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

The most likely of any listed so far

I'd bet your house on item #2.
 
1. JHF wins the rising star. We have 3 nominations for the award (Curtis, Goater the others).
2. McKay, Zurhar, Hall in AA squad.
3. Nick Larkey in the AA team and finishes second in the Coleman medal.

bonus prediction. We finish 9th and miss the finals by percentage with a record of 12/10 along with 6 other teams in the most even year of footy seen in ages. We go into the last game needing to beat the suns by 93 points and only win by 70 kicking an in accurate 17.22. Slevo, Thomas and Cam Z kicking 4.14 between them.

1. Powell get 16 votes in the Brownlow.

2. H-F kicks 35 goals in his first year.

3. Footy word discovers that Barrett has been walking around on his hands for years and his head looks like a scrotum with glasses because it actually is and that he has literally been talking out of his arse.

BTW,
Happy Christmas (or whatever it is that you celebrate at this time of year) and a happy new year everyone.
 
1. Due to massive covid outbreak, AFL allows 10 day contracts like the NBA to draft in retired players to replace isolating players. So....who we gonna get? My predictiion is big Wayne #18 fit and firing after the SAS reality tv show, will be back, parked at Full Forward for 1 or 2 games mid winter.

2. Clarkson to replace Voss after 8 weeks.

3. Giantroo employed as head of North Melbourne media department.

If it were anyone it would be Boomer, and he’d probably finish top 10 in the Syd.

This is a bit of a conspiracy theory, but I think that in mid-2019, when Boomer started participating in pretty much full training with the group + with COVID disrupting state leagues, Rhyce and Co were genuinely considering bringing him out of retirement in the mid-season draft. Didn't eventuate but I think it might have been on the table for a bit there.

How is that a conspiracy theory?

(Ahhh because in mid 2019 covid was disrupting things. See they're messing with time.)
 
Predictions:
1 - Thomas wins Syd Barker & makes AA extended squad
2 - JHF has a 20+ disposal 3+ goal game
3 - Powell comes top 3 in Syd Barker

More Realistic Predictions:
1 - Larkey kicks 50+ goals, seeing significant benefit of CCJ into the side
2 - Perez & Goater show enough for us to stop freaking out about our back 6 post Hall & Ziebell
3 - Hugh Greenwood plays 22 games and contributes to career best years for Simpkin & Davies-Uniacke

I am predicting we will be preempting 1993 again . There will be signs in some games that we look like we have come of age , only for us to lose to a team we were favoured against the following week . Win between 5 to 10 games. 2023 it will really begin . Harness the potential of this group and we could get very far into September in the future years for a number of years too, if everything aligns. But that is easier said than done , but I reckon we can get there.
 
Larky wins the Coleman
Hawthorn or Collingwood have the fewest wins this season
JHF wins the rising star*

*not that bold but I'll make a bit of coin if 2 of those pan out. If all 3 happen I will clean up
 
My bold prediction is that two weeks injury time actually means two weeks!
 
1. Ben McKay changes his name to Barry McKay just to mess with an already confused AFL media
2. Cam Zurhaar dresses up as Rod Farva from Super Troopers for Mad Monday
3. In response to a new Truth In Advertising Act the membership dept quietly shelves the ‘Membership Package’ and replaces it with the ‘Membership Envelope’
 
Dunno really. I expect:
1. Brian Taylor will call Collingwood the best side ever to win the spoon and declare it an aberration. Meanwhile Pendlebury and Sidebottom will retire and Jack Magden will still be forced out due to Salary cap pressures. Pies fans will label Magden a future Brownlow medallist but there will be zero interest from other clubs. Some pies fans will back Mason Cox to win the Coleman.
2. Michael Christian will continue to invent rules to suspend North players in order to look tough for the other clubs and the AFL. Meanwhile Patrick Dangerfield will be given a suspended fine for third degree murder.
3. I will continue to run out of ideas half way through a post, but then decide that it really doesn't matter and come up with some mad whimsical ramblings to make it look like I took the thread seriously.
