The 2016 "No Chance In Hell" Predictions Thread

Ladder Position: 1st (& Premiers - defeat WCE by 120 points; Jones lauded for his rendition of "Stand By Your Man") - go through the year undefeated
Best and Fairest: 1st - Jones, 2nd - Levi, 3rd - Tutt, 4th - Cripps, 5th - Murphy
Rising Star Nominees: Smith, DVR, Foster, Weitering, C Curnow, McKay, Cuningham and SOSOS - 8 in all!
First Win: Round 1 v Richmond (Blues run riot and red-faced journalists hastily remove Carlton from Wooden-spoon predictions)
Best Win: v Hawks by 160 pts
Breakout Year: Graham, Smith, Boekhorst, DVR, Foster, Kerridge, Dick, Byrne, Sheehan, Jaksch, Whiley, Lamb, Sumner, Phillips, Plowman & Gorringe - whole team playing champagne football and both seniors and NB teams unbeaten on top of the ladder
2016's Hero: Jones - gets his own bronze statue outside Ikon Park; heads off to Syria after the GF to sort out the on-going ISIS crisis; wins both OZ Lotto and Powerball jackpots in the same week
2016's Villain: SOS - other teams say he cheated at the draft using a crystal ball to gain unfair advantage - all his selections deliver in spades
Coleman: Jones - 111 goals from CHF
Brownlow: Jones - 11 x 3 point BOGs
MOTY: Kreuz standing on Sandilands shoulders takes a spectacular one-hander - unfortunately misses rest of the year with severe altitude sickness and DVT complications
GOTY: White runs the length of the ground selling candy at every turn as he's hotly pursued by Cyril Rioli only to stub his toe as he kicks for goal - miraculously he just manages to back-heel the ball through the big sticks from 60m out as he is simultaneously tackled by Roughead, Hodge and Lewis
