The 2017 prediction thread

[tugga]

What number will ABSTAIN be wearing this season? And what type of player is he?
Six All-Australians in the fifth best team?

He goes alright ABSTAIN. Almost as good as the bloke called 'no-one in particular' who gets so many possessions each game that the commentators say his name repeatedly.

In a cruel twist of fate it will be a Richmond v GWS grand final. Lids will pull his calf in the first quarter and have to watch on as Lennon digs in and kicks 6 and wins the Norm Smith. In his acceptance speech for the medal Lennon thanks Lids for his help and that "this medal is for him". In closing for his speech he winks and gives the thumbs up to Lids.

A few month later it is discovered Lennon has harrassed and trolled Lids. Constent comments about the game and winning the Norm Smith have been sent with an unrelenting glee. The media picks up this story when Lennon sends Lids a box of ashes and melted metal with a video showing that the contents of the box are the burned medals accompanied by a note saying "Doesn't matter. I'll win another one". There is a big media circus with everyone saying how terrible this is.

Cotchins leadership gets called into question.

If Jack kicks 75 were not finishing 13th or only winning 8 games, we're making finals, fact.

The Saints were a bunch of spuds when Lockett was dominating*

They were but no one was double teaming him or dropping into the hole in front of him.
Like I said, if Jack snags 75 were finals bound because it means we are getting it forward more often than not and if the Lloyd's, Martin's, Rioli's of the world chip in with 20+ each we are not finishing with only 8 wins.
