I reckon between 10-14.
Reasons-
Didak -out for about half a season and no pre season
Clement-will miss most of the pre season
Holland-out for 6 weeks
Fraser-Knee surgery and will miss pre season

The modern day game is very unforgiving on players who don't have a good pre season. These guys are so important(holland not as important) that without have a pre season I just can't see them having the same influence they had last year. It also seems that when a team starts to have a bad run with injuries it seems to snowball so unfortunately I have a bad feeling the injury list will continue to grow.
 
10th to 14th

Harsh I know but the way I see it,

We have pretty much the same plod squad who are only getting older.

Bux, Burns, Wakes nearing the end

Didak, Dutchy out

Fraser dodgy

New kids developing nicely but not ready to take a season 'by-the-scruff-of-the-neck' just yet.

Pretty much see it as a development/transition year

Of course, I hope I'm wrong.
I am looking forward to seeing the continued development of some of our very talented kids and I think this year's draftees look pretty exciting and are going to be interesting to follow.

Sensible response at last....realist

The club is going to want to improve so top 8 should be expected.

Interesting to see if Buckley plays forward and if he does how many he gets.
 
Call me optimisitc, but i am expecting a top 4 finish. People wrote us off this time last year, but i think the benefit of having our two best pre-season campaigns back to back will see us in good stead for the year. The rapid improvement of our 2nd-4th year players will be also play a huge part.

Can't see us exactly repeating our performance of last year with big names out early (Holland, Didak, Fraser limited PS). Last year I said 6-10, this year I will say 8-12. We had a few shining lights out of the blue who were sensational, ie. Shaw, Swan and Johnson back to best. Can't see anyone really becoming an elite player in the league like these three became last year.
 
Given all things equal with a healthy dose of luck, bottom eight (5-8). Regardless of the position though, I believe we are on the right track and will be pleasantly suprised by some of our good up and comers. Brighter years to come.:thumbsu:
 
Are Fraser and Didak injured? Our best and our most consistent players under a cloud, that means trouble I fear.

That said we play a team game, more than most sides and if the coach is firing the players will win us games.

I doubt we'd win a final but I hope we'll play one.

Head says 10th (like it did last year) heart says 5th again. My balls are saying we're gonna win the flag, but they've never been noted for their judgement.
 
nice tips people. Your boys will be struggling to make the eight this year. Rebuilding and can't really say how long it will take for the pies to impact in the comp. Maybe 2-3 yrs, i think St Kilda will follow in your footsteps if they can't win a premiersip over the next 2 years. Collingwood 9-13 finish.
