an expansion team in their first year but with about a fifth of the top draft picks that GC and GWS had.

After our draft haul it should be changed to Operation make the top 4 in 2017.

Should be operation "be competitive" and "actually defend".

Being realistic it is going to be a tough year, we can't put too much expectation on the kids to step straight in.

On the plus side some of the guys from previous years are ahead of schedule and have a fair bit of experience. Schache, hippy, Keays, Cutler, Taylor, matho, Andrews, mcstay, gardner, hammer are all at least a year ahead of schedule on games played. Though it might be a case of "unlearning" some poor habits.

But it is too much the new guys to come in and have an impact, especially bags who is very skinny. Hopefully they just play him forward and pinch hit on a wing

Yeah not many wins but hopefully an enjoyable year to look on in a development sense

I'm really excited about our opening games in 2017.

Round 1 the Q Clash at Metricon Stadium to kick things off. Hopefully we remain injury free over the off season and can send out our best 22 in what will be a challenge against a new and improved Suns line up. Should be a bit fiery going up against Steven May and Pearce Hanley.

Round 2 First home game at the Gabba for the season and we should draw a good crowd on a Saturday evening against the Bombers. I am hoping we put in a good show in Round 1 and play some exciting footy leading to a bit of a buzz in the lead up to this game which should be the closest thing we'll get to a "blockbuster" being a Sat night at the Gabba against one of the big Vic clubs with a decent crowd.

Round 4 At the Gabba against the Tigers. Once again should draw a decent crowd against them on a Sunday afternoon and hopefully we can finally put an end to our losing streak against them.

Three winnable games that the boys should work hard towards to get the season off to a promising start.

Have we made the top four on the "Operation Threads" 2016 table. Finals beckoning for us.
