What are your three bold predictions for 2022?

[teethmeetsflesh]

As a matter of interest what makes you say he might do that ?
Feeling ? heard rumblings ? total guess ?

I just have a feeling, but it is similarly as baseless as the other predictions on this thread.

 

[darko]

Larkey finishes top-5 in Coleman race.
Tarryn makes AA squad.
We win 8 games.

 

[The Dingrel]

1. LDU has the breakout season we’ve all been waiting for winning the 2022 B&F and polling Top 5 in the Brownlow. He puts the competition on notice similar to Petracca in 2020. Asserts himself as our next No.1 mid after many thought he may not be the player he should be.

2. JHF is the runaway 2022 Rising Star winner having one of the most influential seasons by a first year player since Chris Judd.

3. Charlie Comben is the surprise packet of 2022. Plays all 22 games and kicks somewhere between 40-50 goals.

All of the above has us pushing for the 8 for most of the year is an improvement the pundits did not see coming this quickly.

If chom bags 40-50.....I'd assume Souva good for for 50-60,,,,,,,and if you add in, 20-30 for Zurhaar, TT and Stevo, plus 20 odd for JHF.....I reckon we'll be more than "pushing" for finals!

to average 20 possessions and 2 goals game.

 

[Caracas]

From what I can gather, we appear to be favourites for the wooden spoon again in 2022. I, most certainly, would not be content with that outcome.

2. McKay All Australian
3. Tarryn Thomas to average 20 possessions and 2 goals game.

Very bold prediction but honestly if any player in the comp is going to get there it's out of Petracca, Dusty and Tarryn.

Pies or Hawks shoe ins for spoon.

l so hope it's the Pies...

 

[King Corey]

1. Paul Curtis to play in preseason senior games
2. Comben and Xerri to conspire to put CCJ in a similar logjam to what he faced at Richmond
3. We will extract a very good senior player from another side. The story will break around August

 

[andana]

1 We will be the highest scoring team, for and against

2 We make the finals and have to play it in Covid free Oodnadatta

3 Taz begs to come back

That’s what the thread asked for. He’s capable of it.

 

[Val Keating]

In 2021 Thomas averaged 18.2 possessions and 1.1 goals a game

But he averaged 2.6 shots at goal.

Maybe 20 and 2 is not so bold after all

Yeah he’s not that far off, but it’s bloody hard to do. I’m assuming he gets better but player development isn’t usually linear.

Media to complain about how unfair it is. Wait this is the thread for bold predictions.

 

[Krakoueraddict]

Yeah it can tend to be a big jump in any of a players first 5-6 years and small steps/plateau after. As we know Tarryn has all the skills and physical attributes to be anything, comes down to mindset and other intangibles to see where his ceiling is. I hope to see many more games like his outing vs Carlton this year.

 

[shinboner magic]

If you take out the mess of the first 7 rounds and he’d be pretty close.

 

[ferball]

If you take out the mess of the first 7 rounds and he’d be pretty close.

20.1 and 1.3 per game from round 8 on. (1.3 is one point three goals per game not one goal three behinds.)

So he needs to average that many possessions and kick another 2 goals every three games for the whole season to average 20 and 2.

Kicking another 2 goals every three games is a massive ask on top of what he did. But he has played less than three seasons so far. So its a reasonable chance he is up to the task.

After those predictions I didn’t want to go much higher than that but you’re not wrong

1. COVID explodes again and the season is compromised. WA restrictions will * everyone up.

2. Tef will self combust on twitter as 2/3rds of our list contract Covid, forcing us to upgrade Jas Garner and Em Kearney onto our main list.

3. Jack Mahoney will win the Brownlow after kicking 57 goals, rotating from the centre square and resting in the forward pocket.

All of these are givens, not bold at all!

 

[Colbys Boots]

I didn't enjoy writing it!

You could always not write it.

 

[Only Forwards]

My bold prediction is that someone on the list presents themselves as the answer to the KPB issue.

1. The VFL side makes the prelim after a slow start.

gets AA with the media jerk fest saying it’s his best season ever. But every Nth fan knows he’s played heaps better for years - but just in a Roos jumper so it’s not recognised.
3. Paul Curtis becomes the small forward we‘ve been crying out for, plays 10 or so games and kicks a few bags of 3 plus goals.
