As convincing and relentless as the off-season optimists are, i'll still be surprised if we finish higher than 16th. It's conditioned into me now

Did the countenance divine

shine forth upon those darkened hills?

And was Je Roos Salem builded here

among the dark satanic DILLS?

(and then subsequently turned into a warzone again)

You're saying you got 28/1 for that bet? Mate, you are kidding yourself. I wouldn't take 28s for us to make the 8, let alone with a couple of riders...

no way that is 28-1.

Jesse Hogan is already 17-1 to win rising star. Getting on that.

Top 8 is 15-1.

So to get only 28-1, he has been ripped.

He'd have to be. The show is only worth watching for Stewie and Brian.

MacFarlane should kill off Chris if he has the blood lust.

.

They're writing another dog character in already. They'll just replace him and move on.

Thanks for making me feel better and taking note of my newest screen name.

Even if we made the 8 but were banished to 9th like the Bombers because of an injection program, I'd still take 9th

Knowing AFL's even handed approach Vlad would fine us $500k and strip us of points for preseason tanking, or maybe even for our meditation (not medication) program,

Whilst I like threads such as these, and personally I'm always considering where we might finish next year at this stage in the pre season, the reality is that it's far too early to sensibly predict, even guess. We're not even at Christmas yet, and we have had a major overhaul in terms of coaches and players since October, many of whom are just starting to get to know one another's names.

By about late Feb we might start being able to get a handle on the way things are tracking under Roos, particularly now that we have some genuine midfielders to choose from and a midfield coach/mentor in George Stone who has a proven track record in teaching and implementing structures.

The ingredients look reasonable relative to where we were at 6 months ago, but IMO it's too early to say how quickly, and well, this cake is going to take to bake in 2014 and beyond.

But Roosey is very hands on at training, Wattsey is enjoying hinself, and Clarkey is out there giving the boys a boost, not to mebtion Hogesy. Top 4 for mine.

Well then that's even better not sure what I did wrong then lol

I don't really bet on anything so maybe that's the problem

Fair enough. I'd probably think about taking 800/1 - although the one I'd be most worried about is Melbourne making the 8.

I reckon that, although Hogan isn't a mid or a super good chance of winning the Rising Star, 17/1 is an absolute steal.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
