Prediction Things You like to see in the 2017 Season

[Bokonon_]

I guess like all of us I look forward to the 2017 season with optimism. Lot of hard work to do and setbacks to be endured as well no doubt. Any footy season has great wins and terrible losses but these are a few of things I want to see.

1. We beat Collingwood-I think we seriously need to put this one behind us, and give Eddy something to whinge about.
2. Beat West Coast- Bit less of a worry for me as I rate them, and I dont think we played badly against them in our last loss. In my view they took it and our turn will come. In Perth would be great and I think a realistic goal, but Spotless if necessary.
3. I think we have to aim at finishing in the top 2, we cant rely on the Swans gifting us home finals again. Top 4 is a pass mark though, a tough assignment again but I hope we're ready.
4. To kick off with a win against the Crows at home to make an early statement we're ready to beat gòod sides away.
5. Bulldogs-Lets make Friday nights our favourite time to watch footy. Need I say more.
5. Finally on a personal level Cumming and Tiziani in particular to have great years and debut in the AFL side. Wish all the guys well of course, but will be watching their progress with particular interest.
All my life I've blamed over exposure to lead as a child, from dust blowing off the skimp dumps, for any screw ups at work.
Please grant them the same exuse if necessary. I seriously hope it wont be.

Not much on your wish list this Christmas then! Hope you've been a very good boy this year for Santa Claus to deliver that.
Still, I'd be happy if that was the year's haul.

Norm Smith for the General is intriguing. Would be delighted of course. He does seem to be steadily growing in confidence, relies a bit on how opposition sides match up our talls. Ithink he has the physique and skills to be a Tex or a Kennedy if Leon plays him that way. Think he might end up aiming at being more like Roughead who spends time around the ground though.

Clearly the Premiership! Aside from that, resigning most of our stars for beyond 18/19. No matter how much we win, I love watching this team.

 

[Giant Heart]

Winning the GF is obviously the main one. Other than that, definitely beating Collingwood and WCE would be good! I'd also love to see Patrick Dangerfield bestow a medal upon one of our boys on the Monday leading up to our GF.

 

[The Drug]

1) Win the grand final.

2) Finish the regular season with 150+ percent.

3) Finally beat every team. WCE's and Collingwood are the only teams left.

4) Smash the living daylight out of the Western Bulldogs. Hopefully both times.

Twice would be good. Your assuming we wont meet in the finals? Works for me

 

[Raymann]

Top 4
Premiers
Whitfield - Norm Smith after the s**t he has been thru

 

[OrangeDuck]

1. Wins against the Pies and the Eagles.

2. Smashing the Bulldogs (or at the very least some outstanding television numbers for our two Friday night games)

3. Another finals series in the top 4 (but maybe skip the win and get a week off business after the last round bye drama)

Optimistic 4. Grand Final berth.

I'd settle for Coniglio and Shiel to have their names pronounced correctly by commentators.

How can you possibly mispronounce Shiel?

I've heard both.
