Where did we finish ?

Melbourne will win the flag due to the Tokyo olympics. In the real world however they will finish 9th. It simply has to be so. 

The rest of the calculations are to hard to work out.

So no improvement on 2020. That would be the end of Goodwin and Bartlett. Did Simon make it to the end of the season?

Jack has played 10 games in a year only once in 2018,  and in no year has he played less than 10. Aside from his very first year,  where he played 13,  the rest have been well above that.

I don’t necessarily think we’ll be that bad, just believe we don’t have enough firepower across the ground.

I mentioned in the other thread, if we are less than 3-2 after 5, it will get very difficult for Goody
