I think we'll go pretty well this year, but no better than last year.

against the top teams at the pointy end of the year- that midfield of ours is bringing a knife to a gunfight.

Based on nothing but inherited form I might move Adelaide and Sydney up and Carlton and GCS down. I think pressure will break Carlton at some stage, hopefully near the end of the season.

The rest I stand by - so far

Heppell was done years ago, just Bumbers never let anything old die...

 

[austinnn]

Heppell was done years ago, just Bumbers never let anything old die...

Except their traditions and history

 

[moirae42]

I have been a Saints fool for almost fifty years.
Blind faith behind flawed lists, wasted era's, frightful management and repeated failure.
I have often questioned the effort, commitment and standards.
The reward has always been rare, fleeting and generally inadequate.

I've been to training five times this preseason. We have never, ever looked this drilled. This fit. This well tuned.

We are going top four.
When we get there we wont waste it.

Last year was exploration. This year is implementation.

Every time we take the park this year, we will be respected.

 

[Cairnsman]

Collingwood will drop out of the 8, 10 of their premiership players are over 30, and they have lost Murphy which will be significant.

We will lose to Geelong but flog the Pies.

 

[Mavefromdelburn]

[Saintos The ITK]

I’ve got $10 at $645 for Saints and Warriors to win the premierships.
Money well spent.
