I would quite like Pendlebury to get the Brownlow too - I've thought he deserved it in previous years but was unlucky. Sensational player and less punchable then your average pie.

 

[Decimation]

Premiers: Sydney
Norm Smith: Luke Parker
Minor Premiers: West Coast
Coleman: Josh Kennedy
Brownlow: Patrick Dangerfield
Rising Star: Callum Mills
Demon Wins: 11

[Dory_77]

I would quite like Pendlebury to get the Brownlow too - I've thought he deserved it in previous years but was unlucky. Sensational player and less punchable then your average pie.

Agreed, he's one of my favourite non-Melbourne players. Absolute gun, and (seemingly) not a flog.

 

[Proper Gander]

Cool

Premiers: Sydney
Norm Smith: Franklin
Minor Premiers: West Coast
Coleman: Hogan
Brownlow: Dangerfield. No, stuff that. Fyfe
Rising Star: Milera
Team that will come 9th on the ladder: Richmond
Demon Wins: 10
Demon ladder position: 12th
Demons B&F: Watts (Killer, mega, blossom etc)
Outrageous Melbourne related claim: Jack Watts to kick 39 goals in 2016
Outrageous non Melbourne claim: GWS finish ahead of Hawthorn

BTW: I'm not sure how if Jesse gets the Coleman plus Watts kicks 39 we manage only 10 wins unless we sort of staple Garlett to the ground or other teams just kick massive numbers. I went with instincts though. I think 2016 will be weird.

Edit: given the general theme of my prediction, I would like please to remove Milera and insert Oliver. Thank you for your patience

 

[Proper Gander]

Agreed, he's one of my favourite non-Melbourne players. Absolute gun, and (seemingly) not a flog.

He's probably my favourite too. Took over the role from Jimmy Bartel when in his prime - God I loved him at his best. I have no great love of the cats but I would genuinely love to see Bartel have a great year then retire on top of the world (as opposed to stretchered off for one too many concussions - stuff like that really bothers me)

Whoa.....that's beyond outrageous

Hahaha my hope is that he is delisted though. I generally renew my membership each year as soon as we delist a certain player. Like the other year, I renewed as soon as we gave Gillies the flick.
