Crystal Ball October 23, 2015, 09:26:21 pm We are being sold a significant amount of hope at the moment, if we we are patient!! If we are to believe that we will be contenders in 5 years time (circa 20/21), there are 2 questions to ponder: who will win the next 5 premierships? Which of our greatest rivals (Richmond, Collingwood , Essendon) will win one.Or in other words, do we have the correct strategy and structure in place to beat at least a couple of the sworn enemies (Ess, Coll, Rich) to the next premiership.16: WCE, 17 WCE. 18 Bullies. 19. Collingwood 20: GWS. 21 Carlton. Bad luck Tiger and Bombers!!!! Quote Selected Last Edit: October 23, 2015, 10:19:06 pm by townsendcalling
Re: Crystal Ball Reply #1 – October 23, 2015, 09:36:19 pm I've got a feeling WC, Freo and Sydney will all be hard to beat next year. Hawks - maybe squeeze one more freakishly injury-free season out of their pensioner squad. Cats recruiting looks pretty good on paper but they've also lost a lot of experience. They should be top 8 but I doubt top 4 which I see being mostly inter-state this year. GWS are the ones I expect to come with a rush this year. Mind-bogglingly awesome squad - even post-Treloar.

Then Wet Toast, Fluffy Ducks, Boat Anchors, and that is about it. The over grown Wallabies will always try hard but never make it, and the Doggies have only one flag in their trophy cabinet. Probably won't add to that soon, but could shake it up. I'm just not sure how the Kittens will do over the next few years with Danger in their squad. Just not sure. Quote Selected

Lyon or Clarko to then take the reigns.At least they'll take over when the team is at the bottom Quote Selected

Re: Crystal Ball Reply #10 – October 24, 2015, 06:39:06 pm Next year out of Hawks (my pick) Freo Adel & WC with Coll as a smokey.2017, Hawks will start to taper, WC Freo Adel will still be strong with Coll and GWS pushing hard. Quote Selected

Re: Crystal Ball Reply #12 – October 24, 2015, 06:56:24 pm It's a guess with many final 8 places. Regular some side comes from the pits of the ladder to make the 8 Quote Selected
