I’m bored, away for work and there is nothing but the Queens funeral on the ****ty hotel TV.

There a few things that keep coming to mind about things we can bank on for next year. Be creative, semi serious or whatever tickles your fancy. I’ll get the ball rolling:

1. We will get an even shorter break after the bye round.

2. Every double game we play will be against top 6 sides (inc the 2 outside the 8, which will have Collingwoodesque improvements in form, whilst Geelong will have an even easier draw.

3. One positive - we will finally win the free kick count against Footscray.

That's probably enough of the mini bar for now!!!

we will wear red and blue 

we will play home games at the mcg

1. We will be fitter. We won't suffer so many injuries to key players, touch wood*

2. We will tinker with our method, I refuse to believe our coaches won't change things. They know our stars are in the window for 4 years and won't take any year for granted from now on.

3. We will blood youth

Tbh, at some point, the board will look at the coaching staff and expect innovation

West Coast in Perth

Geelong in Geelong

 

These things are surer than the sun rising 

LJ will get 35 touches and boot 5 goals against us. 

I’ll play it safe and say I’m confident you’ll see us continuously bomb the ball inside 50 without lowering our eyes.

I reckon our recruitment of Grundy all but confirms that we do plan to do this, but do it far more often from clearances and stoppages than currently we did with LJ. And therefore make up the 2-3 goal margin we are behind all top 4 teams this year  Improve goal kicking accuracy and add in a few key forwards and hopefully that adds the 5+ goals that puts us ahead of the pack. The old carpet bombing method.

Hoping for a little more tweaking/innovation/positional changes and yes lowering the eyes more!... Or it will probably come back to bite.. again.

What have you been smoking?

Someone will get injured

Someone will get a new contract

Someone will leave

all summer there will be the usual suspects on Demonland bemoaning the fact that we draft incompetently, our coaching team is stubborn and wont tweak our game plan, our medical and conditioning team is second rate since Burgess went to Adelaide, Kosi is going to Port next year, and our premiership window has already closed.

1./ We will start round 1 in a bracket of 4 teams as fav to win the flag. 

2./ At some point in the season people will ask “ is goody the right guy?” 

3./ We will play Geelong at Geelong 

1.  MFCSS will cause posters to look for the dark cloud around every silver lining.

2.  Gameday threads will be best avoided.

3  Clintosaurus will singlehandedly keep the tin foil industry in business.  

 

1   At some point Demonland will call for Goodwins sacking

2   The Kozzie trade page will reach 200 pages

3   JVR will rob Carry of Brownlow Votes.
