Predictions for 2011

[Sound]

1. Where will we finish on the ladder after round 24? after finals?: 7th - Lose first week of finals playing interstate
2. Leading goal scorer?: Betts (40) - There will be an even spread of goal kickers between Betts, Garlett, Waite, Hendo and to a lesser extent Yarran, Collins and Robinson
3. B&F 1st, 2nd, 3rd: Judd, Murphy, Russell
4. Biggest improver? Paul Bower - Will make CHB his own and improve on his solid 2009 form before a horrific run with injuries
5. Biggest let down?: Chris Yarran and seeing any of Thornton, O'hAilpin, Fisher, Houlihan and Johnson running around again 2011
6. Ratts as coach, does it expire in 2011? If so, when?: Goneski at seasons end, after failing to win a final in the past 3 seasons
7. Any accolades? Mitch Robinson to win the AFLPA most courageous player award. Judd AA.
8. How many weeks will Waite be out suspended? 0

 

[Claypigeon]

1. We'll finish the season 4th. .. Lose the first final by 3pts (poetic reminder). .. Then we bounce back before losing a prelim by 1pt. .. 4th after finals. .. (More likely 5th or 6th)

2. Go out on a limb and say Garlett 40+ goals (hoping we share it around)

3. Murphy (1st), Judd (2nd), Simpson (3rd)

4. Kerr (followed by McLean, Bower, Walker & Jamison)

5. Carrazzo stagnates and others take over as main tag but is trumped by Walker who signs with GWS

6. Ratts gets a 2year extension

7. Murphy, Judd and Waite make AA

8. Zero games for Waite (its the only way we'll finish 4th)
