Make a big call

[Dayze]

U owe it to the fans to go for a premiership.
That's a given.
But u have to think ahead and not leave ur list and club in a horrible position.
Ross wasn't thinking about st kilda. He thinks of himself.
Gotta introduce some youth. Like the cats have.
Gotta plan for the future, like the hawks did with buddy.
Ross is doing the same with Freo. When freo fail to win a flag he will leave them with an ageing list.

[Bill Manspeaker]

Ross Lyon really knows how to leave a list in horrible shape.
I like the sainters. Hope they can rebuild

yep, definition of "abandon ship". can't hate him though, with the tiniest bit of luck we would've won back to back flags. hope Freo are able to win a flag before he does the same to them

he was trying desperately to win a flag.

frankly, I think the list was still salvageable at the point ross left if the saints had gone hard out trading... but they didn't.

and let's be fair, ross has the highest win % of any saint coach :P

Ross is an unbelievably good coach at preparing players for gane day, and then a tactically brilliant coach on game day, but can he build a list? no he can't.  he was given a good list at the Saints and got the best out of them. he has been given a good list at Freo, and have no doubt whatsoever that he will get the best out of them. But they'd wanna hope like hell they win a flag, because he will abandon ship again

[Jackross10]

Cloke top 4 forwards.
Pendlebury won't be top 15 mids up until rd 7. Then he will come home hard and finish 2nd behind GAZ.
Sandilands will be a flop.
Pies will win the flag.
Saints bottom 2.
Buddy Coleman.
Pav won't be top 10 fwds.
Danger will explode at start of the season.
Zac Dawson to be top defender come seasons end.

Zac Dawson to be top defender come seasons end.

Not even a big call there, haha.

2014 is the first year in history that Blues supporters don't blame anyone or anything.

2014 is the first year in history that Blues supporters don't blame anyone or anything.

Haha Is that a secret prediction for us to win the flag or make Top 4?

[Noz]

Giants will go the entire season with Cameron, Patton and Boyd combining for 450 goals.

[Nige]

Dion Prestia to be Gold Coast's best player in 2014.  ;)

[Footyrulz]

Those without Dixon in their teams (for MPP with ruck), will regret it all season and the winner will have him.

Lewis Jetta will go BANG this season.

Pearce Hanley will bust with a difficult draw.

Why is Dixon so important?

Sorry I didnt see this.

If u have Dixon in your forwards, u can swap him into your rucks (with Brown/Thurlow) when 1 of your rucks gets injured. No rookie rucks will play this year barring injury to otherwise its an automatic donut.

[Torpedo10]

Harley Bennell to place average 110+ this season.

[CrowsFan]

Stephen Hill to break the tag and average 100+

[nrich102]

Gold Coast will have the best midfield in the comp after this year.

[joshua98]

Gunston top 6 forwards
Fyfe brownlow
Ablett will still be number 1 in SC land
Scott Thompson number 1 defender

[Ricochet]

1. Collingwood to miss the 8
2. Jack Martin to have a bigger first year than Jaeger did
3. Marc Murphy to average 118+
4. GAJ to improve on his 2013 average
5. Tigers to finish top 2

[Hippo]

Watts to be in the top 8 defenders after the first half dozen games
