Don't want to think about it yet.

After having such high hopes at this time last year and to only see our beloved Demons full part in front of our very eyes I feel sick just thinking about it.

Optomist - 10 wins and finish 11th

Realist - 6 wins and finish 15th/16th

Pesimist - 2 wins and LAST

I think as a realist and would hope we could at least be competitive.

2013 saw 2 wins ... one with a huge 4th qtr and the other by 3 pts with a huge 3qtrs.

Looking at the draw, 6 wins and no losses by 80+ points is the goal (9 wns in 2015). It's a tough competition. Everyone improves.

I enter every game wanting to win, but hate being disappointed during the season:

..so realistically I think GWS are ready for a slight move up, while I'm not sure who we'll pass. Possibly Saints, Dogs, maybe someone like Brisbane will fall.

So I'll predict a better season with our % substantially rising 25% from 54 to 79%, 3 to 7 wins yet finishing 15th to 17th.

I like to think that at the moment the whole MFC universe is in a hot, dense state...

Gotta love the off season. This thread would be a carbon copy of one from each of the past 5 years. Personally, I don't think we will be anywhere near the top half, but that isn't a disaster. Will be content with clear improvement and no big blowouts, but obviously hoping for more.

Surely if we can beat Essendon, West Coast, Carlton and the Dogs at the G we can beat Gold Coast too?

I'm pretty astonished so many people think we'll beat the Saints at Etihad.
