These predictions are so dull. Most basically picking the same top 4-5 teams as 2020. The crazy Covid short quarters, 17 rounds, dont know where you are playing the next week - is hardly the prefect form line. Port came 10th in 2019, they have been shown to be very inconsistent season to season. If Dixon goes down they could miss finals. The Tiges I believe will start to dip from their amazing 4 years of form. Cotchin 31, Reiwolt almost past it, etc. Freo, Carlton, GC could easily go on a run and make finals. I believe the Demons will make finals and quite easily. The maturity and quality of Oliver, Trac, May etc will turn the wheel

Relax Rufus, these are the same 'experts' that said we had the best list and are favourites for the flag in 2019. not much thought goes into it for these blokes Carlton haven't looked close at making finals the last few years. No way they have gone past us. The Demons will prove a few wrong this year

Essendon still think they are a Big club lol 6000+ days since winning a final says otherwise

No one tipped us for the spoon. this is above average for the Demons

If we get screwed on this I will lose it We should instantly put in a request to have round two moved to the G from Marvel

Maybe it means going to Hell and then going back to Hell. We’ve definitely done that

two bottom 6 teams or maybe even bottom 4 - let them play at Marvel two teams that should play finals or be very close - play the G. end of.

How about Essendon go [censored] themselves!!??

Daw turns 30 next week so hopefully he realises his potential soon! He has been tried forward and mostly failed, lacking the footy smart imo. he is a solid backman though

Can't believe only 19 days to go! B: Jetta- May - Lever HB: Rivers- Tomlinson - Salem C : Langdon - Petracca - Baker HF: Fritsch - McDonald - Jones F: Spargo - Jackson - Chandler Foll: Gawn - Oliver - Viney I/c: Bowey- Neal-Bullen - Petty - Harmes Emerg: Laurie - Jordon - Hibberd - Sparrow Next in line - Hunt, Rosman, VDB Assuming Melk, Pickett and Angus not match fit. Perhaps Harmes (or bring in VDB) to try to run with the beast Fyfe

I assume there only 1 preseason game? so this and then round one, 12 days later? makes getting the team match fit pretty tough. expect some poor skills and busted guts in round 1. especially not being used to long games

Excellent news, thanks. squad is shaping up nicely for round 1. tall fwds an issue but aside from that, should be a good list to choose from.

Judd clearly the best first 100 games out of that lot imo, but Clarry would be in the mix for second place.

Love your work Mr. Fence. Great to have some positive news regarding returning players. We especially need Viney fit and firing for round 1 to make sure the intensity is 100% and flat efforts Less than 3 weeks until round 1!! ps. did you see young Angus? any update?

I just keep thinking of his legendary commentary quotes "you'd think the next goal is important, wouldn't you?" Yes Bruce, it's the last quarter and the margin is 5 points

I’ll never hear ‘Great call BT’ again ??

Ooooooh he knew how to commentate didn't he

people forget how good the older players were. I wonder what people will think of Gawn in 2045. for now, I am happy we have a fantastic ruckman and great leader. I reckon Petracca is the best player in our team so Gawn the best of all time? maybe when he is the best player in the current team

He is great with the Athletics and horse racing, however his footy commentary in recent years has been horrible. I wish him well. But let's hope a new generation of commentators comes through that actually call the action that is happening rather than repeating the same tripe each week and maintaining obvious biases

anyone throw up in their mouth a bit at the last sentence? James Brayshaw will step into McAvaney’s spot on Friday nights along with Brian Taylor

Devastating for the bloke. He has gotta be thinking - is his body up to the rigors of AFL if he cant get through preseasons.

Certainly agree. We don’t have any performing forwards aside from Hore. Not much depth in the midfield and lack skill across the squad

You can’t have your captain shanking kicks. She needs to handball more coz it rips the momentum apart 2 goals 18 carrying on from last week. Pathetic. The pies almost stopped in The 3rd and we still couldn’t score

The umps are bog so far. They were going at one free kick every minute in the first ten. joke. Let them play

Only 23yo averaged ~30 touches over the past 4 seasons. Adjusting last year for shortened games remarkable.
