Prediction The Ridiculous, Far-Too-Early 2018 Predictions Thread

[Demon 16]

I've moved on...

But yes I think Mahoney is a bit of a light weight, and I'm not liking a couple of things I've seen from Goody recently.

But yes I may have burst a valve

I'm glad you've let it all out.

It always helps to speak to someone, and we're all here for you, man.

Watts will be a spud.

Gawn will continue to struggle.

We will smash north.

Lever will make the "we paid overs" STFU by about half time of our first game.

Goodwin in front of a camera is awful, but he can coach.

I think he's cool as a cucumber.

He's just got limited charisma, but that's not really a priority for us now.

Roos was a godsend at that time. I've heard him admit that he wasnt at the forefront of modern footy tactics though, and that Goodwin was (despite the basic structures remaining the same for some years).

Roos was a far better media operator than Goody but I saw more successful tactical moves from our coaching box this year than I did in 14-15-16. It is just a question of man management from here for Goody imo

Bit more to work with this year though, to be fair.

I always imagine game day is like this

Opening Bounce
"Ok lads, we've been practicing this game plan of mine all summer. Its high risk high reward and needs every man making good smart of footy decisions around the ball"

QT - 6 goals down
"Ok well we'll practise that plan some more next week....
Tmac get your arse forward
Lewis... sit behind the ball
Play defensive then give it to Jayden
ANB.... run like buggery when we get it so you end up alone in the 50."

So did anyone predict the event of this week with the players/coach training thing?

I think every Richmond, North, and Adelaide supporter did because they sure as hell didn't shut up about it.

The answer is no. And I am hoping it's an aberration that doesn't impact our season.

I think OMAC will have a breakout season. He’s got good size, he’s quick and he’s brave. The only thing holding him back last year was inexperience and lack of body strength. I reckon Oscar will be our CHB for the next decade, hopefully including a few flags.
In other predictions, I think Watts will be totally underwhelming at Port. I’m watching the round one game now and he is just awful in the contest. I liked him as a person but really he is a sub-par AFL player.
And Clarry to win the Brownlow. He’ll kick it more this coming season and he will be well and truly on the umps radar after last year.

 

[Tempy Tiger]

And we will all be on the Joel Smith bandwagon by round four.

Which smith is he?
Is that son of Shaun?

That’s the one. He’s a jarred Waite clone, but hopefully with more than half a brain.

Having the two smiths on our list is confusing me a lot.

And Clarry to win the Brownlow. Hr.

I have said this for a while, but i think Truck will win a brownlow Before before Clarry
