Thoughts on the year

[Collingwood_Forever]

Where do you guys think we will finish in 2005?????
I think anywhere between 4 and 8.
your thoughts?????

Mate, we will finish top of course with an injury and suspension free year! Blakey C will kick 100

 

[Collingwood_Forever]

Mate, I hope you are right...i just think with an injury free season we can cause a heap of damage come september.

 

[Wildman]

I think around 5th but with Caracella & Morrison could be higher,gives us extra depth roll on 2005.

 

[Murray]

6 to 8

 

[guess_who]

All depense on how we rebound and how we go with injuries. I don't think we are a skill full side how ever we are well drilled and disclipined when we want to be. I think we have enormous potentiall to finish high but as does every other team. I think for us to do well our main players need to be consistent and we need our second tear players to stand up ALA 2002. For us to be geniune condenders, Rocca needs to have a blinder and between him and Taz we need 100+ goals.

Go pies, can't wait for the season to start.

 

[Pie 4 Life]

1-8

We can all dream that will happen, I'm not sure that it will.

Don't count on morrison doing much. He is a slow player and I think we will all be disappointed with him. Another recruit from Mick Malthouse like Andrew Williams.

 

[Vinnie Vegas]

Damn, rosewarne, the rod up your butt has a rod up its butt!

What's with the negativity? You do realise your attitude has no effect on the players whatsoever, right?

If you believe in them, it won't make them play worse...

 

[Sinn]

Won't make them play any better too

 

[grayza]

injury free year and we would be lucky to crack the eight IMO

im still hoping for between 4-8 but i think between 6/7-12 is more reasonable at this stage

i cant wait to get back into it

 

[Johnson#26]

1-5. No less.

Morrison will crap all over Williams and be one of the inclusions to the side that ensures Williams stays in his rightful position..Willamstown.

Pies will be in the double chance stakes again meaning a top 4 finish.
The key factors in the difference to the side will be depth and development.
Merlin Malthouse has the perfect mix for success with a blend of old heads and fast and furious legs to match for the first time in his stint at pieland.
Iam not being mindless but our side has a different dimension to it attributed to the pain we endured this year.
We delisted a fair bit of depth at the end of 03 so we had to replace and revitalise our stocks. You know we are on the right side of road when you consider our draft picks will struggle to get senior football next year given the amount of talent we can have on the park at any given time.
We are stocking out talent pools for long term success and this is why Malty is gold....His foresight is borderline nostradamus!!!!

I would think if we have a full fit team, somewhere near the top 4, nothing much has changed, we haven't had a massive loss, and we have picked up 2 handy players. If we play like we did in 2002, we should have a decent chance of finishing top 4.

 

[dunno4]

We've picked up a bit of depth. I think Caracella will add the extra few goals we need to turn 2004's small loses into small wins in 2005. Morrison I don't think wil be a match winner but is starting 22 material so should help us be a tiny bit better.

Add a couple of youngsters improving and less injuries and we've got to be looking at 5 to 8.

Big questions are whether Taz and Pebbles can REALLY fire, and if Richards is fit enough to carry the ruck, if these 3 do the job, 1 to 4 is assured

 

[Sinn]

We also need Didak, Davis, Lonie, and other to fire aswell.

 

[Johnson#26]

Top 4 in 2005 should be our motto. We can finish top 2.

 

[Sinn]

We could go higher, if we play our best.
