We Live In Hope

[bunyip]

Where do you seriously EXPECT your team to finish this year. As a Geelong supporter, if we don't win the flag we have failed. Probably the same for Collingwood and the Saints.
Can Carlton reasonably expect to make the pre-lim, or is a GF not out of the question?
What about Fremantle, do you expect to finish in the top 4, or are you looking for something better?
We all hope we'll do better than last season, so Carlton and Essendon would be looking at a top 4 position, yes? Considering they both made the finals last year.

I expect Collingwood to finish top 4, and think they should finish 2nd.

Great question!

Definately looking like Cats, Pies, Saints and Freo. Can really only see the Dogs pushing there way into the four!

Great to see you back in action ossie :D.

Expect the bombers just to make the 8. Last year it was kind of a fluke just to make the finals (shown by the thrashing that followed :'().

Maybe tonight will tell a story. Is it the end of Essendon this year or the start of a fight back. You could not have picked a better night to play us.

Seriously helly, if I were an Essendon supporter, I would be hoping to make a semi this year with a young side.

You don't give Hawthorn any chance? They look very dangerous at the moment.

[ossie85]

Hawks have been winning, but they haven't been winning impressively (barring today). They're are about 3 games behind Freo, Pies, Cats and Saints... can they make up that ground?

[roo boys!]

Kangas for top 4! nah im probs guessing 10-12th.

[bunyip]

Come on Roo, even after last night you don't think they can make the 8?

But no real good forward behind Monfies or Gumby. Hille would provide a big body there but other than that, not good enough to keep up with other teams. We have to rely on our backs to keep the scoring low and our mids to bomb it long to either get a goal or force a contest for our crumbers.

[bunyip]

I hear ya Helly. It showed up last night didn't it. You have some good players up forward but you need a big full forward like Bazza or Nick

[Justin Bieber]

Pears and Watson even had to go up forward :o. Hurley was good but needed big back up.

Better recruit some big players in the draft. Maybe even trade for some.

[MissPiesFF]

I think we will finish third.
Cats
Saints
Pies
As for the blues they are all steam and no action. They will finish 6th make pre-lims but lose first round.
Freo will drop in status, and end up in 7th possie
