disagree. we're still building a solid foundation. our core is now at a good point, now a lot of our draftees will push to be best 22 and increase depth or phase certain best 22 out imo

Tigers (of course 
).
Roos time is now or never, but I can't see them getting near the Hawks or Eagles in a cut throat situation this year (barring catastrophic injuries or a ton of luck). By next year some of the older brigade will be declining or gone, with the youth whose development they stifled either still on the sidelines or just learning their trade.
The Tigers chance will probably be from next year on, with a (hopefully) declining Hawks and a lot of development in the second tier (without which we won't have a chance).

Surely Yarran hasn't emptied the war chest!
You mistake lack of respect for "hatrid"
Win a final, any final first after your 3+ decades in the wilderness then get back to us
And neither.

Neither team will win a flag with their current crop at this stage imo, both they're lists are at their peak now and they have both yet to make threatening pushes into September (North less so as they actually seem to be able to perform on the big stage, unlike the tiggers).
They both remind me of us a few years back, 4 years of finals with a decent list without making a serious impact, then the drop off came with poor of-field decision-making relating to the football department (coaches, recruitment etc etc). Its just a matter of how long they can prop up their lists to be able to make one big push.

Yep that's in the past. This is 2016 we're talking about.
Adelaide (away), dogs (Etihad), Richmond, Geelong, West Coast (away), Hawthorn (away), Sydney (home) are all tenuous "wins"
All 50-50 or worse games for the ageing Roos.
I can go better than that and highlight their record against us since 1990 is pathetic. The odd win but they are what you'd call bunnies. Even last year when we rested half the side it took them 3 quarters to get over it.
We will beat Adelaide in round 1, i think they will slide this year so we are every chance of beating them on the road later in the season as well.
Dogs I've split the honors, i think we will beat them early in the season and they might nab us in the rematch later in the season.
Richmond we play once in Hobart, fair to say we should be favs in that one.
They were pretty awful down in Hobart last season.
Geelong we play ''away'' at Etihad our home ground.
West Coast away is always tough, but we do play well in the West it suits our gamestyle.
Based on?

I was asking, another North poster said that they were the most disliked on BigFooty and I wasn't sure if he was referring to the club or the fans.
Oh Ok.
It will come down to the 50/50s.
You're also unlikely to beat West Coast (Away) either.
I would say 13-16 wins is more realistic.
Knowing us if it's early in the season it'll be losses. But we'll still beat Richmond, and Geelong.

It's off season banter because certain Big Footy posters, in the main, don't have much of a life outside Big Footy, and have little else to do, don't take (anything) said around here especially at this time of year, seriously.

Funny, our fans think we'll beat you. Guess that makes it a 50-50 game then.
We have a ruckman fit and you'll get a good run for your money. Definitely no gimme game.
