Chuck in who you think will win the premiership, anyone who will drastically move from last year etc.
-
Gold Coast to be in top 8
Hawthorn to be legendary
Essendon to fail miserably under Hird, not unlike this year
Collingwood to own with Bucks and win premiership (I am just a TAD biased, considering I'm a pie supporter :) )
Port Adelaide to make a comeback
Richmond to be in top 8
This year was fucked up. Too many changes of coaching staff and too many surprises.
-
Hawthorn premiers
Western bulldogs bottom 3
Top 8:
Hawthorn
Collingwood
Carlton
Geelong
West Coast
Fremantle
Sydney
Essendon
-
I'm an Essendon supporter, and i might be biased in saying this but i think we're on the way up, i'd put us 9th-6th this year, Pears and Heppel will carry fletcher in the defence and Hurley will kick 60 goals if Hird does the right thing and plays him up front :)
Pies premiers (as much as i hate to say it)
st kilda to make the semi's and get carlton/wcoast/sydney out of the top 4
rest of the top 8: (in order)
geelong
hawthorn
coast
carlton
ess
sydney
freo are outta here, suns to challenge top 8 and gws to display some of the most boring one sided footy ever
-
Essendon to win the flag tbh
-
gws to display some of the most boring one sided footy ever
Thats a given.
I dont think they'd get far anyway, even later.
I didnt realise how old, well rather young Heppell is. His girlfriend is pretty much our age, she's doing VCE this year and hopes to get into Health Sciences at Deakin. I got that info from the Brownlows LOL
I feel old now. Being a girl, I cant help but check out players LOL But my friends and I have realised that after this years' draft we'd be like pedos checking out the new rookies because they'd be younger than us!
-
lol true, though you sound kinda pissed about getting old
i'd put money on you breaking down when you turn 30 lmao
-
LOL nah almost being 18 is fun. I can go perv on players in tight shorts now! Nice!
30 is different but I can see myself have a pseudo mid-life crisis. Although I'll probably console my self that I'd probably look about 15 when I'm 30- considering that fact I look as if I'm 12 now.
At least I wouldnt look old and toothless like a true Magpie!
On another note, does anyone think there's a chance of Fev being drafted again? LOL
-
Essendon to win at least one final!
Port to lose to both GWS and GC :)
-
yeah port are and will be for the foreseeable future hopeless
and @ kaz, i heard something about carlton being interested and they sold their other forward, whatever his name was (irish sounding guy) but it died down and turned out to be bullshit
dont think anyone is going to risk it tbh
-
OMG how didn't I see this thread from before ?
My Predictions:
1- Cats to slide with the loss of 4 of their veterans
2- Pies to be iffy for the first few rounds under Bucks, but then come back better than ever.
3- Carlton to be top 4 :(
4- Essendon to play more consistent footy on the back of a grueling pre-season (GO BOMBERS)
5- Pendlebury for the Brownlow
6- GWS to have records broken on them. They will be miserable.
7- WCE won't have as good a season as they did this year. Probably finish 6th
8- Richmond to finish 9th... sorry that isn't a prediction, that's a certainty. They didn't get the nickname ninthmond for nothing.
9- Lance Franklin Hurley for the Coleman :P
10- Last but not least Fev to go to one of the following clubs: Hawthorn, Collingwood or Geelong.
-
no way in hell will geelong take fev when tom hawkins has finally come good =p
and as if carlton will make the top three man, seriously dont rate them as a side, maybe im biased
im just hoping essendon goes well
anyone else think hurley might end up at gws?
-
COOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLINGGGGGGGGGWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDD

Haha Hawkins hasn't come good yet. Sure he had a great finals series, but his home and away season was average.
Also with Mooney retired, Fev would be handy back up.
Also meant to say Carlton top 4, forgot about the Hawks.
Hurley will never leave Essendon. He loves us :D
-
COOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLINGGGGGGGGGWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDD
What do you call two Collingwood supporters driving their car off a cliff?
A tragedy because at least 5 could fit in the car.
BA DUM tssshhh
-
My predictions:
Hawks to win the premiership
Essendon 4-6
dogs bottom 4
North and Richmond to make the 8
Jobe Watson for the Brownlow
GWS to not win
Port to improve
@Natters Hurley will stay. GC threw some money at him and he stayed, and we'd have plenty in the cap to keep him happy.
At least I hope so.
-
Believe it or not, but my current Methods teacher at TAFE is actually extremely close with the Hurley family. Visits them regularly.
She said he isn't going to leave Essendon.
-
Money can do some weird things to ppl!! As much as i would love for him to leave the bombers, it doesnt look like he'll leave :P
-
Money does talk. For gods sake Tom Scully earns as much as Gary Ablett even with a very dodgy knee (I believe he injured badly)
Imagine what they would offer Hurley. A superstar player in the making who can play at both ends of the ground.
Superstar midfielders come and go, but not superstar key position players.
-
OK wait, seems I'm out of it- whats the shizz with Hurley??
Whatever it is, I'm surprised Heppell hasnt run. Its not like he wouldnt be without any offers.
Ok, this is the extent to which I'm not up to date: Did Ling retire?
And Fev will defs not be at Collingwood ever! We have enough decent players. I doubt he's end up at Geelong either. Both teams have a resonably young playing group- what would they want to do with a washed-out alcoholic gambler? And how old is Fev anyway? 30+?
The oldest in Collingood are Ben Johnson and Darren Jolly who are both 30. Bottom line is, you'd have to be desperate to take Fev. Funny guy, but not worth it. There's a bigger chance of Aka being recruited than Fev, I reakon.
And I second Pendles for Brownlow. The person that was the favourite the year before ends up taking it out the year after- case in point Swanny.
Pendles took out Collingwoods B&F anyway.
-
Heppel grew up as a diehard bombers supporter dude
not going :D
and if your all right about hurly im so fukn happy, bombers to win a flag before jobe retires? before fletch retires more like it :D
and sry for my skepticism on hurley leaving, but im an arsenal supporter in the EPL and we just had two of the best players in the world taken from us, one of which left for free, both having said they were happy and would stay etc. Im pessimistic about that shit
-
Fletcher wont retire. Retire will be Fletchered.
-
COOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLINGGGGGGGGGWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDD
Q: What is the difference between a Collingwood supporter and a park bench ?
A: The park bench can support a family.
Ba Dum Tshh.. again.

I cant say I dont either LOL
Any of you guys watch The Footy Show? I love Sam! He is such a Fossil!
And Shane's been bloody awesome on the Celebrity Apprentice. LOL that is such a shit show.
-
I love Sammy Newman. Sure he is controversial sometimes, but No Sammy = No Footy Show.
-
Definitely. But JimBob and Gaz have become a pretty integral part of the show.
Eg. YO GAZZA GAZZA
LOL that was hilarious. I always looked forward to Thursday nights because of the Footy Show. Although the whole reporter/news bit with Hutcho and Damo were boring. I always found myself watching foreign porn on SBS as it was more entertaining. LOL
And I love how Sam and Shane act as if they cant stand each other, even though everyone knows they love each other.

Collingwood will win the flag.

Collingwood will win the flag.
