[SydneyRox]

Stole this idea off Quinny88 on the Richmond board, but I always enjoy having a look back at predictions come the end of the season.

Here are the areas that I would like you to have a stab at for the Swans in 2013 and we will see how close we got at the end of the season and who got the closest.

- Finals series
- Leading goal kicker (top 5, how many goals?)

Why are you correcting me to 80? Tabs said Tippett would get 60 goals. And I'm sure he meant leading goal scorer for Sydney, not the whole comp ;)
