Yes

Does anyone know what the dimensions of the new ground will be ?

IMO they should make it the same as the MCG . So when they play finals in Melbourne , it wont be that different for them .

4 Friday and 8 Saturday games is excellent...
With no obvious recruit coming in to make a huge impact it's going to have to come from within.
Mc cartin and maybe Freeman the ' new recruits' that could make an impact.
Many of the boys reaching the stage they should start finding better consistency..

Your percentages are completely made up and only based on your opinion of the teams this year.
You don't know which teams will go up and down, and that will happen, the ladder never stays the same the next year...
Injuries, game plans, team chemistry... It isn't just about what players you have, as we saw through richmond winning the premiership.

no, those percentages are the result of very complex mathematical algorithms learned over years of study in a tibetan monastry frequented by world renowned mathematicians and physicists burnt out by the corporate takeover of science in the west and in earnest quest of self discovery. A genius by the name of Bourbaki took me under his wing as an philosophical acolyte, and schooled me in the theories of Aristaeus the Elder. His theories borrow heavily from the geometric concept of euclidean space and are likely divine in their origin, and as such my percentages posted above are grounded in an absolute truth.

Well in that case......


BTW I agree with your assessment at this stage. We can only go on what we know.

Who would have thought that the Swans would lose the first 6 this year.

Pretty good fixture really. Only have to travel to Adelaide once for our regular away game against Port Adelaide. How many times have we played the Power in Melbourne since '97.. 4 or 5 times?

Rounds one to ten should produce 5 wins.

Rounds eleven to Sixteen are a worry, 2 wins at best.

Rounds seventeen to twenty three (five home home games out of seven) should produce another 5 wins.

I'll predict 12 wins next year!

So hard to predict so many players at the level where you are asking," will he take that next step?"
I count about 12 in that 3-5 year, 40-80 game bracket...
No one on the slide like last year in the over 30 bracket so really with some more accurate kicking and overall improvement we hope for some better results.
I firmly believe there will be quite a few games decided by mall margins.
We could finish 6th to 13th its that tight.

I hope they are small malls.
