Story of the year: First ever all NSW GF, the Melbourne people lament the death of victorian footy and the Sydney media pretend they give a s**t for 15 minutes as there favourite players Frunklin, Hiney, Ali Ali and co take on Skullsy, Surey and Dadford

Picked the Brownlow the rise of Daniher and Harmes doing OK unfortunately also gueseed that we would finish 9th.
No good at the GF prediction or guessing how valuable of a player Hannan would become.

I wish that one utensil bag was still here who thought Daniher was s**t

For me I'm not sure if I grew out of the optimist me, or we've been so horrible in the past 10 years that I've been forced into reality. Maybe that might change when we start making finals again.
I was right here
Was talking to my mrs cousin a massive Essendon fan about how they'll go next year. He told me he thinks Essendon will make the 8 this year and top 4 in 2018. I know sometimes I get over enthusiasts about Melbournes chances (I thought we would make the 8 in 2011) but when making these predictions you also have to factor in who slides, which teams are competing for those spots. I asked him if Essendon make the 8 who slides? He said north and maybe Adelaide. What I found funny is he went on to say Richmond supporters are delusional which is true but at least they admit it. Hey we may not make the 8 but I would be disappointed if we Finnish below essendon and richmond (I will lose 50 bux if we finish below richmond.) So my prediction will be essendon and richmond supporters will come back to reality by round 4.
On reflection I'm not dissapointed but I certainly was wrong. Richmond had a great season and Essendon bounced back better than expected. Maybe I should try the delusional thing melbourne vs gold coast grand final. Melbourne by 62. Browlow medalist anb. Norm smith balic. 2018 is looking good.
