What Is Your Expectation for 2024?

[tiger_tough]

He literally couldn't kick the ball the last time he was on a field for the VFL.

I remember him lining up for goal and Maric yelling out from the boundary line "kick it like we did in practice".

He proceeded to barely drop the ball on his boot before missing by a mile.

He just needs to play some footy. Coming from a mile back.

Hopefully he gets some continuity in the VFL but we will have 3 or 4 talls that can ruck in the VFL this year so who gets the minutes????

Hopefully Ryan plays 2nd ruck in the afl team. Then Colina and crayfish can share ruck duties in the vfl amd Miller can stick to kpd. If Ryan is also playing vfl I'd expect him to play nearly exclusively forward.

Above Geelong and I’m all good.

I think we have a 50/50 shot of making the 8 don’t see us finishing lower than 12th

Beating Geelong at ABC stadium would be worth it lol.

You know if in 'What is your expectation for 2024' and we're talking about the potential of Colina, that we're in as s**t load of trouble.

 

[Madtiger2006]

Hayes Brown might be a decent pick up 18 months down the track.

If we can have a good run with injuries, then have lynch play most of the season. Anything could happen.

As well as losing a Grand Final you also double up on the pain of losing with s**t draft picks.

Simple really...to those old enough to remember, what still causes more pain? Losing the premiership to Carlton in 82 or winning the spoon in 2007? Could watch our very worst performances from 2007 without batting an eyelid. Still can't watch a replay of 82 though...

at least spoons are useful

our 2007 team would destroy the last 3 stand rule/4th umpire/dissent era premiers especially the shite pies the worst premier since footscray 2016

afl is a simulation now and the premier is decided by the corrupt afl

Who cared about Geelong. They're old and also need a rebuild. I'd rather them finish higher and middle rather than low and get good picks.

That's a club that would actually use its good draft picks to good effect, unlike some of the other disasters.

I reckon in our new look forward line Cumberland's capable of bobbing up and kicking 3-5 goals a few times and kicking 30 goals for the year. Would be nice to get another 40 out of Bolton if hes more fresh and composed in front of the big sticks and if Lynch and Balta combine for another 100 goals should put us in line for a top 6 finish.

Judson's proven he's good for a goal a game as is Dusty. Who knows if Sampson or Kozitsche can challenge each other for the 3rd tall fwd spot and Bob up especially dominating against teams without a genuine 3rd KPD. We might be back to 2022 FWD scoreboard pressure. The backlines pretty solid and think Gibcus and Brown can only be upgrades.

Midfield with Taranto, a fit Hopper and Dusty should really dominate most teams will be nice to start winning centre clearances. A fit, managed Prestias still pretty impressive being rotating through and Bakers gonna give his all. Surely Sonsie, Dow, Graham and Ross are ready to stake their claim. Would love to see Short and Banks on wings and McIntosh and Pickett phased out.

At full strength with a soft draw I can see us playing finals. Can see Saints and Melbourne dropping right off. Port have absolutely sold their future for a hand full of journey men. I'm pretty optimistic for this season and think Yze would've absolutely noticed the breath of fresh air in the final round against Port and seen what happens when the likes of Brown, Trezise, Banks and Dow were freed up. Thank f@$k watered down Hardwick and Xavier Clark are gone.

Will spew if Grimes plays round 1 on back of running laps. Him and McIntosh should be considered depth players now.

From what i saw against Melbourne, the club still thinks he is 1st choice for one of the wings.

Agreed

A lot depends on injuries and mentality of the players.

Still reckon they're burned out from the flags.
