Seems that flags and top 8 positions will be much easier to come by (and spoons much more difficult) than they were in the 00’s and 10’s
 
I'm only going to attempt 27. - we have not gone a single calendar decade without winning at least one flag since the 1950s, so abso-bloody-lutely. Hawk haters, start preparing your salt....

1. Will any team score 200+ in a game? No (With the exception of Tassie when they enter the comp having a similar start to GWS getting thumped)
2. Will any team be held goalless in a game? No
3. Will any player kick 100+ goals in a season? No
4. Will any player kick 12+ goals in a game? Yes
5. Will any player have 55+ touches in a game? Yes
6. Will any player play his 400th game? Yes
7. Will any player win back-to-back Brownlows? No
8. Will any team win back-to-back flags? Yes
9. Will GWS win their first flag? Yes
10. Will Gold Coast play their first final? No (Will fold/have license revoked between 25' & 30')
11. Will any of Melbourne, St Kilda or Fremantle win a flag? Yes (Melbourne)
12. Will any of the 18 current teams not exist in their current form at the end of the decade (e.g. relocated, merged, disbanded)? Yes (GC to fold/have their license revoked)
13. Will there be a team from Tasmania introduced? Yes
14. Will there be a team from the Northern Territory introduced? No (However discussion to begin about a Territorian team to cater to NT & ACT)
15. Will there be a third team from WA introduced? No
16. Will seasons remain at 22 H&A games per team for the whole decade? No
17. Will games remain at four 20-minute quarters for the whole decade? Not sure (There's already discussion regarding the fact that it currently never sticks to 20 minutes anyway. Quite often it seems to be 30-40 mins with time on)
18. Will there be a night Grand Final (i.e. starting after 6pm AEST)? Yes (The AFL seem quite keen to do so)
19. Will any player be suspended for at least eight games for an on-field incident? Yes
20. Will any team be stripped of premiership points or removed from a finals series? Yes
21. Will the centre bounce be retained for the whole decade? No
22. Will a conference system be introduced? No
23. Will the 6-6-6 rule be removed or altered? Yes (No rules are safe under Kim Jong Gill's reign)
24. Will every AFLM club have an AFLW team by the end of the decade? WTF is AFLM? (AFLW though will experience many struggles due to premature expansion,lack of talent pool & monetising games far too quickly. I don't want this to happen personally, but unfortunately it will/is already. Worked alongside an AFLW player this year and she's also worried about this but like many AFLW players does not comment on these things publicly)
25. Will the AFLW remain a stand-alone competition? Yes (and we will likely see the return of the AFL Reserves instead of VFL/WAFL/SANFL/NEAFL)
26. Will there be a game played in a country other than Australia, New Zealand or China? Yes (Essendon have already committed to playing for premiership points in India if I'm not mistaken? Personally I think all of this is rather pointless though as I do not see our game becoming a worldwide sport at any point in the future. I understand it from a money perspective, but still see it as rather pointless. Put the fans first FFS)
Team you support: Melbourne
27. Will your team win a flag? Yes. 2019 aside, we were on an upward incline for many years in a row. Injuries/Pre-Season surgeries cooked us in 19'. Have a feeling we will make the top 6-8 in 20'. Flag/s somewhere between 21' and 26'.
28. Will your team win a wooden spoon? Perhaps towards the late 20's/early 30's like many clubs do (top 4 followed by bottom 4 every 10 years sort of thing), however would rather see us pull a Geelong/Hawthorn/North Melbourne/Sydney and simply finish midtable even in our off years.
29. Will your team make finals in at least half (five) of the seasons? Yes
30. Will a player from your team win the Brownlow? Yes (one or more of Brayshaw/Oliver/Petracca (Umps seem to already be a fan of Brayshaw, but have yet to see Oliver's great attributes. We are getting closer to this though)
