Call this far-fetched, but I'm hoping we start out with three consecutive +100 wins (Saints, Dangerfieldless Crows, & Essendon (hoping it takes some time for Woosha to have an influence))

I don't think that is too much to ask  :P

My more realistic prediction... Dixon to score 4-6 in at least one of the first 4 games *crosses fingers

It will not happen against Dempster/Fisher or Talia, but hopefully the Bombers will not mark him down or the Giants don't sic Patfull onto him

That's probably just a tad ambitious..

We can dream can't we  :P

Honestly, if Dixon gets 40 goals and plays at least 20 games, I'll be happy with his season  :)

[PowerBug]

I'll take 10 full games and 25 goals.

[crowls]

I'll take 10 full games and 25 goals.

50/50 chance

[Holz]

I'll take 10 full games and 25 goals.

50/50 chance

watch this

50 goals+

reckon port will get him right.

[Atto]

I'm not liking these expectations, it is one of the things that led us to our demise in 2015.

[Dudge]

We'll be right, Charlie will be the decoy, and Sargent will kick 65 ;D

[PowerBug]

So this is approaching fast, any guesses on the 22 for the match? I read McDermott's best 22 in the paper and just took it with a grain of salt. The bloke named Ollie Wines twice, hasn't named our 2nd best backman (Trengove at CHB), and on the Crows side seems to think Taylor Walker is FF and Jenkins is a CHF ;D


My guess:

B: Jack Hombsch, Alipate Carlile, Matthew Broadbent
HB: Hamish Hartlett, Jackson Trengove, Jasper Pittard
C: Sam Gray, Brad Ebert, Jared Polec
HF: Robbie Gray, Justin Westhoff, Matt White
F: Chad Wingard, Charlie Dixon, Jay Schulz
1R: Matthew Lobbe, Travis Boak, Ollie Wines
Bench: Tom Jonas, Jarman Impey, Brendan Ah Chee, Karl Amon
Emerg: Dougal Howard, Jimmy Toumpas, Nathan Krakouer


Toumpas or Krakouer (Or even Kane Mitchell) could come in for Amon for that final spot. Dougal Howard will only play if another tall (Preferably Lobbe) misses. No chance Hoff, Schulz, Dixon, Lobbe and Howard play in one team along with the 4 tall backs. Byrne-Jones was close a couple of times to getting a game last season, maybe he could make a late charge too.

[Mr.Craig]

Seems right.
