So we're not ignoring the good predictions are we?

He’s getting a reputation as a sensationalist.

I’m surprised he hasn’t got North Melbourne and Brisbane in his top 4.

Most of the new boys (ex footballers) on the block seem to be taking this route. It's how you get noticed and sometimes it works wonders for your career to be the one that people love to hate.

Looking for a headline.

We allow too many teams to score long runs of goals against us to finish in top spot.

Would require many of our youngsters to establish themselves as stars. Don't believe we are there yet.

Cant see this happening, however if we come close the post game match day threads will involve consuming a lot of bath water.

And Joe boy will still cane Dom in the three word analysis, which will give me comfort that the earth is still spinning in the right direction.

If his comments were for the ladder after the Bye he may be on the money.

Our draw means we should be 10-2 when we turn for the second half of the season, with my money on us finishing with 16 wins +/- 3 wins, so Cornesy could have pulled a smokey.

Clearly Kane Cornes has been smoking the wacky tobaci.

Shut up, Kane. Haha.

Rohan Connelly's prediction is the sweet spot. Top 4. That should be our aspiration. Finishing top of the ladder is too much pressure.

Kane is trying to take pressure off Port.

At least he doesn't have Geelong in his top 8.

Would love to see it happen, but we have a long way to go before that becomes a reality.

Injuries permitting, we're top 4 this year.

We have a really well balanced list with depth.

From a top 4 position in September, anything can happen. It's all about momentum.

Good onya Kane. Possibly a sensationalist prediction but I'm happy to wear that - it's infinitely better than reading that we'll finish 9th, or last, as has been the case in virtually every other season in living memory.

 

considering he can't even spell his given name, i wouldn't take too much notice of anything he said. or his father.

You would not believe how good life was when the Demons were on top and were unshakeable. Those were wonderful living memories.

 

Always thought he was an intelligent, perceptive and thoughtful ... Aargh, I can't keep it up! He's a try hard headline grabber!

Is he suggesting we will be the next Adelaide? Perhaps lose the flag to 8th placed Carlton.

Sniffing acid fumes from the barrels in SA me thinks...

WELL !  Someone has to finish on TOP and it might as well  be the DEEEEEESSSSSSSS . Jump on board.

Its wonderful

I think he is correct. GWS the only team who can stop us this year.

Spinning? I read some ground breaking scientific paper a few days ago that the earth is flat after all these years

We haven't even made the 8 for 11 years, finishing on top is a bit far fetched for mine

I'll have what he's having

Only top this year? I've got us top for the next 3 years. No problem. 

Cornes is a clickbait driven hack

What? 

Only finish on top. 

Poor prediction. What about the flag???

Yep. Apart from the birth of my children my most cherished memories are of seeing the 56, 57, 60 and 64 flags. I went home very unhappy in 58.

Oh to once again go to the footy expecting to win and rarely being disappointed.
